The bar keeper doubled as our waitress. She was very friendly and helpful with the menu. Our group ordered: -kim chee Kalbi quesadilla - 5/5 -loco moco - 4/5 -Country fried pork chops - 3/5 -breakroom special -2/5 The quesadillas were amazing and would be the dish we'd come back for. Like some reviews on Yelp have noticed, they were out of items like shrimp and in our case, no mashed potatoes. The rice didn't go well with the cheese+gravy+chicken. In hindsight, we should have asked for fries to be used instead of rice. The pork chops were lacking in flavor and didn't match the hype of sous vide pork chops. They've updated the menu recently so maybe we'll give them a try again.

We haven't been back in a while because we honestly forgot about this spot, but this visit reminded us why we love it! We ordered takeout and got the Social Moco and chicken fajita quesadilla with truffle parm fries. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the Social Moco was PACKED! The service really stood out. Before handing us our order, the guy noticed some sauce leaking and took it back to clean it up before we even noticed. A little spilled sauce wouldn't have bothered me, but I really appreciated that extra care.10/10! Definitely coming back more often.

The Uni pasta was the best one. The oyster shooters came out last even tho we wanted it first. We order it twice. The first time was good but nothing special. The second time was horrible.

I sincerely thought it wouldn't be enough food to fill me up. I was wrong. My husband and I are usually big eaters and we were both full. He ordered a bucket of beers - 5 for $25 which was a nice deal. The Nonna's Special Drink - "Lost In Rome" was both pretty and delicious! The service was excellent! It's a family owned business and family operated. They are very friendly, down to earth, and it's easy to kind of feel like family, even as a customer because of how easily they chat and talk to you as if you've known them a long time. Upon first walking in to the main entrance, it felt a little strange since this used to be a Foodland. But when we were sitting at the bar talking story, we kind of forgot that we were sitting in one small eatery that is a part of a larger food court type environment. It was a Friday night, which apparently is salsa night. There was an open area kind of in the middle of all the eateries where there was a couple teaching salsa to people who are interested in learning. From what it looked like it seemed that these were all individual people that showed up separately but partnered up to learn the dance. Overall, I would definitely recommend you check this place out. We liked it so much that we're going back again tomorrow night.

I like coming here because you can eat while enjoying live music, which makes for a fun atmosphere. This past visit was a little disappointing though (first pic). I usually order the ahi medium because I like it a little more cooked, but this time it came out closer to well done. I feel like it's always a little hard to know what cooking level to ask for because it seems to vary each time. I've been coming here over the years and have had plenty of good experiences, so I'm giving it 4 stars overall. But if I were rating just this most recent visit, it would definitely be closer to a 3.

I asked for something similar and she gladly accepted the challenge, dancing around the bar searching for ingredients and even adding a little absinthe fire flame.

I loved the setting - quaint and not bustling loud; perfect for a pleasant conversation. The staff was very attentive and always made sure our drinks were filled This is a great place for brunch and the price is very affordable. I could not believe it also included prime rib!

The Vietnamese fusion food here is very flavorful! On my most recent visit, I tried: 1. Chicken Wings: These reminded me a little of The Pig and the Lady's (PATL) Laotian fried chicken, but not entirely. PATL's version has more crunch and nuttiness to it. These were still really good, but I think I might like PATL's a little more. It's a close call though! 2. Eggplant: I think I was more excited for this dish than I ended up being after trying it. It was just okay for me, and I don't think I'd order it again. 3. Soft Shell Crab Pasta: This one was yummy! I liked the flavor of the pasta, and eating it with the soft shell crab was really good. 4. Brisket Beef Stew: The pieces of meat here are pretty large! I wasn't a big fan of this dish though. It was okay, but I don't think I'd order it again. 5. A5 Wagyu Beef Pho: The meat was nice and tender, and they give you a lot of it! I will say the broth was a little too salty for my liking. From my previous visits: 1. Charred Bok Choy: Good greens to add to the meal! 2. Bone Marrow: I always love bone marrow, but I will say I think I'm more of a fan of Italian-style bone marrow than this Asian fusion version. It was still good though, so it might just be a personal preference. 3. Spare Rib: I don't think they have this on the menu anymore. 4. Salt and Pepper Calamari: This was really crispy, and the sauce that came with it was good too! 5. Chicken Pho: The broth was nice and smooth, and the noodles were good. I think I still prefer the regular beef pho though! Overall, even though not every dish has been a favorite, I've enjoyed coming back here. The food is flavorful, the atmosphere is nice, and it's a great spot for a special occasion without feeling overly fancy. Definitely a place I'd return to!

Chao- a Vietnamese fusion restaurant. Sounded interesting so we went for a date night…read more RESERVATIONS-They were easy to make on open table but you should make them way ahead of time if you're looking for a particular time slot. PARKING- the lot was absolute madness. I guess between Chao and Shinso tei(the bar next door), it gets busy. But I'm sure residents in the stress must use the lot too because I can't imagine that huge lot being full from 2 establishments. The lot was still full when we left at 9, after Starbucks was closed and I doubt oreillys has that big of a customer base that late at night. RESTAURANT-the interior has beautiful lamps and wallpaper. SERVICE-we arrived about half an hour early and the host tried his best to try to seat us right away but after we saw the panic in his face, we assured him that we know we are early and can wait outside. He was very apologetic and grateful. Our waitress was great and our water was always getting filled (a sign of great service) DRINKS- husband got a Pinot Noir and I got the coconut matcha cloud. Both yummy! MENU- the menu isn't huge but it was still difficult to choose. But, we ordered the seafood ceviche and Spanish octopus for pupus. The ceviche was great, it had coconut milk in it which was different and lovely. The Spanish octopus was a whole tako leg. They gave us a knife to cut it, but no fork. I think it looks nice plated whole but also think the restaurant should consider slicing it instead because the tako was harder than I expected. For entrees- we wanted the pork belly but they were out so we ordered the crab pasta and brisket beef stew with noodles added. The pasta came with 2 fried soft shell crab and the pasta itself was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was creamy. My husband enjoyed his stew which also came with a crispy baguette. For dessert, we ordered the butter mochi with nice to net you corn ice cream. The mochi was grilled and had a firmer texture than most butter mochi but you could taste the char which I really enjoyed. It was just a little hard to cut while trying to keep the ice cream balanced on top. The next time we go, we'll try the pork belly and lobster dinner roll, which our friend says is the best.
