The Cauliente, SPICY CUCUMBER, The Garbaonzo
Eva B.

I am so sad because my meal here was delicious and they had some great veggie options but I can't go back because I had an allergic reaction and though I reached out for an ingredient list I was only given the list of items on their menu and the way they list there ingredients for that not the actual ingredients that would have given me any info on allergens so I am afraid to go back since I ordered multiple things but don't know what exactly I reacted to. I got my food to go and everything tasted great! If you don't have to worry about allergies or need specifics on their menu items I would still totally recommend the food.

We tried many of their different bao flavors and were pleasantly surprised! The flavors were bold and fresh. We ordered a side of taro chips and they were stale, but otherwise we enjoyed our meal!

The yenta  lil bao wow The sticky chicken (From left to right)

I personally didn't love the boas that I got but they do stuff them full. The yenta has a super strong flavor of mustard only. It's dripping in mustard and the cabbage slaw also tastes like mustard. The pastrami beef doesn't taste seasoned. The lil bao and sticky chicky was ok nothing I really have note worthy. Personally not something I would get again. It was like 3 for like 16$ with tax.

I believe this is a chain, and they have a restaurant in Philly too. The Sticky Chicky (grilled chicken) bao was their best thing. I got without spicy sesame aioli. Very good and flavorful but very expensive. One bao bun and one small piece of chicken for $5 The Crispy Chick (fried chicken) bao was also good. I got without umami mayo. Again very expensive The Bang Bang (shrimp) bao my wife said wasn't good. Grilled Chicken Bowel I got with extra egg (again expensive even to add on egg). Was ok. Chicken was thick and dense. Rice/veggies were cold The Big Finish (fried cinnamon sugar bao) dessert was ok. Not too sweet.

The Prime Time and The Crispy Chick
Amanda L.

Love this spot! Has become a pretty regular lunch spot for my co-workers and I. The flavors of everything I've gotten from here are never lacking, and the portions for everything are generous. The crispy chick and the prime time are my go to. Also have tried the crispy chicken bowl with noodles which was great and a ton of food. I just didn't use the side of teriyaki that came with it. Taro chips with the Asian mustard aioli and spicy crunchy cucumbers are so good. Ambiance is clean and quiet. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is for the service. Not awful, but I have an allergy to pineapple and had called to see if their teriyaki had pineapple in it (because a lot of teriyaki does) and the woman who took the called seemed very short and answered with a quick "I don't know" so I asked if anyone else would know (the people cooking) and she said "I don't know, I don't think so". So I just tried to avoid ordering stuff with it since she didn't offer anyone else to speak to, and I was never given a straight answer. I don't know if she was busy, or what but I really enjoy this place and would love to try more, but if you're not going to take the time or have the patience to offer additional help to a question about an allergy, that's not cool.

short rib  Falafel

The short rib and sticky chicky are my favorite. I love the crispiness of Brussels sprouts. I hope they add a bbq pulled pork one to the menu. The taro chip bag is only 1/4 full. I would have expected it to be more full. There is only 1 dessert choice, which leaves me wanting more from the dessert menu. The order was ready at the time promised.

Nectar is a standout on the Main Line--modern, stylish, and always a little bit of an experience…read more The space itself is gorgeous, with its high ceilings, warm lighting, and sleek, Asian-inspired design that sets the tone for a special night out. The food is consistently impressive. Sushi is fresh and beautifully presented, and the menu offers a nice balance of creative Asian fusion dishes with familiar crowd-pleasers. The Peking duck and lobster fried rice are delicious, and the cocktails are equally well-crafted. Service is generally very good. It can get busy, and sometimes things move a bit slower than you'd expect given the price point. Speaking of price, it's definitely on the higher end, but the quality and atmosphere usually make it feel worth the splurge. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or when you want something a little more upscale than the usual Main Line options. Nectar doesn't disappoint.

Made a reservation for dinner here and checked out the previous reviews for dress and environment…read more Dressed up a bit and showed up for an early dinner around 5. I was surprised when we arrived that the place was empty. Environment is upscale Asian decor with high ceilings and a combination of booths and tables. Tables and the parking lot filled up by the time we left. Everyone was dressed very casually. A regular at the corner table came in her tennis outfit. We came, of course, for the food. Two of us ordered a sushi special roll and another off the menu for an appetizer. They were not impressive or tasty. The crab roll seemed to be lacking a lot of crab. The foie gras appetizer although $45 was a good value for three pieces nicely browned on top of some sushi rice. The entree special of scallops with risotto was just ok. The scallops needed a better sear and the plate presented was a sleepy beige all around. The venison special was the envy of everyone at the table, tender and flanked by the goat cheese dumplings. The rack of lamb was not cooked as a rack but as individual chops. It was tasty nonetheless and served with pillowy gnocchi. Desserts were enjoyable including the beignets, chocolate cake, and the strawberry frasier. Service was ok but we were obviously treated differently than the regulars. Not sure I will include this place on my rotation.

Service was prompt and friendly and the food very good. Nothing crazy - some rolls, dan dan noodles, yaki udon, some sushi, dumplings, and satay (family style). Prices are reasonable - even had some desert. All in all - a welcome addition to the local BYOB club. A return visit is warranted.

They said the restaurant was very crowded and we wouldnt be able to finish a meal in a hour. Instead, we opted for takeout. Even after being told takeout was a faster option we still waited 45 min for our food. They do have some good deals for lunch specials and an extensive regular menu. Additionally, they now serve ramen. I got a Bento box for lunch and it was delicious as well as being a fairly generous portion. The box had shrimp and vegetable tempura, 4 pieces of California roll, 2 dumplings, white or fried rice, and salad or miso soup. I was only able to finish half for lunch. I also tried their scallion pancakes, and they were top notch. Candidly, I did not see past the entryway, but the restaurant seemed clean and cozy. The staff was friendly, but did seem a bit overwhelmed with the lunch rush. Would I go back? Absolutely, but only if I wasn't in any kind of hurry or time crunch. If you're looking for takeout, I recommend calling ahead then going to pick it up. Ambiance: 3/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Value: 4/5

The restaurant is clean and nicely maintained, and I liked the cool ambiance. We started with pan-fried pork and chicken dumplings. They were the perfect texture and temperature and the sauce was good. I only tried one of the pork dumplings, which by itself lacked flavor. I enjoyed the delicious Tom Kha Gai soup -- best part of my meal. I ordered the Red Hot Roll, which was beautifully presented but was just OK. It was not spicy at all and had a weird aftertaste. I couldn't put my finger on it: I thought it was the wasabi or avocado, but it still tasted funny without them. It was disappointing. The teens had Crunchy Spicy Tuna Rolls, which they liked but also noticed a subtly odd flavor. They finished with tempura fried ice creams (one vanilla, one chocolate) and I had a green tea ice cream. No issues there. Service was satisfactory. Our server was attentive and accurate, and our water glasses stayed filled. Overall, it was average -- not bad, but nothing special. I would probably not return.

My wifey got the steamed dumplings and they were plump, hot and tasty. My dad got the Hot & Sour soup which was a bit too spicey for him, but he finished his bowl. I ordered the sashimi sampler as it said it had seven pieces picked by the chef. I expected seven different fish but instead received 3 tuna, 2 yellow tail and 2 salmon. Nice portions so it was satisfying but I wish I had asked. Wifey had a shrimp tempura role she loved and dad got the General Tso's chicken which was really really good and a good size. We will be back. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 because it did start to get busy but we had to wait a half hour for the check. They were definitely understaffed for the evening, which was understandable but still should have tried to free our table.
