I finally got to try the raw marinated crab, which was so flavorful and delicious. We got to met the owner and she was so nice!! She also introduce us to her mother the master chef! I love that this restaurant is a small family owned restaurant. If you're in the area please stop in and give them a try if you are looking for good Korean food.

It was pretty quiet when we came by. The actual space is fairly modern with TVs and decor that feels very Asian (even the water jugs!). I actually came here a while ago and wasn't a big fan, making me think I just didn't like tofu. However, this time around, I LOVED what I got. I ordered the Vegetarian Mixed Vegetable Tofu Soup (and asked to make it spicy). It was so good -- really deep flavors alongside a great level of heat. The tofu was delicious and perfectly soft. The rice it came with was also really good -- I'm not sure exactly what it was. The service was fine, but a bit slow given we were one of two tables in the restaurant.

I feel like I got burnt out on it a while back but eating with a vegan had me pleasantly surprised when they brought me here to try their house-made tofu dishes. I really enjoyed their difference in bon chan and was delighted by their $.50 hot drink station at the front. It was cute and very whimsical to get a korean milk coffee out of a quickie machine that presents its own cup when you insert quarters like you're traveling abroad. I liked it a lot. When you're sitting in their little booths, it's also very private and you can also view their process of making tofu in the back on the televisions on the side while you eat it, which is very informative as well. The staff was very clean and prompt at taking orders and never missed anything either, so I definitely appreciated the wait staff and attitude as always.

We drove an hour to eat here, and we are more than satisfied with the food and service. The service was very friendly and extremely quick. Once we had ordered our food, I went to the bathroom and by the time I got back we had already received our banchan, shrimp tempura appetizer, and bulgogi, followed by everything else shortly after. All the food came out fresh and the bulgogi came out sizzling on a hot skillet ready for us. All the meat we ate was very tender and flavorful. The yukgaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup, 육개장) was slightly different than what we are used to, as it was more like small slices of beef rather than shredded; however, this is not a complaint as the meat was still extremely tender and almost melted in my mouth. Overall the soup was delicious and exactly what we were looking for. I also wanted to mention the banchan and how fresh it was. There honestly was not a dish that we didn't enjoy, even the fried chicken was amazing (we were so full we had to bring it home). My mother even said she would eat there everyday if we lived closer. At the end of the meal, we were brought watermelon slices. I was tempted to ask how they picked their watermelons or where they got them from, because they were soooo sweet and delicious! It was refreshing after eating all that food. Overall, we will be back 100% and ready to try more menu items. I highly recommend that if you enjoy authentic Korean food, you come here as this is now our #1 spot over Hodori in Mesa.

I walked into the restaurant and the nicesr lady behind the counter greeted me and took my order. She said it would be about ten or so minutes for my order to be ready. So, I went next door to the store and then came back. That same lady and kind smile was there. I took my food and headed home. To my surprise when I got home and opened my food and it was not beef and broccoli. I immediately returned to the restaurant and the lady who helped me previously helped me again. She was super apologetic about what happened and it was so not a problem at all. They quickly fixed my food and when I got home...omg!! This was some of the best beef with broccoli I have had in a long time. The brown sauce is light with a hint of spice and not super salty. What really blew me away were the large and tender pieces of broccoli. The beef was super soft with a little chewiness to it. The meal was so good I had to stop myself not once, but three times from eating everything! I am so excited that this gem is just ten minutes from my home! This is a must when in this area!

However, I'm on a kick right now to try places that I may have overlooked as I've been seeking out the new, shiny restaurants we have in the valley. Shaanxi Garden is just that, right there in plain sight on the corner, it's been around for years. With a renewed focus on the landscape I think I will keep trying places that aren't new by any means, but are new to me. For our visit, it was about 8pm on a Wednesday evening. Definitely not popping, only a couple other tables were full. However the server was quick to greet us and get us started, and I liked ordering from my phone & a QR code, and thus being able to see the photos and descriptions of dishes. This helped us in making a great decision on what to try. And when we were finished, we "checked out" online where we placed the order and our server came over with the bill and boxes. All very smooth. I knew this place was known for its wide, thick Biang Biang noodles so we ordered the vegetarian version (tomato & egg, chili oil noodles) and an entree of the fragrant stir fried lamb. Tasty dishes! I liked the texture of the very long noodles-- good chew & bite, reminded me a bit of having lasagna noodles. Flavors were great, veggies tasted fresh, and everything came out hot & fast. We definitely couldn't finish everything so we had some leftovers for lunch another day. This was all about $34 before tip. That's a deal right now in the current food landscape! Lower price didn't taste like lower quality. It was all very good. Definitely would like to come back and try other items. The menu is pretty extensive, normally I don't like too many options but their ordering system makes it a bit easier to navigate.

Everything that had a "L" were the lunch options, as well as appetizers and soups. We ordered: bulgogi, beef brisket, beef belly, rice cakes, japchae, curry soup. I liked that the soup came out in a small dish incase I didn't like it then it wasn't a big amount. The appetizer dishes weren't the best compared to other places. I thought the rice cakes would be more like tteokbokki but they were deep fried? I would probably skip the appetizers next time and just stick with the meat and veggies. The meats were also ok, nothing too special about the flavors. Probably a little better at some other kbbq spots in the area. The service was top notch though!! It seemed like one worker was running most of the front end. She seated us, took our orders and constantly checked in if we wanted to order anything else. There was another worker who dropped off the food but the other one seemed like she was covering all the tables herself.

They do a weekly destination menu on top of their regular menu items. Met Lisa and her brother, David, and mom, Judy, who was there working with them. The location is in the old Curry and Scoop space at McClintock and Elliot, close to the Pollack Theatre. Wife asked for the Jet Fuel Punch, with no Sprite but half punch with lemonade to drink and I went with the Island Breeze (think Pina Colada!)...both were freshly made! The Island Breeze had chunks of pineapple and coconut shaves and such a great addition. Lisa helped us navigate through the ordering menus and we landed on the Express Box, which gives you 3 signature stops, 3 core destinations, along with two of their homemade sauces. With all of the amazing choices, it took us a bit to decide on which egg rolls to order so we landed on Island Jerk, Maple Leaf Morning * (in honor of Canada week), Philly Street, Little Saigon, OG Lumpia, and the Veggie Eggroll. We also partook of the free crab angels they are currently offering for their grand opening. Wife and I shared the order, which was perfect for an afternoon snack/meal. We started with the crab angels, an order is three. They were stuffed full with a cream cheese filling, light on the crab but overall extremely wonderful! Used the sweet chili sauce for dipping. Next we tried the Canada one, which we liked...filled with scrambled eggs, sausage and real maple syrup for dipping. It was different but actually good. Moved on to the try the Island Jerk, which we both fell in love with. Yes, with a bit of smokey spice, I cooled it down a bit with their peanut sauce (which is thick and so tasty!) Next was the OG Lumpia, which was what I was craving. Made with ground pork and shrimp (you will have no idea shrimp is in there!) and veggies. Again, tried it in both sauces and either one was a great match for the crispy, juicy filling. Philly Street came next, which is made with steak, onions, peppers, and cheese and guess what? It's like a Philly Cheesesteak but in an eggroll wrapper. It was so good! We ended with the Veggie Eggroll, which we agreed was one of the best of all of them. Again, both sauces we chose were perfect for dipping. Every single roll we had were fresh, flavorful and packed full and fried to perfection. They have definitely mastered the egg roll and Lisa is open to menu suggestions she said. Their weekly specials (Limited Landings) are so unique and honor their namesake...like this week's Canada one with the maple syrup. Next week's U.S.A. special will be brisket so can't wait to try that! We had seen the special on Channel 3 a few weeks ago and that's what led us to come in initially. Happy to see that fellow Yelpers are also visiting! Highly recommend this new business and hope they become a long-term staple in our neighborhood.
