    Half eaten giant bowl of jajangmyun
    Elizabeth L.

    We were visiting Scott's Valley, and we stumbled upon a great Asian fusion restaurant! If you're craving sushi or Korean comfort foods, this is the place to go! The jajangmyun is in a giant bowl, which will definitely fill you up! The sushi is fresh as well! Next time if we are in the area, we will definitely be back!

    Excellent, high quality food at reasonable prices. The Box Specials are an especially good value. Very attentive serving staff as well. Clean and brightly lit space with pop music in background. Recommend'

    This is a fairly new place with an awesome Korean owner. I was able to speak with him and he's very passionate about the dishes that he makes, and it shows. I've been here about three times already and the quality is on par with the Korean restaurants over the hill. It's hard to find good pho and Korean food on this side of the hill. He doesn't serve pho but just saying, it's limited here and not very good. I really hope he does good as this particular spot, the turnover rate is very high. The restaurant is huge so I can only imagine how expensive the lease is here. The interior is very inviting, clean, spacious and spread out perfectly for intimate and larger party settings. Parking is plentiful as it's shared but a lot of other businesses like a locally owned supermarket, pizza and Mexican restaurant too. I'll definitely be back as it's not too far from home. I highly recommend this spot. It's definitely a must try if you're hungry and headed home from a long day at the beach or for the locals, if you want some quality food.

    The new spot in Scotts Valley! They have a great fusion of asian flavors that include Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. They have a sushi bar that is solid but you can also get some traditional and not so traditional Korean creations. My first visit tonight was awesome. I'll just start with why they lost the star. It was a hot July day and they were serving Soju that was almost cold and my water was refilled with warm water! Get the ice working and you have a winner! We started with 3 appetizers. The spicy edamame was awesome! Just spicy enough and loaded with flavor, a must try! The agedashi tofu was textbook, check out my video to see the dashi flakes wiggling from the hot broth's steam, yum! And my wife got the crab soup which (with a little salt) was delicious! For entrees I got the Bentley Maki and my wife got a dinner Bento Box. The Bentley was super good, the size looked intimidating to try to fit in my mouth but the thin slice was just right. A flavor explosion, yum! Her Bento was with the Scotts Valley Maki and Sweet & Sour Beef. I tried both and they were awesome, the S&S Beef was a great fusion example, try it! Overall the experience was nice, we walked out a bit overheated from the spice and warm beverages but quite satisfied. The prices are on the high side so we likely won't be here all the time but we will definitely be back. Give'em a try!

    Great lunch spot. I was surprised that it wasn't crowded. There is plenty of space. They have a robot to wheel out the food. We ordered a bento box and a bibimbap. Healthy serving. The fifth star would have been given if the service was just a little bit faster. But overall more to try so I'll likely be back.

    Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Happy hour is always good. Love to revisit again. They have Korean jajangmyun with handmade noodles. It is delicious! I usually come on the weekend and I always enjoy it.

    Jo and I have visited Far East + Kitchen a couple of times already usually to take advantage of 30% off all sushi rolls which are great (love the J's Maki roll). This visit we tried the Spicy Squid which we enjoyed through and through. The flavors were just right, it is a spicy meal but the type of spice is one that builds the more you eat. Yet, each bite is full of flavor and i find it delightful. Service was good and the restaurant has a quiet energy to it. Should be way more packed than it is. will keep coming back

    We were meeting some friends who live in the area and chose this spot based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing visit and the service was terrible. We walked in and watched the staff walk by us multiple times without acknowledging us for a long time. Finally, the sushi chef who saw us just standing there for a while came around and apologetically asked us to grab a table. Then it took forever to get someone over to the table to get our drinks order which took a super long time to come out. Then it took forever to get someone to take our food order. At that point, all of us were fed up and were ready to leave. The food was just OK and would have tasted better if the service was even slightly better. Pass.

    First time here, and my wife and I loved it. We had the Kao Soy (which they offer, but it isn't on…read morethe menu), Tom Kha with chicken, and a Larb salad with chicken. All 3 dishes were fantastic, and we still had leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Service was very friendly and attentive.

    Kao Sook Thai Cuisine in Scotts Valley had a really rough night for takeout, with service issues…read moreovershadowing the food. Arrived at 5:25 PM on a Tuesday night with no tables available upon arrival, so we opted ordered takeout: pad see ewe, pumpkin curry, and fresh spring rolls. Rica took the order, estimating 20-25 minutes; we left at 5:46 PM and returned at 6:07 PM. Phnom asked for my name to check on our food at 6:12pm but never got back to us. Checking in again at 6:23 PM, Rica said the noodles and curry were ready, just waiting on spring rolls. At 6:40 PM, I asked Phnom to just cancel the rolls and refund the tip. He gave a receipt saying it was removed, but no, only the spring rolls had been removed, the tip was still there. (Why did I tip on takeout before receiving my food?) Going back led to confusion, with manager Mo first accusing non-payment despite Rica confirming the original order from over an hour earlier. Phnom had refunded the full bill by accident; Mo apologized, comped the two mains, and said no need to repay. Never got the spring rolls. Key Strengths: - Mo stepped up with accountability. Areas for Improvement: - Walk-in takeout took over 75 minutes while dine-in got priority. - Fix tip refunds and accuracy, other reviews mention similar slips. - Improve communication between staff and kitchen on apps like spring rolls. - Train staff like Phnom and Rica to actually service customers rather than repeating sorry and giving a fake smile while not doing anything. Recommendation: Try Thai Heart nearby instead.

    The best Chinese spot on this side of the hill! If you live…read morein Aptos or anywhere in Santa Cruz County, you need to check out Four Streams Kitchen. I've been looking for a solid go-to Chinese takeout spot for a while, and this place absolutely knocks it out of the park. Do yourself a favor and order the Szechuan Boiled Fish (Sichuan Shui Zhu Yu). It is insanely flavorful, perfectly spicy, and easily one of the most legit, authentic Chinese dishes I've had in the area. If you prefer the classic American-Chinese comfort staples, those hit the spot too. The Kung Pao has the perfect balance, the potstickers taste completely house-made, and my family is obsessed with their chow mein.  The ingredients are always fresh (especially the veggies and seafood, try the fried prawns!), and the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. Great portions, amazing value (especially the lunch combos).

    I would give this 3 1/2 stars. It was the first time ordering last night through DoorDash. First, I…read morewill say that in the Aptos area this is far better than anything in this town, and way better than Panda Inn. I probably should have just picked up the order because $80 for Chinese food for two people is a bit steep and honestly ridiculous. The first negative thing is the fact that we ordered pork fried rice and ended up getting the fried rice but with chicken instead so OK, edible, but there is something about pork fried rice that I really like so that was disappointing. Also ordered their vegetable green bean with garlic sauce dish, and the green beans were cooked nicely although a side order of green beans for $16? Yes, I made the decision to order simply because I wanted a veggie with the rest of the meal. I ordered a chicken breast dish that was coated in some sort of a Panko-ish crunch. That was good although I wasn't expecting it to be fried. When you're hungry, you just eat it anyway... Truth. also had the potstickers which were typical nothing special, although they did serve it with some sort of a hot pepper sauce, which was good although the seeds in it were quite tough. They also pack a little container of what looked like white vinegar weird not at all like what you would normally have. We will probably try again as we explore the menu, but I will definitely pick up next time. Oh and finally with an order that clearly served two people they throw in one fortune cookie. How cheap is that? Jury is still majorly out on this place, but just wanted to share for now.
