Was visiting the area with a friend and driving by, saw the "Now Open" signage upfront and decided to check the place out. It's a smaller spot that's designed to be more "grab and go" - however, there is seating indoors and outside the space. Note: there are no restrooms on-site.
Ordering is handled through a kiosk, but a friendly clerk walked out and took our order through the register. I think for the time being, they are offering free soda, but friend and I opted for the thai tea.
Menu options - appetizers, and their bowl-style entree where you choose a base (rice, vermicelli noodles, or garlic noodles), and your choice of protein. I opted for the garlic noodles and grilled chicken thigh, while my friend ordered the garlic noodles and bulgogi beef. We also got one order of garlic chicken wings. The prices are fair, considering the area and the quality of food.
The Thai Tea was great - made fresh, as the drink came out with the thai tea component separate, topped off with a thick layer of cream. Friend stirred his drink up, but I like keeping the drink component separate.
My garlic noodle bowl came out at the same time as the garlic chicken wings - which were great. The batter had just the right amount of crisp to it, the meat was tender and juicy. The cilantro cream dipping sauce was the perfect complement to the wings, and I actually saved it as dipping sauce for my noodles. My noodle bowl was great! The ratio of protein to noodles was perfect - the grilled chicken thigh slices had a nice marinade to them - juicy and flavorful. The garlic noodles were al dente, and had a good garlicky flavor. To my pleasant surprise, there was a bed of sliced greens underneath the noodles, which helps balance out the rest of the bowl. Note: That red sauce that comes with the noodles is sriracha! I found out the spicy way, thinking it was a special sauce! Thank goodness for the Thai tea!
Everything is made to order - so wait time was about 10 to 15 minutes. Something to keep in mind - best to call ahead for grab and go. Decent parking lot with plenty of space.
A new favorite whenever I'm in the area again, especially since work expanded into the area recently. read more
