My…read morefavorites are the fried rice and the lomo saltado both are consistently good and definitely what I keep coming back for. If you go late at night like I do, the ambience is really quiet and chill, which I actually like. It's a nice low-key spot to grab food without the usual crowd, and the food usually comes out pretty fast. Also, you have to try the popcorn chicken it's really good and worth adding to your order. Service is average, but it makes sense since there's usually only one person working at night. If it gets busy, there might be a bit of a wait, but it's understandable. Overall, a solid late-night food spot with good portions, fast service, and a chill vibe

Overall pretty good!…read more I came here with my family so I had a very large party. I was lucky to receive my dish pretty quickly, but some of the other people in my party had to wait quite a bit. But I think the staff were working as fast as they could so ultimately, i think service was fine. I tried the lomo saltado with beef, fries and garlic noodles. Overall tasted great. The fries still managed to have a crispy texture and had a sweet and savory sauce flavor to them. The beef cubes were tender and cooked just right. The noodles were fine as well. I liked that the noodles werent too heavy. The portion size is very large though, i was very full by the end of it. The green milk tea was good too. The milk, sugar, and tea ratios were all balanced and the flavor was subtle. It had an interesting flavor that reminded me of grass jelly and milk, but in a good way.

Because we come here so often that the staff could treat us more casually, but because of the true Japanese hospitality and professionalism, we are treated with great respect and appreciation that we come to support their small business. We have eaten here and have been coming here since the pandemic and I honestly can say that we have never had a bad experience here. The food is definitely the number one reason we come here, but the service and vibe are also strong reasons to we continue to return here. Also, I don't think I've had anything here that I did not like. Instead of suggesting one item that is a must try, the Omakase Meal is the must try. Whether you are a group of two or more, I personally think the best value on the menu is their Omakase. Depending on how big your party is, depends on how many courses you get. It's great way to try several dishes in one sitting. If you're usually too full to order dessert, you better make room because it is part of the Omakase. I will not guarantee that you will love everything as I do, but if you are a food lover like me, you will appreciate the authenticity of the flavors.

I grew up in an area with a strong Japanese culture, so I used to eat this type of food pretty regularly. Now I only get to have it maybe once a year when I visit home, so I was excited to find a place that offered it! We ordered the scallop risotto, spinach & uni pasta, crispy tofu, and Chinese chicken salad. Overall, everything was decent, but nothing really blew me away. The scallop risotto was creamy and pretty heavy, with a little too much salt for my taste. The spinach & uni pasta was good, but there was no actual uni--just pasta, spinach, and what seemed like a uni cream sauce. I was expecting some actual uni based on the name. The dishes were all okay and worth trying if you're craving something somewhere between Japanese and Italian, but I wouldn't say they were particularly memorable. The service, though, was great--friendly and fast--and the restaurant has a cozy, pleasant atmosphere. Glad I tried it, especially for the nostalgia factor, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone.

I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

I enjoyed the grilled chicken (3/5) as it was flavorful and their sauces paird nicely, but it wasn't memorable. The hainan chicken was so bad (1/5): the meat was chewy (but not in a good, free-range kind of way) and the skin was falling apart; the rice was incredibly dry and bland. I'd say this was the worst hainan chicken I've ever had. The crisy rice (1/5): the same rice was used for this dish. They just packed a big lump of it and fried it on both sides. So no, it wasn't good either. Servers were polite and friendly, so that's a positive. Also, they charge 3% credit card fee.

And the Thai tea? Amazing. It was a little on the sweeter side, but still really good. I usually get Thai tea with boba, but even without it, this one definitely hit the spot. Great food, friendly service, and I'll definitely be back!

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!

The lights weren't on and no one was home. I've lost count of the amount of times i've nursed myself back to health on a Sunday after a night of heavy bag ripping with a chicken pad Thai, ribeye pho and intermittent wanking. I will be forever grateful that i went there recently for one last dance. Had i known it would be the last time i would ever eat there i would've savored the experience even more than i did at the time. I may even have tipped.

When it's…read moreafter 9pm in the area, there usually aren't very many options besides fast food, so I'm glad that you can get some good late night food here! They're open until 12:15am every day! For starters, we got their Chile-Lime Cauliflower, and it is so good! The chile-lime vinaigrette is really what makes it! I have never enjoyed cauliflower so much! I only wish they would cut the cauliflower into slightly smaller pieces so it's a little easier to eat. But other than that, highly recommend this dish! I wanted something warm and comforting, so I got their Ribeye Pho. It comes in a pretty big bowl with tenderized sliced ribeye steak, noodles, and all of the pho fixings. Will be back to try some of their other Asian fusion dishes!

My friend and I wanted to check out this place for a while, so we decided to go together. We were quickly greeted and allowed to choose any available table to sit at. It seemed like it was one of the slower days (understandable since it was triple digits weather outside). Upon searing, we were shortly offered water and what seemed liked a creamy corn soup. It was tasty. The servers were very friendly, and they cane by regularly to check on us. My friend ordered a few nigiri's for herself, but I wanted to check out the rising sun combo. The presentation was pretty amazing. The fish tasted good too, no fishy smell whatsoever, and I thought the tuna was almost translucent and quite pretty to look at. Personally. my favorite was the salmon with the bright citrus garnish. Very yummy. Other than that, I also ordered myself an apple chu-hi and thought it was very refreshing and quite easy going down. I really liked that. Their menu is extensive though, so I'll have to come back and check out the others that caught my eye :)

It tasted more bitter. The server did add more cream to sweeten it, which helped, but overall, I did not enjoy their Thai tea. I had the beef salad and updated to the ribeye meat option as the beef is supposed to be more tender. However, the meat didn't taste "more tender". The beef salad was also salty. We also had the tom yum noodle soup and larb salad. Upon looking at the larb salad, you can already tell that it was going to be salty, as other larb salad is not usually that saucy. And sure enough, the larb salad was salty, as well as the tom yum noodle soup. Restaurant itself was relatively small, it had simple decor, parking was easy, and staff were attentive and the overall prices were reasonable. However, the food was way too salty, making it difficult to even finish the meal.

I like xiao long bao in general, so it was a surprise to see a restaurant so close to where I live that had a very well-made one. In addition I also tried out their Dan Dan Noodles which is spicy with sichuan peppers, but they make everything mild enough that the sichuan is more like "a hint of" than actually strong, in your face sichuan. Appreciated that level of mildness without sacrificing taste. It was also convenient they have a milk tea menu so we didn't have to go somewhere else afterwards for milk tea. The venue itself is pretty large but the seating is a little cramped, but nothing super uncomfortable or anything. I wend on a Sunday evening and our wait time was only 5 minutes, but most other times it's empty unless it's a Saturday. I would come back here for a weekday one-off meal for sure if I'm nearby and craving for xiao long bao again!
