The sweet waitress who was taking care of us apologized bc the manager wouldn't come out. Fast forward after eating there several times I went again today. I ordered and the waitress came back and said "you were here last time and you didn't pay your bill". I assure her that I had been there several times and always paid my bill. She continued to repeat this as I'm surrounded by other customers now watching. She stated it was me bc I ordered the same thing. I paid whoever's bill was still open, canceled my order and I won't be back. For a $20 bill they lost my family as customers.

We ordered the…read morepancake charcuterie and it took around 45 minutes to come out which was sort of a long wait, especially because I could see our plate waiting in the window for at least 10 minutes. The food all tasted good besides the fruit which had no taste. Loved the fruity pebble butter! I would come back and I'd love to try the dinner menu.

First, just be aware that prices have gone way up since the last menus were posted (posting new…read moreones here), so be prepared for sticker shock. I stuck with the basic burger, adding Swiss cheese, and was more than satisfied with the size and the included fries. The side of slaw I added was not what I expected -- the cabbage was very finely grated and the flavor was heavy on the acidic end; could have used a touch more sweet and maybe some carrots (might have been in there, couldn't tell). The decor is colorful and fun, with a big high ceiling. I stayed at the adjoining Hotel Tupelo, so I took my leftover fries up to the room for later. I saw several couples there on what seemed to be dates, and there was a pair of doctors in scrubs at the table next to me, simultaneously eating supper and attending some kind of online seminar. A large group of teachers from a state conference occupied a group table, and the atmosphere was lively. Noise level is fairly high.

While exploring Starkville today, I happened upon this wonderful establishment, and it proved to be…read morea marvelous discovery from start to finish! Stepping inside, I was immediately struck by the impeccable atmosphere and immaculate cleanliness. The decor is thoughtfully curated, creating a serene, modern, and thoroughly inviting setting. The venue may be an intimate little spot, but it exudes real taste and charm. The service was top-tier from the moment I arrived gracious, efficient, and extraordinarily warm. To begin, I ordered an iced coffee as my drink of choice for the day, which arrived with impressive speed. It was wonderfully smooth, crisp, and mixed to absolute perfection. For my main course, I selected the Thai Noodle Bowl from their special menu. I was also deeply impressed to see such thoughtful, well-crafted vegan options available. When the bowl arrived, it was an absolute culinary triumph vibrant, wonderfully fresh, and rich with divine, beautifully balanced flavors. Between the spotless environment, stylish decor, and exceptional hospitality, this establishment earns full marks from me. A complete hit I shall most certainly be returning

Overall 2.5 Stars So, have you ever rooted for team to win…read moreand the outcome is more disappointing than you expected? Well, this was the case for this restaurant. We all went in there with higher expectations and it failed. Ambiance: 3 Stars - Connected to the their Asian market, you enter on the left side of the market. Open space with 12 normal size tables that seat 2-4 and one round table with a capacity of 6. When busy, it can be loud however during our visit, it was not. The only person that was loud was a toddler and she was part of our group. We took turns with her by going through the market as we waited for the food. Service: 3.5 Stars - the highlight of the meal was our server. She was friendly, professional and knew the menu options. We asked different types of noodle options and she was able to answer them. Our drinks was on our table within 5 minutes of ordering and made recommendations from the menu. Food: 2-2.5 Stars - We, ALL, wanted the food to be better. All items were fresh and served hot, however the flavors were notably missing. 1. Shrimp w Garlic Sauce (spicy) with vegetables and served w a bowl of steamed rice. 2.5 Stars. - Well, it wasn't garlicky or spicy. I think the Garlic called in "sick" for this dish. The sauce was too sweet and chili peppers was more of a garnishment to the orange garlic sauce. However, the shrimp were large and cooked perfectly. 2. House Mein - 2 Stars. Again, lack of flavor in the sauce. The egg wheat noodles were al dente, as it should be, and the veggies were fresh. However, the shrimp, sliced chicken, and pork didn't soak up the flavors of the sauce. It was "meah". 3. Shredded Duck Lo Mein noodles 2.5 Stars. We thought this would be a rich dish due to the lovely texture of Duck meat and skin. However, the shredded Duck was too thin to enhance the noodle dish. Plus, it was a bit salty. 4. House Mei Fun 2.5 Stars - thin rice vermicelli noodles served w pork, shrimp, egg, sliced chicken, bean sprouts and beans. The soy and oyster sauce is the based for the ingredients to be mixed up. Overall this was best of dish of the 4 items we ordered. However, it was slightly salty. To enhance the dishes we added Hoisin and Sriracha for added flavors or to balance the sweetness or salty taste. To the cook's credit, both types of noodles (Lo Mein - thicker egg or wheat based and Mei Fun- thin rice vermicelli) were cooked perfectly. Now, will I come back again? Maybe. I would try other dish to confirm if other dishes are more flavorful.

Their food selection isn't huge, but that's okay because every single item is amazing. Whether you get their ramen, bao buns, eggrolls, po boys, or appetizers, I promise it will be delicious. My personal favorites are the eggrolls. They have a wide selection on the drink menu, but you can order any standard mixed drinks as well. I recommend trying at least one of their signature cocktails, though, because there are some really neat options! The only downside is the limited seating, which can be annoying if they are super busy. If you get a table or a seat at the bar, you'll have an amazing time. Otherwise, you might be standing along the wall waiting for a spot to open up. That's a risk that's probably worth taking, though, given how great the atmosphere will be while you're here!
