My husband and I were looking forward to trying Nikka based on the reviews, and we were not…read moredisappointed. It's a relaxing and casual ramen shop that also offers sushi and rice bowls, so you get plenty of options! Their broth is cooked for 24 hours, so the flavors were deep and super creamy. They're also pretty generous with the protein! My husband ordered extra, as we assumed there might not be enough (our usual experience at other ramen shops), but we definitely did not need it! I was sad that I couldn't finish my bowl - I was already stuffed halfway through! The pork shoulder and pork belly were so tender and fell right apart. The staff were very nice, welcoming and provided quick service.

Came in for an early dinner and thank goodness we did because it fills up fast…read more Ordered their special that day (forgot what it was...) and the ramen salad. Both very generous portions and very good service! In my opinion, their broth is a little on the saltier side. The texture of the noodle was great but taking a spoon full of the noodle with soup was too salty for me. The ramen salad is a good sized portion with noodles and lots of green and pork. The idea is a little weird but works? Would get if it was I wanted something on the lighter side

I'm always craving pho from Saigon, literally all the time. Always consistently good. I get the…read morecombination pho, and my boyfriend loves the pineapple fried rice. 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!

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 a cold and rainy day, so chicken soup sounded perfect…read more I found this little restaurant close to our hotel. I had the chicken pho. 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.

Their rare steak pho was absolutely delicious and savory. The noodles were springy and absorbed the broth perfectly! I had their fried rice and was blown away by it having shrimp and chicken!

Lao Wang was delicious! I ordered the Garlic Tofu bowl to go. The veggies were fresh and really…read moregood. The garlic sauce was bomb and a perfect pairing with the tofu. 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.

My family and I ordered several dishes at this restaurant yesterday for lunch. I ordered a rice…read morebowl. Last night, when I got home, I felt unwell and had diarrhea twice. I usually have a very good stomach, so I'm pretty sure there was something wrong with the rice. Thinking back to when I ate it, the rice balls seemed sticky, the taste was bad, and I didn't finish it. So, I'm fairly certain that this restaurant called Lao Wang has food hygiene issues. I don't recommend trying it.

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.
