Sushi combo. Fish comes fresh from Japan once a week.
Diana H.

Came here for dinner tonight with a group of 6 and had a reservation. The staff was very kind and attentive. Ordered the following: Pork soup dumplings- delicious juicy good portions (6 pieces per basket) Pork pan fried bao- delicious juicy as well 4 pieces) Kung pao Brussels- very saucy but still good. Always like peanuts with my veggies Sushi combo- beautiful presentation with fresh fish Lo mein chicken- had a bite as this was a take home for the kids but pretty standard noodle dish with sweet sauce hopefully the kids will eat it tomorrow lol Crispy rice with tuna- not too spicy, a little too much on the rice but overall good. Located in a shopping plaza, from the outside it looks closed because it's totally dark but it's open! Easy free parking right in front. As a native Los Angeles girl coming to PA to see my husband's family, I was thrilled that his friend took us here! The best Asian food I've had since I've been coming here 13 years ago. We will definitely be back!

My second time here and I am delighted to see the improvements in their menu and cooking. I brought my mother here and she enjoyed small bites of dim sum dumplings (Sui mai and shrimp dumplings). The owner recommended to me the seafood in a flower basket in XO sauce. I was truly delicious and not overly seasoned or sauced. Seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. Bartender made me a perfect 50/50 Grey Goose martini. Highly recommend and we will be back!

100% yes. Food is delicious. The menu isn't huge, but it covers a lot of different types. Seafood lovers, meat eaters or vegetarians... there is something for each. Service was quick and friendly. Was seated at a high top and the tables are definitely tiny which I think was the only complaint. Will definitely be back for another visit soon!

Awsome presentation! Scallops, United, Salmon Roll, Live Scallops.

Great service and sushi! I was in thr area on business and this was near where I was staying. They were very patient since I was on several phone calls and was there for 2 1/2 hours. Sushi presentation was beautiful and it was fresh.

We had amazing time recently at Freshido! We went on a Friday night, there was a DJ, it was such a great vibe. Good music, but not too loud. We tried a few signature cocktails that were all delicious. The crispy rice appetizer was a must try. Highly impressed and definitely will be back!!

This looks nothing like the picture they promote and show. It was sweet and really fishy. Presentation horrible. Food was alright

Service was awful. My family and I went on a "soft opening" Saturday night. There were 2 other tables occupied in our waitress' section while we were there. The 6 other tables were EMPTY.. I got a lot of blowback from my Google review so the wait staff probably got the memo so now y'all will get better service! The waitress seemed to go out of her way to assist all the other tables except for us as if they were critics for NY Times. The chef even came out to show them their food and not us! The only difference between them and us was that they were white. My husband is black and I'm Asian. We didn't even get refills of water until I had to beg for it at the end of the meal. I was parched. I was testing her to see if she would notice our empty glasses and 20 minutes passed! This 40 yo woman nor the chef checked up on us at all to see how our food was. She only came at the end because she saw my husband didn't eat his food & she had to get him a container. Geez! Rule #1 in waitressing - get diners their liquid. Besides the awful service my husband's Chicken Basil was a coagulated glob of gunk. My salad and sushi were actually good. However, based on the service I will never return to this restaurant again. Tough luck, Freshido, you ain't getting any of my dough during Trump's Recession. As you can see from my reviews here and on Google, I eat out a lot. My money is going to Bangkok 56 & Greystone instead. I will spend thousands over there instead of here. This place and Cafe Fresco are blah. I need to move back to DC.

If you think quick-service when you hear "Freshido," this is not that. Freshido Bar & Kitchen is the Freshido Fancy: a full bar, tableside service, an elevated menu, and a relaxing ambiance. (Be sure to look up and check out the upside down crates filled with cascading plants hanging from the ceiling.) I stopped by, planning to order a bowl and go, but ended up dining in and enjoying some sushi and bao. The pork bao were savory and light, if not under-filled--there was a lot of air space inside the bao. The dipping sauce was lovely and complemented the bao well. The sushi rolls (cooked fish only) were nothing extraordinary but they were tasty and present in a visually appealing way. (The giant plume of lettuce coming from the end piece of the shrimp tempura was a bit silly, but it certainly added drama to the look of the dish.) I'm excited to return and try the XLB (soup dumplings) and some of the salmon and tuna sushi. Plus, it looks like they've got a pretty solid happy hour, which I'm hoping to try in the future.

The blonde hostess with short hair did not honor our reservation and instead prioritized the waitlist. We never requested to cancel our reservation; we went to the bar to wait. While at the bar, I received an email stating that our reservation had been canceled by the restaurant. As frequent customers of Freshido, this experience was extremely disappointing.

Pleasant service, very tasty food! My sister and I visited on the later side on a Thuraday evening and just got a few plates to share. The menu has a variety of Asian fusion dishes with a variety of price points. We enjoyed our California, Shrimp Tempura, and pork bao. It looks like they offer a daily happy hour (although we werent there for that) and weekly specials. (My only note is that we originally thought we were headed to a quick casual restaurant, like the Freshido in Hershye on Chocolate Ave. We were very happy with our overall experience-- just confused at first!)

Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the fresh and flavorful food, especially sushi and signature dishes, along with a lively and modern atmosphere. The friendly and attentive staff also stand out.

My wife and I had dinner at 1794 The Whiskey Rebellion while we were in Carlisle for Corvettes at…read moreCarlisle. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. I started with a 1794 Old Fashioned, which was good enough that I had a second one with dinner. My wife had a Pinot Noir. I had originally planned on ordering the 14 oz. bone-in ribeye, but after seeing that prime rib was offered as a Friday and Saturday special, I decided to try the Molly Pitcher English-cut prime rib prepared 1794 style with the extra grilling. Unfortunately, about five minutes after ordering, I was told they had sold out. I went back to my original choice of the ribeye, ordered medium rare, with Yukon Smash and the seasonal vegetable, which that evening was corn on the cob. The ribeye was tender and flavorful and cooked the way I wanted it. My wife had the chicken pot pie and enjoyed it, although she thought it could have used a little more butter. Desserts are presented verbally rather than on a printed menu. I had the bourbon apple blondie while my wife chose the skillet cookie, which was topped with ice cream and chocolate drizzle. Both were very good. The restaurant is located inside the Comfort Inn and literally occupies the same space where the hotel's breakfast is served each morning. From our table I could even see the small refrigerator used for the breakfast yogurts, so the setting doesn't provide quite the same atmosphere as a standalone restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and I would consider returning when we're back for Corvettes at Carlisle next year. I'd probably make an earlier reservation next time so I could finally try the prime rib.

The menu has great options to pick from, and our service was nice and attentive. Most of the table had some of the steak options, from the filets to the medallions and then to the pot pie variation. The mashed potatoes were delicious - great flavor and taste. I'm not even a gravy fan but I wanted more. The steaks were cooked to our liking and flavored well. Would return for a nice dinner again!

Apparently we hadn't spent nearly enough time adventuring in Lancaster this year! But when a beautiful mid-October Saturday evening found us wrapping up a full day of Lancaster adventures, we decided it was FINALLY time to put that gift card to work. I'd checked out the menu beforehand and noticed it was fairly small, but there were several things I would've been happy to try. We found a parking lot directly across the street with plenty of available spaces, then walked over to the modestly marked building and entered through an open garage door. Inside, a sign welcomed us and instructed guests to order food and drinks at the bar. There were about ten people at the bar and nobody at the handful of surrounding tables, so we claimed a high-top toward the back where we could take everything in. Adventure Buddy ordered his usual Old Fashioned ($14), while I decided to step outside my comfort zone with a Grape Transfusion Vodka Seltzer ($7). I'm not usually a vodka seltzer girl, but CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. And I'm glad I did because it was REALLY good! Adventure Buddy was equally pleased with his Old Fashioned, especially because it was made with rye instead of bourbon. We were off to a fantastic start! For dinner, we decided to split two dishes: Dutch Fritters ($14), made with hot sausage, ground beef, sauerkraut and onions, breaded and fried with mustard and tzatziki, and the Blackened Shrimp Salad ($18), featuring mixed greens, vegetables, goat cheese, blackened shrimp and house pineapple vinaigrette. While we waited, I discovered one of my favorite things about Thistle Finch. THE OPEN KITCHEN. We could see the cook preparing our food from our table, and I was genuinely impressed by the attention and care he put into everything. Watching him carefully plate each dish with precision and pride was such a refreshing experience. It wasn't just food being thrown onto plates and sent out the door. He was clearly putting his heart into the presentation, and I loved getting to witness that. When our food arrived, it looked BEAUTIFUL! The Dutch Fritters were larger than I expected and absolutely delicious. The hot sausage and sauerkraut were the stars of the show, and although the tzatziki was a little more cucumber-forward than I personally prefer, everything worked together nicely. Then there was the Blackened Shrimp Salad. OH. LAWD! There were approximately six to eight LARGE blackened shrimp perched on top of a beautiful bed of greens. I meant to count them, but apparently my appetite had other priorities. And that house pineapple vinaigrette?! HELLO! It started with a wonderful burst of pineapple flavor before finishing with a surprisingly strong vinegar kick. Sweet up front, tangy in the back, and somehow exactly what the salad needed. I loved it! Between the cocktails, fritters and salad, our total came to around $60. Thanks to Adventure Buddy's Christmas gift card, most of that was already covered, making our Saturday evening dinner an especially affordable little adventure. What stood out to me most about Thistle Finch was the combination of a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, genuinely good food and the care that went into preparing it. The menu may not be enormous, but everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. PRO TIP: If you're visiting for the first time, remember that you order at the bar rather than waiting for someone to come to your table. And if the kitchen is open while you're there, grab a seat where you can watch the magic happen! Would I return? Absolutely! If we find ourselves back in Lancaster looking for an easy, enjoyable dinner and a good cocktail, Thistle Finch will definitely be in the running. And apparently the secret to finally using a Christmas gift card is simply waiting until you've almost made it to NEXT Christmas. Better late than never!

B I G Vibe Small Bar Bit Noisy…read more We stopped in Local Whiskey during our stay in lovely State College PA. Our local friends recommended the sister bar/restaurants (Local Whiskey and Central Reservation) and we were glad they did. We enjoyed delicious craft cocktails professionally made by the bar staff and enjoyed a delicious Strawberry salad. Bar had pos decor with great tile work - we felt like we were in NYC. We had a great happy hour at Local Whiskey because the staff was polite and professional. We did find the decibel level in the bar extreme. My wife's smart watch gave her (a first ever) decibel warning. Unfortunately it was so loud she and I could not have a conversation so we left.

I don't drink alcohol so I can't speak to their bar or other food. 5/5 Food: where to start with the burger- its thick patty has a great crisp outside and medium inside and is graced by nicely cooked bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a proper amount of sauce. The fries are classic, semi mush-semi crisp fries with coarse grained salt. The meal with a delicious burger that outdoes any other I've had in state college, even those that cost close to $20. Walking out the door, the meal (fries, burger, drink) cost 8.05, and I was happy to leave a larger than 20% tip to make it $10 even. I challenge you to find a better burger in state college, regardless of price. Honestly, my MBA-trained senses obsessed over what their business model might be and I'm hoping that it was providing enough for the owners and staff. 3.5/5 Service: Friendly. It was really busy when we were there and it was a tad slow, but we also had a group that came in at different times. 4/5 Ambiance: nice-ish college bar inside, clean bathrooms. Only complaint is that the booth table was too tall for the chairs, I felt like I would have been better suited to kneel to eat my burger than sit (I had one friend who did kneel to meet the height of the table) Tl;DR Excellent burger; confusingly great value.

It was around noon on a Wednesday. We were greeted by an amazing bartender named Shayne. This time of day you can sit anywhere and he brought us cocktail and food menus. My wife still working for an unsweetened iced tea and I (not working) ordered a troegs IPA. The beer and cocktail menu is abundant and it it wasn't noon midweek we probably would have ordered from it. The food menu is nice and short. They offer great food specials (today was half priced tacos). She ordered a cubano with sweet potato fries. I ordered a pigs in zen sandwich with easily the best steak fries ever made. The menu said it's all locally sourced food and made in house from scratch. These sandwiches proved it. The pigs in zen sandwich is overly stuffed with pork for $12 and the coleslaw is definitely house made with a great taste and crunch. Her cubano? She couldn't stop raving about it. We both brought a half a half sandwich home. FYI the fries are a $4 add on and totally worth it. $16 for a huge pulled pork sandwich with a ton of fries? I'm sold. There is a lot of other food on the menu, but we were just in for lunch. It's a must visit. They will also let you try the beers on tap because they are seasonal.
