We tried the Pop fries and dumplings. Both were favorable and delicious! I got the Tofu Vermicelli noodles, are first I didn't think the sauce on side would be enough, but it was and perfect. The Firecracker was very favorable and spice was great! The place was clean and reminds me of dinner seating. The music playing was loud but not too loud. We will come again!!!

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

By far one of the best Asian kitchens in Columbus!…read more Fiery Sky is easily one of my favorite Asian restaurants in Columbus. Everything we tried was so fresh and full of flavor. Their homemade crab rangoons are absolutely delicious, and the Kung Pao Triple Delight was incredible. You can really tell they put care into the food and use fresh ingredients. The employees were so nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is also very clean and beautifully kept, with a great ambiance that makes you want to sit and enjoy your meal. Between the amazing food, friendly service, and beautiful, clean atmosphere, Fiery Sky is definitely a place I'll be coming back to!

High quality chicken was the highlight of my first ever takeout meal at Fiery Sky. The General…read moreTso's was succulent and had a healthy amount of perfectly spiced sauce. The same wasn't true of the Honey Garlic Chicken Tenders. Good size and shape, but the sauce was less plentiful and didn't hit the spot like the Tso's. Rounding out the meal were the Green Beans with Minced Pork. I couldn't really taste the pork as the green beans overpowered it. But fortunately they were some good beans, and I treated the dish like a side along with the fried and white rices. I would like to dine in and try other dishes from their (Americanized) Local Favorites menu. They also have a separate Traditional Chinese menu if that's more your style.

My husband and I went to Bonifacio after work on a Wednesday, and it was quite busy! They only had…read morebar seating available, which we took. The seats were a bit uncomfortable for me but I am on the larger side. They let us know that proteins come separately from sides so we could choose both. I ordered the sizzling bisteak and a side of rice, and my husband got the grilled pork belly with a side of green beans. Everything was absolutely divine. The steak was perfectly seasoned and went so well with the rice. We both just got waters to drink, but we were super interested in their dessert selection. My husband got the mango sago and it was so delicious! I got the Ube Carioca which was unlike anything I've ever had before. I am usually a coconut hater, but it was subtle and perfect. The texture was super satisfying as well. My husband, who isn't a huge ube fan, also loved it! Everyone was super friendly and though it was awkward to sit at the bar, we enjoyed our time.

Curiosity satisfied…read more. We dropped by without reservation for Saturday dinner, they had seating at the bar area or the high table. We chose the latter. The place is not big and they usually have large parties coming in, thus fills the space quickly. We started with Tofu chicharron which we were expecting to be crispy - because chicharron means 'crackling pork rinds' but these Tofu were soft a lil disappointed there. We tried the pork sisig, it was okay. It has this mayo topping and there's an overpowering taste of ginger which is not typical of sisig. We enjoyed the grilled pork belly though, marinated enough and it's complimented with soy vinegar dip. The pancit on the other hand was very greasy. The oil was pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Taste was was just okay. It has way too many chinese sausage in it. We completed our meal with Ube Carioca, it is this chewy rice cake that is deep fried with glazed sweetness & that was okay as well. We wanted the mango sago, however they were out. The service was prompt and adequate parking space.

I opted for delivery and was looking for a quick soup. Another helpers picture caught my attention and they offered free delivery on dash. Food arrived really fast, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious. I had the Dapanji stirred noodles which was silky and smooth and packed with flavor. The chicken was chunks of thigh meat on the bone and had bell peppers and potatoes. Sounds simple but MAN! Delish! It also had fresh noodles in a separate container. I also ordered hot n sour just in case I didn't like it, and I tasted it but couldn't put the Dapanji down. Hot n sour was also fantastic (leftovers for lunch tomorrow!). The eggroll was so so fresh and crispy. Not oily at all and the texture of the meat (white meat chicken) and veggies was PERFECT! This was probably the best door dash meal I have ever had. I must try eating in the restaurant soon! Side note, they also packed everything in the cutest containers and included utensils (spoon, chopsticks, toothpick)
