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 really wish Yelp would let us rate places with .5 stars because I'd probably give this place a…read more3.5 overall. Generally speaking, it's usually good! 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.

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!
