    Chicken & shrimp plate

    First time going food, service, and quality was great I would definitely go again! Some nice seating areas to gaze outside as well.

    Every visit the staff is welcoming and food is delicious. Definitely a gem on Sunnymead !

    Special note for momma to be! The curry and teriyaki chicken are amazing!! And she added some free potstickers for baby

    Been coming here for years and every time we come back it's like visiting family! They really care about their customers! I forgot my wallet and they let me order anyways and said I could pay them later. Who does that these days?! So much love here! Amazing food and incredible service! Welcoming ambiance!

    I've eaten here over a dozen times and the food is consistently good. They're the only restaurant in the area that I know of with real deal delicious Galbi. The cashiers are always friendly and quick to take orders. My food is always fresh and their teriyaki sauce is great. The place is always clean and the workers are constantly tidying up after every customer. Come try their Galbi of Chicken Katsu plate. I just wish they had hawaii bbq style macaroni salad but I'll still eat here regardless!

    A FAVORITE FOR YEARS! My go to is the chicken and galbi combo plate and a blended mocha. I've had good quality food and service here my entire life. Love supporting this small business and highly recommend to anyone who wants good food made in a timely manner in a clean and bright space.

    Milk tea was full when i asked her nicely if she can take it back and switch it for me

    I dined in the chicken bowl was okay the chicken was burnt and tough to chew & i also Ordered a Milk tea & was not the usual taste it had a weird strong taste, when i asked if i could switch it because it was my daughters drink she just kept repeating very rudely no i can add ice it's the same recipe!

I think this is one of the few places that makes it really well. The broth is perfect, and I really enjoy the mild taste of shrimp in it.

The restaurant was fairly busy for a Wednesday, and the atmosphere had a good energy from the staff. I ordered the seafood pho with medium spice along with spring rolls. The pho was okay--I did appreciate the freshness of the shrimp and imitation crab, but the noodles were just average. I was hoping for a richer, more flavorful broth, but it tasted a bit flat for my preference. The spring rolls had decent flavor, though they were loosely wrapped and tended to fall apart. The peanut sauce was also not my favorite, as it seemed a bit watered down. Overall, the experience was decent. I enjoyed the vibe and service, but the food could use some refinement. It may still be worth trying for yourself to form your own opinion.

They didn't make us feel rushed at all and were really welcoming throughout the whole ordering process. The fish tasted really fresh, which is one of the biggest things I look for in poke, and they had a good variety of sauces to choose from depending on what flavor you're in the mood for. The toppings bar was also really solid with a lot of options, and everything looked fresh and well stocked. I liked that you could customize your bowl however you wanted and still have everything pair well together. One thing I really liked is that they actually pack the containers full, so it genuinely feels worth the money. I even got a small bowl once, and it was still loaded with fish, toppings, and everything else. The inside is clean, spacious, and has plenty of seating, so it's a nice spot to sit down and enjoy your food instead of feeling cramped.

    DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO TRY THE FOOD…read more Unfortunately, the service is what made us walk out, which really sucks because we were genuinely looking forward to eating here. When we walked in, the restaurant was noticeably dirty, and the only clean table available had buckets placed underneath it to catch rain leaking from the roof. We initially sat at the first table near the door since it was the cleanest option, but because it was cold and raining, we asked if we could move to a different table and requested that it be cleaned, as it still had the previous customers' mess on it. Keep in mind, before we moved, the waitress handed us a jug of water and two cups, which we brought with us to the new table after it was cleaned. Once we sat down and began looking at the menu, she came back and took the water and cups from us -- which was honestly confusing and uncomfortable. We probably should've said something in the moment, but like most people, we assumed it would be addressed when she returned. That wasn't the end of the experience. While she was clearing our table, a larger party arrived after us and was seated. Not only did they have their order taken before ours, but I also noticed another party who arrived after them being helped as well. I hate to bring this up because I understand how stressful service jobs can be, but the waitresses also had an overall attitude that made us feel unwelcome. At that point, we finally had enough and decided to walk out. We're genuinely pretty laid-back people and usually very understanding, especially when places are busy. However, the restaurant wasn't busy, and there didn't seem to be any clear reason for the way things were handled. I hate to bring this up because I know service jobs can be stressful, but the waitresses had an overall attitude that made us feel unwelcome. Because of all this, we finally had enough and decided to walk out. To be honest, we may come back in the future, but even though the food looked amazing, the service was simply too poor to stay. For now, this earns 2 stars.

The restaurant itself is super spacious, and since we came at kind of an odd time after the lunch rush, it was really calm and relaxing inside. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Calamari, and it was really good. The calamari was crispy, lightly seasoned, and still tender inside, which made it super satisfying to eat. I do wish it came with a dipping sauce, but we already had sweet and sour sauce on the table and ended up using that instead, which actually paired really well with it. We also got the Chicken Pad Thai, which honestly impressed me a lot. The portion size was huge for the price, I think it was around $12-13, which felt really worth it for how much food we got. The noodles were flavorful, well cooked, and had a good balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors without feeling too heavy. The people working there were really welcoming and kind, and it felt like a family-run restaurant, which made the experience feel even more comforting and homey.

Don't expect refills or conversations about the day or the meaning of life. Bathroom: clean. Toilet and a urinal. Food: Before my main course arrived, I was served a small cup of egg drop soup and some crispy noodles with some type of sweet dipping sauce. Considering these were complimentary, I'm not going to complain. Soup was my okay. my mapo tofu came with a side of white rice. Upgrading to brown or fried rice will cost you an additional $1. This is the most bizarre mapo tofu I've ever had. Rather than the traditional ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, this came with long strips of fried pork and no mushrooms. I'm also used to thicker sauce, but this one was very watery. A tad spicy, but not over bearing. Maybe a recipe from a different Provence of china? Not what I was looking for. $15.00 later and a fortune cookie...and I was done. Not sure if I'd come here for the mapo tofu again. Others in the restaurant offered the 2-3 item combos. Typical orange chicken or Kung Pao chicken w rice or chow mein. Not my thing.
