    Good but I guess I was expecting more... We went here on a Sunday and it wasn't busy so we got our food quickly. The presentation is nice and they have crinkle cut fries!! My favorite!! We both got medium spice for our heat level and to be honest, there was no heat and I love heat!! Next time we will try a hotter sauce. The dry rub is a little off putting, I was expecting more sauce. We will be back, just not going out of our way...

    Dave's Hot Chicken was INCREDIBLE! This is the best hot chicken I have ever had in my life. My bf and I went to Dave's Hot Chicken on a week night and the drive thru line was long so we chose to order in. Once inside the restaurant you are greeted by an array of colors and plenty of indoor seating. I was surprised to find that it was not nearly as busy inside and we got are food much faster. We each ordered a chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were krinkle cut which are not my favorite but they were nicely seasoned. You are allowed to pick how spicy you want your hot chicken sandwich, which I appreciated, and the sandwich came with pickles and some fresh coleslaw on it. In addition, it is served with honey packets and Dave's sauce. The sandwiches were delicious and I am craving one again as I am writing this!

    If you love spiced fried chicken, you gotta go here!! The chicken is always so juicy, crunchy, and super seasoned! It just doesn't compare to other tender spots. I always order the xtra-hot and it really kicks ya! They also have a heat scale if you can't handle spice which is super cool! You def have to order the mac & cheese too! It's so creamy & pairs so well with the meal. You can also add cheese on the sliders! So yummy!! :) The service was great even if they make some mistakes. They are usually super sweet about it. Good space & bonus points for the drive thru!

    1 tender and 1 slider with fries.

    The chicken tasted great at first. I like the different breading than the usual fried chicken tenders. I think it was the dipping sauce that really brought it down. It was a mayo base and not really tasty. I will try Dave's again but I will bring it home so I can dip it in ranch instead.

    I love this location because there is a lot more seating. However, parking is more limited. They do have a drive-through and the line can be extremely long. The food was delicious as always. Service was good, nothing superb.

    The Menu, simple yet accommodating

    Super convenient location in St Paul Highland Park district. Simple menu and above all, delicious tender chicken and crunchy fries. Get ready to get messy (in a good way) and start licking your fingers (yes, it's finger licking good). The option for hotness is an extra special to meet your desire level. Option to take out or dine in. DINE IN of course, you do not want to eat soggy sliders and fries! Will definitely come again.

    Ordering is counter service and they have buzzers for when the food is ready. This is an interesting new chicken option. The fries were really good. They were crispy and the seasoning is so enjoyable. The chicken had a really coarse dry rub. The slider with the slaw was a really good combo. The the pickles are nice and crisp. The restaurant looked small from the outside but has plenty of seating with 1/2 booths, tables, stools at the window and a small patio. I wish they had easily accessible ketchup and more Dave's sauce. The food took about 10 mins. It would be great for a fast casual meeting. They have gender neutral bathrooms.

    We had high hopes for this restaurant, but over all it was underwhelming for the price. Won't be back. The people were nice though...

    Woke up today and had a hankering for some crispy pork belly. My go to spot (Firebox Deli) didn't…read morehave pork belly this week, so I decided to check out Pinoy Fusion in St. Paul at 789 University Ave W. They used to be a food truck outfit, but now have a kitchen and a couple of tables inside the Phil-Oriental Market. The market itself is pretty small, with a decent selection of Filipino grocery items, and the small deli is located in the back. Just follow the incredible smells wafting from the rear of the store. Belly up to the counter and about 8-9 entrees are kept warm behind the glass, cafeteria style. Everything looked pretty appetizing, but I was jonesing for the crispy pork belly. I got a pound of that goodness, and I asked the lady helping me what the meat was on the skewers next to the pork belly. She told me it was BBQ pork on a stick. They looked like charred meat candy, so I got 3 skewers. A small take out container of white jasmine rice also came with the order. I also asked if they had any lumpia's today since I didn't see them in the food trays. The lady said they make them to order, so I decided to wait an extra 10 minutes so they could fry some up. Exactly 9 minutes later, the lady came from the back with a to go container filled to the top with hot, small lumpia rolls. Evidently 21 lumpia's come in a single order! Bonus!! I had some to share with the wife and kid. I paid for my order, and snuck a piece of lumpia into my face hole while walking out the door. I burned my tongue, but the pain was worth it. They were pretty good, and super crispy! When I got into my truck, I tried a piece of the bbq pork on the skewer. Holy crap it was good. The meat was nicely charred but tender, and the marinade was outstanding! I immediately went back into the store and bought 5 more. Of course I bought too much food, but it was totally worth it. I'll be back next week, and Pinoy Fusion is now on my restaurant rotation list. Check out the pics-

    Located in the back area of the Asian grocery store, Phil-oriental Foods, the Pinoy Fusion…read morepoint-point restaurant serves up some classic Filipino food in humble surroundings. My wife and I made a conscious effort to stop-in for a late lunch, taking the light rail from downtown Minneapolis. The food was quite good with friendly service. There is no signage for the restaurant outside, so have to trust Maps and go inside the grocery store. Towards the back against the back wall, is the restaurant, with a few tables/chairs for eating in. Everything is packaged for takeout, and there is no table service. It's very similar to how bigger filipino grocery stores in Cali have a section dedicated to hot meals, with prepared food to be scooped up. It is only open during the weekend during lunch hours, with the current menu posted on their Facebook page. They did have unexpected items (like fried smelt) on the menu, that I wanted to try, but was told it wasn't available. Thus, ended up getting a two choice plate combo for $10, with white rice, one pork BBQ stick and beef mechado. Both were very good, with the pork stick being mostly shoulder meat (little fat), and the mechado having very tender beef, with very little gristle. Both went great with the rice, and my wife and I happily shared. With this good experience, we decided to get 8 BBQ sticks ($30 total) to bring to a dinner hosted at a friend's house that same night. This amount exceeded what was already available, so the nice server let us know it would be 10-15 minutes. We figured it would even be better if freshly made, so had no problem waiting for it. Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as good, with the pieces having a lot of gristle and not as much of the charred goodness that the original sticks had. Guess one has to eat it for dine-in to get the full effect.
