We ordered a few small and large plates to share and each dish we tried was so full of flavor with a decent portion size! My favorites were definitely the chuletas de cordero and croquetas. The arroz con pollo was also a star dish that's a must try. Definitely save room for dessert because the tres leches was amazing. The restaurant has a fun vibe and is really spacious with a good amount of seating. The staff was really great as well and brought all our dishes so quickly even though it was a busy night. I can't wait to be back!

The one weird thing was the timing. We got all of our dinner courses very quickly but had to wait a long time between drinks and then it took a very long time to get dessert after ordered.

First time trying Ethiopian and let me start by saying it was delicious. This place has street…read moreparking and is a little dark inside but you can choose where you want to sit. It has smaller tables so better to go with just 1-3 other people. We got the Sega Bebaynatu Meat Combo, we didn't realize the portion of this and was recommended getting 2. Kind of a mistake especially since my friend couldn't eat all the meat. It was huge, there were only of us but it came out on a huge platter. You can definitely share the one portion. The food is also pretty heavy so I got full faster especially since they give you a plate of Bread and it is also underneath all the food. The lentils was probably my favorite it balanced out the rest of the flavors and this dish was absolutely full of the flavor. If you like spicy and sour this is for you. And if you really like sour, the salad has the perfect dressing. I did ask for a little more salad, but it is an extra cost so keep that in mind. There was only one worker and i think kitchen staff so service is a little slow. It is hard to get their attention so keep that in mind.

We came here on a Friday night and the restaurant was full and there was only one server. The waitress was nice, but clearly overwhelmed and it took a while for her to take our order and get the check. The food itself was good and fresh. We got the chicken, lamb, and vegetable combo. It came on a big plate with lots of food. The food was served on top of two layers of injera and she gave us a plate with additional injera. We ran out and it was hard to flag her down to ask for me. It turns out to be $3 per additional piece fyi. Overall, I would say it's the best Ethiopian food I've had, but they should have at least two servers on the weekends.

The boba is pretty good too. I miss when I was right next door and getting it every week. They have tablets to order on or you can give your order to a cashier -- service is quick and pleasant. They have tables to dine in and free fruit flavored water to drink. It gives local boba shop w fluorescent lighting type vibes. It's popular with the local college kids despite having a competing chain nearby. (I do like pokeworks but I would kill for a Waikiki near me). My only complaint is they have no rewards program (like Pokeworks does). I guess they know the food is good enough to not need it ‍

My partner had a margarita, which was enormous and perfect. My only complaint is that there's no mole on the menu!! (I've since learned that mole isn't a 'thing' in Jalisco.)

It was pretty busy and we were seated at the bar which was a little crowded. Loved the decoration, it was black interior with red lighting and interesting seating arrangement with tables down the middles and plants around. For drinks we got the Saigon Sunset which had a little sour flavor and was my personal favorite, the Gimme with an interesting flavor, and the Old Fashioned which is what you expect (old fashioned are not for me). The bartender was great, he was so patient even with how busy it was making sure to always check up. For food, the Goi Ca/Fluke was so good. It was flavorful and the texture. The peanut butter sauce wasn't too nutty and went so well with the fish. I ate every little piece up. We also ordered the Wagyu Viet Carpaccio which was also good. It was refreshing to eat and came with a large cracker for eat bite.

It's a really cute space with a nice rooftop vibe and would be a fun place to hang out, especially when the weather is nice.

We didn't get a chance to try the food, but we heard it's good, so I'd definitely be open to coming back to try the food next time. Overall, super cute rooftop and great atmosphere, but the drinks were a little disappointing for us!
