My husband and I celebrated his birthday at this restaurant on yesterday. We drive by this…read morerestaurant often because it's in a plaza that we visit on a regular basis. When we walked in on yesterday evening, we were immediately greeted and told that we could seat ourselves and we would be helped shortly. A woman came by our table with menus and told us about what we could order from the bar. I was completely sold when she told me she had an alcoholic drink that included Boba, which was called Boba on the Beach. It was really good. We looked over the menu which had a nice variety of Asian fusion type dishes. We placed our order and it didn't take too long for us to get our food. Everything was flavorful. The service was good so I'm sure we'll be back to this restaurant soon.

Last weekend me and a few friends went to check out Glass Panda Asian Street Food for my birthday…read more Here's how my experience started. From first look this place looks pretty cool from the outside to the inside. The pictures and painted walls were esthetically pleasing. I could see many people taking photos all around that place. Even the bathroom had a cool Panda picture on it. We were also informed by staff that there is a lot more to be done there. Of course we ordered tons of food but I will only be speaking on what I ate there. Let's start with the Korean Corndogs. I got one regular and the other one covered in blue Takis. The regular one was good, hot, and crunchy. They don't really look like traditional Korean Corndogs so visually they don't look good at all I would definitely recommend them do it the traditional way if possible. However the way they stack it is great. How most K-Dogs are done you have the cheese at the top and the hotdog at the bottom. Here they do cheese meat cheese meat like a kabob and to me that's how all K-dogs should be. I definitely preferred the original one over the Taki one. The OG gets an 8/10 and the Taki one a 7/10. The scores would be higher for both but I knocked a point for the presentation and the Taki one didn't taste like Taki at all and in my opinion I would have used hot cheetos instead. I also tried the Korean Fried Chicken nuggets and those were really good. The flavor was there and so was the crunch and that juicy chicken. Highly recommend these (they also have regular KFC drumstix/legs). 8.5/10 Next up the Bulgogi Bao. The buns were super soft like pillows which was a great start. The meat itself was good but could have been just a bit more tender. When you eat bulgogi beef it should nearly melt in your mouth. With that said whatever the sauce that was used was a bit salty but not inedible. I also would have preferred a cold slaw in there besides lettuce to help cut the salt with the sauce. That sweetness of the slaw would have made a huge difference. 6.8/10 Everything else that was ordered according to my friends was well received and we all left with empty plates and only 1 Togo box. Final thoughts: I will definitely come back here to eat again no question. I would love to see takoyaki added to the menu as well as some street food dessert items I could name a few. But this place was great. The staff was awesome and took time out to speak with us and gave great back story about the restaurant as well as some great recommendations. The drink menu is awesome to with lots to choose from, from milk tea all the way to alcohol. Service alone was 10/10 great staff. Decor was 9.5/10. If you have not been here yet please go check this place out. I'm already ready to go back!

We placed an online order at 2pm for an 8pm pickup since I was flying back and wanted everything timed properly. Around 5:30pm, my wife called to see if we could adjust pickup slightly earlier (~7:50pm), and they couldn't even find the order. After multiple holds spanning ~15mins on the phone, accusatory remarks of not placing the order at the right location, she was eventually told it would be ready at 8pm as scheduled and they could not accommodate the ~10min modification. No big deal, this was a Friday night, we get it. When she arrived right at 8pm, the order still wasn't ready, and staff seemed unsure what was going on. This was after we had already called to confirm it. Then we were told the system doesn't "trigger" the order until the scheduled time, which doesn't make much sense if you're offering timed pickups. In the end, the pizza didn't come out until about 30 minutes late for no clear reason. Really disappointing experience overall because the food itself was solid, but the breakdown in the ordering system and communication left a pretty sour impression.

The parking can be challenging, but they will be moving closer to the Walmart supercenter in Hoover on 150 sometime in the summer My son ordered the buccaneer burger and I ordered the classic. Both were just 1 patty. I did ask for ranches on the side with my tater tots, but did not receive them. The burgers definitely have a homemade taste to them. They definitely give you a generous amount of tater tots. Once I place the order, it was ready in about 15 minutes. The cashier brought it around to me which I thought was sweet. I like how it's decorated inside and it's not too bright in there. I will definitely be back to try a different burger.

It's been a while since I had hibachi so I decided to try them out for dinner. The food is cooked to order so there will be a wait, but like I always say, I don't mind waiting a bit for fresh food. The prices are reasonable. They have a choice of steak, shrimp, chicken, and veggie. You can a get combo of the proteins if you like. I ordered a steak and shrimp combo for my Husbae. I tried the steak. I ordered chicken for the kids. Our food came with Yum Yum sauce. Everything was delicious! The portions are a decent amount. It's good taste and value.

I was really curious to try the only Korean Hot Pot restaurant here in the Hoover/Birmingham area…read more It was alright; I think because I've had so many really good hot pot experiences growing up, I held my expectations here a bit steady. But I think it's great that they have a place like this here. So, the menu is limited, but it is great for a novice hot pot customer because they won't be overwhelmed. There is only one type of noodles you can get (glass noodles), and only a few selections of red meat and vegetables. But hey, I won't complain, because you can't get it elsewhere. The meat I received were super fatty. There were some when the fat was around 80% of the meat itself. Veggies were good! They have a bar of sauces and other foods you can get and add to your hot pot. Broth was fine, it wasn't anything particular to rave about. The service was great - people were so friendly and nice. They tended to us pretty well. The ambience was really cool! They have screens around the restaurant that play K-pop music videos, which was a super cool touch. 5/5 for the ambience.

The decor is very modern with lot of technology around. As soon as we sat the waiter was happy to explain how the menu worked. My boyfriend and I both did the kbbq and he did the hot pot as well. We really enjoyed the option to try to many different foods. They aren't stingy with the portions at all. They do have seasonings you can pick up but we realized a lot of the meat is pre marinated. We will definitely be back with a smaller group. Having so many people at the table did feel a little crowded.

Sides on the buffet were good fried wings, spring rolls, fries. The gyoza dumplings had pork in them so I didn't get to try them. Loved the Hershey ice cream from the cooler, probably the best part of the evening. Our server forgot about us but the manager and other hosts and servers attended to us You order your meats by scanning the QR code. I didn't initially like this but since our server disappeared Servers please know how to distinguish bt overseas south Asians and born & raised south Asians. I know my skin kin can be cheap. But I'm a person for the ppl and so are most of my friends. I'm a big tipper, if the service is good. I easily leave $20s when I'm taken care of. Our server didn't change our drinks all night. We basically only saw him twice. I still tipped a little more than 15% for my $36 bill. They use bright white lights here. I can't stand that lighting. And the vibes and decor weren't like Korean places with Kpop and fun aesthetics. It was kinda of a mix between old and new. It wasn't crowded on a Saturday night either. I'll only come here if Stone Age has too long of a wait next time. Hate to compare but Stone Age is 9/10.

I had a wonderful experience with David L and Tammy at this new restaurant located on John Hawkins…read moreParkway. The restaurant and concept are new to Hoover, but according to their website they have locations in Duluith, GA, Norfolk, VA, and Pensacola, FL. Based on the dining room/restaurant layout, food menu, and organization it is clear this is not their first rodeo. Here are some specific things that impressed me. 1. Ordering bbq and hot pot items is really simple and efficient. You use your phone to scan a QR code at your table. It loads a menu with your table's identifier. You simply submit you orders from the phone and staff shows up with your items. 2. The number and variety of items are incredible. There are too many items to try in just one visit. The quality and freshness of the meats, seafood, and vegetables that we tried were all excellent. 3. I really liked the condiment station. It has all the sauces, spices, and herbs for you to build your own dipping sauces. Also, I loved the Kim Chee and Seaweed salad at the bar; both were very tasty. 4. Finally, I like the way the center grill and individual burners are set up on our table. Your hot pot is designed for cooking. It is slightly off center so you can move cooked items/broth into another bowl for eating. I look forward to coming back soon.

The website does not have pricing which is weird however it does seem that each location may have different pricing and that is what caused it. The quart of ice cream at this location is $15.99. I truly think it was a steal so def coming back for pints of the chocolate fudge ice cream. I selected a small cup with 1 scoop and I paid $8! I think it is priced fair but definitely on the more expensive side for 1 scoop. Everything is well organized. Just really great service and interior! Will definitely coming back again and again!
