After work, I decided to stop by Nikka Ramen for some lunch. It was a weekday around 1:30pm so it…read morewasn't too busy and I was seated right away. I knew I wanted a rice bowl but wasn't sure what I wanted on top. When I saw the half and half option with tuna and salmon, it was the perfect combination! The order only took a few minutes before coming out. It was delicious and very filling. There was a good combination of textures and flavors that made it a well rounded bowl. I had an efficient but delicious lunch experience at Nikka Ramen. I'd definitely come back!

Cute place. I loved the California Roll, the crab salad in…read morethe roll was delicious. I got Veggie Ramen. It was good. Very creamy. Tofu was nice . Husband got spicy ramen. He liked the ramen but he also like the tofu more than the chicken. It was very busy and they had tons of delivery pick ups. I didn't get a dessert but they had trendy desserts like the peach ice cream. All if the servers were very helpful and nice.

We share a sampler platter because we can never decide at app we want, it has a little bit of everything. We love the chili oil on EVERYTHING. Portions are large, great for family style or for a second meal. Staff is friendly. And the place is beautiful. Saigon recently got a face lift, but same delicious foood!

It's definitely been a while since we've been here... it looks completely different! I was kinda…read morebummed out by the lack of trees, they used to have so many! The new renovations look fantastic though, definitely feels elevated in terms of aesthetic and vibe. The portions are still so big and the food is absolutely delicious. They have pretty good service and even have dessert! We came to celebrate a birthday and enjoyed the meal together. We did miss the old fish tank too though.

It was full of white meat chicken, yummy rice noodles, and savory broth. Absolutely delicious and warming. Hubby had the shrimp pho. He was very pleased. He had a large bowl and slurped down every drop. Loved this little gem of a restaurant, and hope to return.

We were passing the area when we decided we needed some lunch. I found this place on yelp and…read moredecided to give it a try. It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.

Food is okay, proper portions and relaxing ambience, it's a place for easy day to day meals.read more

Foggy day in Goleta called for something warm, so we pulled up to Phamous Cafe with the fam and…read moreyeah, that rare steak pho did exactly what it needed to do. Hot, flavorful, and straight comfort in a bowl. Nothing fancy, just solid food that hits the spot when the weather's doing the most.

They have a seating area inside and outside, and it it pretty spacious. Service was quick. I didn't wait more than about five minutes for my to-go order.

I feel like the SB area is lacking a Thai option that truly knocks my socks off but Yummy Thai is tasty, the restaurant is large, and the prices are better than some of the other options.

I actually appreciate having the opportunity to have a say in how done my meat is so kudos to Sizzling Lunch for operating this kind of restaurant. This specific location had some minor issues though, mainly with service. I've been to a few other locations in the Bay Area and the service is always good. Unfortunately when we visited this location as we were passing through, the server was grumpy from the moment we walked in. The food was quite good but the Rib-eye special did not come with soup unlike the ones in the Bay Area. But once the garlic buttery beef hit my tongue all was forgiven. Five stars for the excellent sizzling plates and garlic butter minus one star for the mediocre service.

The udon pairs perfectly with the beef and corn and I love drowning mine in teriyaki sauce. Their appetizers are pretty good as well but nothing I'd go out of the way for. Service 5/5: They are pretty quick and always nice. Ambiance 4/5: Their bathroom situation is pretty weird and after going outside only for it to be locked, I just gave up.
