My BIL took us here the day before we headed home from our family trip. We all opted for the hot…read morepot & Korean BBQ option. The individual hot pot was pretty good especially the broth. The BBQ on the other hand....boy you talking about some impeccable food. If they had this where I lived, the wait staff will know me on a first name basis. This is the spot to go for Korean BBQ if you're ever in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. OH...the loud Super Mario sound...it's just the robot food server roaming around. Lol

What an amazing restaurant ! I am obsessed with this place!…read more This restaurant was insanely delicious-- what's not to love ? They have little robots bringing around food, which improves service. And it's fun to see these cute little robots with food and drinks ! The ambiance is very lively and exciting ! People are truly enjoying the experience, and it shows ! Had a great time with a variety of options and will definitely be back soon for more amazing food! AND they give you free ice cream at the end of the meal! LOVED IT ! WILL RETURN !

The Lava Kitchen has nailed every single dish on spot…read more Steam rolls texture was sticky and didn't fall apart. Not only that but the meat portions were amazing. Same with the egg rolls, lots of meat and veggies! Kapoon is for those who like it creamier w/ coconut and it is delicious. My grandmother was surprised how much meat they added. Could use more veggies though, but this is based on personal preference Space is small but fits a big family if you're planning to visit! Service was quick and will be back again

Waiter did take a little long to take order and it was a little while for the food to come out…read more (Made sense since the food comes out hot & fresh) BUT the steam rolls were so delicious and filled with a generous amount of meat. The steam roll peanut sauce was not good, the one from golden harvest is 10/10!! The kra pao was very delicious, got a 3/5 spicy and it wasn't spicy, but it was still very good. S/o ordered pho and it was neutral like any other pho, egg rolls weren't the best, very bland.

First time checking out Pa'l Mar in St. Paul and it did not disappoint. The vibe had that lowkey…read more"this food bout to be fire" energy , and it was exactly that. Even though I came early in the afternoon and the place wasn't packed yet, the atmosphere was still welcoming, with a "come as you are" kinda feel. The staff? Super friendly and laid-back. You could tell they love what they do, and it makes all the difference. I ordered a large margarita and listen, it was hitting! Strong, fresh, flavorful.. one large is truly all you need. For food, I went with the chimichangas, and they were everything. Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside 10/10, no notes. Definitely planning to come back, maybe during a livelier hour to see it in full swing. But even on a quiet afternoon, this place left a solid impression. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

I was actually really excited this place was close to my house. The food was absolutely delicious…read more!! The shrimp cocktail was full of shrimp and all the seafood was very fresh . The service was so quick even though they were busy. The restaurant is so cute and colorful and it's very clean and there's easy parking outside . I had also ordered a beef tip , chimichanga meal, and shrimp quesadilla to go and that was also really good . Additionally, the amount of food that you get is a lot and their prices are very decent. If you're wanting Mexican food and want a local spot that is worth your time and money. This is definitely a place you should check out.

Two reviews Vegasm -…read morekimchi potato cakes. $16.00 this is a special that may not stay on the menu. I eat what I want and this just stuck me as something to try. They were good. The whole menu was interesting. The surf and turf was octopus and beef tongue. $13. My wife liked it very much. Meals were about $12 to $20 dollars. Mixed drinks about $10. They have a very interesting flight of mixed drinks for $20. You get to try 5 items. About an ounce and a half each. The deserts were the surprise. About $7 to $9 and very good. Not too large but enough. We are looking forward to going again. ************ Always good food and fun drinks Red headed stranger $15 very good Two people got cocktail flights $6 per shot and each in a different style glass. Ron Swanson, Mother of Dragons, why not, palapa no más, cross eyed, 2 had Pork belly ramen $24. Very nice broth and good sized bowl. Took a good portion home for lunch and it was good then also. 2 had grouper. $30 Said it was cooked perfectly Some had brandy Alexander $24 and said were very good Expresso martini $14 good comments Server was Katie R but she had good support for others including one owner. We had a good time and our friends had not been before and said they would be back. As of course will we.

The service was very friendly, albeit a bit slow. The pace was easily forgiven because our server definitely played along and had a lovely personality. The drinks were nice, but the food was even better. We enjoyed the brussels sprouts, baguette with honey butter and pesto butter, apple salad, the walleye, the Wagyu steak, the bison pot roast, and the New York strip. In particular, the walleye was delicious, the Budino was decadent, and the Wagyu steak was prepared perfectly.

I was able to get my appetizer and entree made vegan. I had the beet salad and the sweet corn risotto, my mom had the Caesar salad and the sweet corn risotto. For dessert my mom had the yuzu blueberry mascarpone topped cheesecake. All the desserts have dairy in them. My mom also had a glass of the Vouvray wine which was amazing. Overall it was a fine meal, the food was good, but I don't know that it was worth $140 after tip. I don't know that we will be back, but if you are looking for a place right on white bear lake they have seating inside and outside.

Appetizer: - Breaded Mushrooms w/ Wasabi Mayo dipping sauce…read more($8). The Breaded Mushrooms are very large, beer battered that creates a thin crunchy shell. Yet, the Wasabi Mayo sauce doesn't complement very well--and if you leave the mushrooms for more than 15 minutes or so, they become soft as the frying oil settles. They're good. Entree: - Steak Dinner w/ Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Garlic Bread, and choice of a side (I chose Asparagus) for $22. First, the Asparagus was thick, seasoned well, crunchy, and perfect. I could eat a plate of them! They proudly proclaim all steaks are from Creekstone Steaks Black Angus. I've never heard of them, but my medium rare 8 oz. NY Strip was chewy and a lacked some marbling which made it dry. The steak should really use a good salting and coarse ground pepper coat before cooking. The steak was cooked a minute past perfect medium rare, but close enough. Still, I NEVER use Steak Sauce, but I did add some Bulliard's Steak Sauce that was on the table. Not really impressed with the steak's pre-cook seasoning. Steak Sauce: Bulliard's Steak Sauce is similar to A1 Steak Sauce, but more Smokey and less acidic. Service: Prompt, friendly, efficient, and attentive. Great! Ambiance: It's a HUGE place with many booths, tables, and seats at the bar. The Bad: their signage outside on the building is not lit, so at night, you may miss it (it's next door to a Sushi place that does have outdoor signage that is lit. Overall: I would say the experience was middle of the road. Affordable prices, plenty of food, but nothing stellar. I may visit again and try something else--and will ABSOLUTELY order the Asparagus!

I would go there again.
