Everything was fresh and constantly refilled. The hibachi grill was delicious, and the sushi was surprisingly good for a buffet. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent. There are so many options that everyone can find something they enjoy. Great value for the price--I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Nothing was good. The curry noodle was watery tasting. The egg plant was watery. The Pad Thai was super sweet and did not have a true Tamarind taste. The Drunken noodle lacked flavor and chicken. I'm not sure how the chef can think this is good! It was the worse Thai food I have ever tasted. The only thing half way decent was the fried appetizer platter which is difficult to mess up! I would avoid this place unless they get a new chef or revamp the recipes. Ambiance was lackluster. Half grocery store half restaurant and did not look clean. It seems the owners have given up. This place needs an overhaul!

I was a big fan of the appetizers like the edamame, potstickers, spring rolls, and the satay chicken. My only complaint was that the crab rangoon filling was overly creamy and lacked flavor. The curry was just the perfect amount of spicy. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was the perfect way to cap off a delicious meal. The waitress and owner were very sweet and welcoming. You can tell all of the food is made with lots of love.

It's no exaggeration when I say that my dining experience at Maple Tree Inn was one of the best…read morerestaurant experiences I've ever had! My niece and I couldn't believe this was our first visit, especially after hearing so many great things. This place is incredibly popular, so I definitely recommend making reservations. After checking in, we waited less than five minutes and struck up a fun conversation with two lovely ladies who were also first-timers. It was the perfect start to the evening. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting, with Mardi Gras beads and colorful carnival masks throughout the restaurant that give it so much character. Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations made choosing from so many tempting options much easier. Now let's talk about the food... EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! To kick things off, I ordered the Creole Voodoo Zombie, and my niece had the Hurricane. Both cocktails were fantastic and set the tone for an amazing meal. My niece is an excellent cook herself and has dietary restrictions, so dining out can often be disappointing. That's what made this experience even more special--she genuinely loved every bite. We started with the crab cake appetizer and the BBQ shrimp appetizer, and both were packed with incredible flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened ribeye, swapping the broccolini for the collard greens (worth the $3 upcharge!). The steak was perfectly cooked, and those collard greens were phenomenal. My niece chose the blackened red snapper étouffée, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't leave without dessert. We shared the Mississippi Mud Turtle Brownie topped with marshmallow fluff and the strawberry shortcake. Our server suggested pairing the brownie with a butterscotch liqueur, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation--it was the perfect finishing touch and complemented the dessert beautifully. We've been talking about this meal ever since we left...and that's probably the biggest compliment I can give. In fact, we were so impressed that we made reservations for next weekend before we even left--and we're bringing two friends with us! Perfect for: Date nights, celebrations, or anytime you want a memorable meal that's worth planning ahead for. Maple Tree Inn absolutely lived up to the hype. 10/10--highly recommend!

My last visit was when they were still on Old Western Ave in Blue Island--way overdue for a return. Let's start with the food--absolutely delicious. The three of us kicked things off with the Cast Iron Cornbread, and trust me, don't skip it. Perfectly done and a great start to the meal. For mains, we went with the Pitmaster's N'awlins Gumbo, Hickory Buttered BBQ Shrimp, and Burnt Ends. Every dish was spot on--flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. The restaurant itself is pristine--clean, polished, and classy without feeling stuffy. Service was just as strong. Our server, Nick, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Safe to say, it will NOT be another 30 years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

The best Vietnamese Restaurant In northwest Indiana just got better with an expanded dining room…read more Still the finest Pho savory noodle soup dishes, the most delicious Banh Mi sandwiches, excellent noddle and rice offerings. Eating healthy with the freshest ingredients is available here. Hardworking friendly owners that provide wonderful food at very reasonable prices make this place a diamond in the rough of Hammond Indiana. I find it fast and easy to order food that arrives promptly via the use of my food that one accesses the menu via one's camera after being focused on a QR Code on their dining tables. Likewise old school photo menus are available that one can read off of can be used to place one's order to a server as well. The place has expanded into the building next door to meet the needs of the demands of its very loyal customer base. If you're not one of their loyal customers, it's most likely because you haven't tried them yet. I would have posted a review of this place long ago but I've waited until now as I didn't want to wait for a table which was a common occurrence prior to them enlarging thier dining room. Thus the best kept secret can now be stated. "Asian Kitchen is the best at what they do!"

At first there was an initial response which was delayed after a few days. The information that was provided was contradictory to the prices listed on the website. When questioned about the drastic price difference, was provided with "these are the prices that we are not charging we just haven't corrected the website". The worker asked for a menu that we were interested and after approximately 2 weeks still no response, besides "we're extremely busy". Attempted to utilize a service provider that the food truck is affiliated with, to which, they never responded to the provider either. Such an unfortunate experience with poor customer service for a food truck acting with such a pompous attitude.

I don't know if they have a new cook or what, but it was not it. We ordered our food, and it wasn't until 20 minutes later that the waiter told me they were out of rice and I had to pick a different side. I switched to the mac & cheese, and it was a 1/10. To make matters worse, my sister's plate came out with rice on it! To top it off, the service was seriously lacking. Our waiter had very little patience when helping us with the drink menu. Third time definitely wasn't a charm for this place. Hopefully, they get it back together! The drinks were good, though...

Chef Rob was just fine with this. He is friendly and passionate about his work; it was fun to chat and hear about how he transitioned from the corporate world to his own catering biz. Our menu featured Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, grilled boneless chicken thighs, couscous, and homemade frozen custard with lemon crumbles. For the non-cheese eaters in our group, Rob prepared a separate salad with olive oil vinaigrette. The chicken and veggies were very tasty, seasoned with nothing more exotic than salt, pepper and dehydrated garlic. There were practically no leftovers. The custard was richer and more velvety than Culver's. The only dud was the bland and mushy couscous. Before the meal was over, we were already contemplating a future event with Rob.

Rob and his team of two others arrived an hour before the event started to get everything set up well. The food was delicious, and the guests were raving about the variety and flavors. It seems like Rob has a great range as a chef and is especially accommodating of any dietary restrictions or preferences; in fact, we asked him to work around some specific unique food sensitivities for our event and he did a wonderful job navigating that. The pricing was very reasonable for such high quality, and I can't recommend Babito's Bites enough based on the incredible food and phenomenal service we experienced at our event.

The manager, Tony, offered zero apology, zero solutions, and at one point responded to our concerns with, "What do you want me to do?"

We solved the problem ourselves by going to Cafe Borgia, where Karen immediately seated us and provided excellent service and food. They saved our Christmas Eve.
