Spouse ate at the Elmwood Park location on April 8 with friends. On a previous visit, he bought…read morelasagna (one meat, one spinach) to take home and we were pleased with it. This time, the spinach lasagna portion was extremely small. It certainly wasn't worth $15.95 and barely took up half the container; it looked sad sitting in one corner. I usually get two dinners from the lasagna ... not this time. I weighed the lasagnas; the spinach was nearly 4 ounces less than the meat. If your kitchen was running out of spinach lasagna, they should have said so instead of putting an undersized piece in the order. An email to Pompei went unanswered. Look at the attached photos, then remind staff that portions should be the same ... and if there isn't enough, then you don't sell the little piece or you cut the price in half, too. Spouse should either get a free half portion on his next visit or be refunded $8 to his credit card.

We sat down, noticing that we were the only customers in the cafe (*awkward), but the awkwardness was quickly alleviated with our server (owner?) and cook -both guys were great! Food was very good! On the way out, I just noted to our server that my water cup had a crack in it -nbd though, it was plastic. Good experience overall.

We arrived on a Saturday around 7:30 and they started getting packed and had a wait by 8. They are cash only but if you forget they have an atm inside as well! Prices are so shocking! Each bowl was about $14 which is the cheapest I've seen a bowl of pho in a looooong time. Food comes out pretty quickly. We order the appetizer fried shrimp Rangoon, bun Bo hue, pho dac biet, and avocado smoothie w/boba. The base of soup for both dishes was AMAZING! Good depth of flavor and not lacking anything. The bun Bo hue had a ton of meat and they even have the pork blood cubes! Pho dac biet was lacking a quantity of meat but good variety. The only complaint I have is the Avocado smoothie was very bland and didn't have much avocado taste. The boba tasted old because it didn't have its chewy texture anymore. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for the food!!!

Welcoming, comfortable, and the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Everything we've tried has been excellent. Our go-to order has been the wings and the chicken Caesar salad, which are both consistently delicious. But today we tried the Shia LaBuffalo Bowl, and WOW it was absolutely incredible. And honestly, the name alone deserves bonus points. So clever! We cannot wait to try the rest of their menu, EVERYTHING sounds delicious. We have to give a huge shoutout to Katie behind the bar. She makes us feel at home every single time we visit. She's warm, friendly, funny, and an exceptional bartender. I'm pretty particular about an Aperol Spritz, and Katie makes my favorite spritz in the city. She also makes an amazing mango margarita and a fantastic spicy watermelon marg. Great food, amazing drinks, and the kind of hospitality that keeps you coming back. We absolutely love this place and highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!

It felt very cozy inside. The menu is decently sized and lots of options. I got the chicha to drink since I thought it was similar to an horchata.

We ordered a combination platter #5 (chicken and falafel), a chicken wrap with fries and a drink, and hummus with pita. The food was amazingly fresh and delicious.

I was only able to eat half of the wrap and have leftovers for lunch. The employees were kind and patient with my family when we tried to decide what to order. They answered questions without complaint. The restaurant had plenty of comfortable seating and was clean and well decorated.

The food is always fresh, and even a day or two later it still tastes really good which is a big deal for catering. This is definitely my go-to now for events.

Unfortunately, I left really disappointed. I ordered an alcapurria, pescado frito, a pastel, and a jibarito with rice. The alcapurria came out first and was so hard I could barely even cut into it. Since it was lunchtime, I wasn't expecting something that seemed like it had been sitting around, but beyond the texture, it was also really lacking in flavor. I figured maybe it was just an off item or an off morning, so I was still excited when the pescado frito and pastel came out. Unfortunately, those were disappointing too. Everything just lacked the flavor, sazon, and that feeling of food being cooked with love that I'm used to when eating Puerto Rican food. The jibarito was mediocre and didn't have much meat, and the rice was dry with large clumps that weren't even separated. I really wanted to love this location because I've had such good experiences at the Fullerton restaurant, but the quality and flavor just weren't comparable. Based on this visit, I wouldn't come back to the Belmont location. I'l stick with the original on Fullerton.
