    a bowl of chili and meat in a sauce
    Brendan O.

    Without a doubt the worst take out food ever. What is this? Ordered two different meals. Both tasted the same, ie terrible. Straight in the trash can.

    "glad to find indo-chinese food joint within reach..." being an Indian, I always look out for indo-Chinese food and heard about it the lot...glad I tried this y'day (03/09) and apart from food what I found fascinating is, its Price ;) in $5-6, you can have sumptuous appetizers... wallah. we tried 4-5 starters... pan-fried chicken chilli, steam dumplings, chicken lollypop, chicken 65, samosa and everything was good. they allow BYOB too. in the main course, we ordered triple schezwan rice (too spicy), china spice fried rice and Hakka noodles... quantity was as usual too much so we packed the rest. the server was one girl who is full of courtesy... and she was the one who was taking care of all the order from 4-5 tables and delivery too. only con is they don't have too much space but what I saw, people opt for 'to go' over there. bottom line- will go there again for sure :)

    Hooray For Thai Bay!…read more Authentic, Affordable, and Made with Love -- Thai Bay is a Must-Try! Thai Bay is one of those rare mom-and-pop gems that makes you feel like you've discovered something special. It's a tiny spot with just one table, clearly designed more for takeout -- but don't let the size fool you. The food here is phenomenal. The menu is small and selective, but that's what makes it so good. Every dish is made fresh to order with high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the difference. Nothing is overly greasy or bland -- just clean, bold Thai flavors that hit every craving. Their curries, stir-fries, and noodles are all standouts. Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. You can tell this family puts pride and heart into every meal they serve. Whether you're a Thai food fanatic or just looking for a delicious, no-fuss dinner option, Thai Bay will not disappoint. Support this amazing local business -- your taste buds will thank you!

The sauce was delicious, the noodles were so yummy and it had a really nice amount of crunchy veggies. And the shrimp were perfectly cooked! -I didn't love the pad thai but it was very much liked by others, so that might be a me preference. -the pineapple fried rice was really tasty, and almost had a curryish taste to it which was different. But the tofu that it came with was almost dehydrated. It was literally crispy on the outside and hallow on the inside. I didn't have more than a bite. Get the pad see ew!

    A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

    Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

Pork w spring rolls on vermicelli ($24) - reasonable enough portion but very overcooked. Should be a staple of any Viet spot so idk what they're doing here Would call them right now but they close at 9.... on a Saturday.... I will update this review if I'm able to reach them during biz hours for a resolution but this is easily the most disappointing meal I've had all year. Save your hard earned money and go to Ela's greek or literally anywhere else on this block, even Dominos. EDIT: Went in next day and spoke to a manager, only mentioned portion size and showed the picture, didn't get a chance to say anything about everything being overcooked. He had clearly heard these complaints about portion size before, because he immediately launched into saying the cut of beef + tendon they use for the rendang yields that as their standard portion size. He refunded the calamari. I still won't be going back and would never recommend this place, but wanted to acknowledge the resolution. Also my husband unfortunately wasn't there to speak to them, but he's been in restaurants for 25 years and knows they served chuck, not a fancy cut...
