I will be coming back very often. I am so happy I tried this place. The food was AMAZING and for a really good price. The sushi was fresh and good priced.

As a Vietnamese person, and someone who used to work at a pho shop -- plus my family owned a…read morebusiness -- I understand how hard and difficult it is to open and run a restaurant here as an immigrant. Because of that, I usually don't write bad reviews. But I'm writing this because I genuinely want the owner to read it and understand. I love my culture and our food, and everywhere I go I always try Vietnamese restaurants. I chose this place because it looked like a mom-and-pop shop, and I really like supporting local businesses. We dined in during lunchtime, and it wasn't very busy, so we got seated right away. We ordered: - Rice with Grilled Beef: it tasted good and the portion was decent. We added a fried egg on top for $2.45. Everything was okay, but the color of the pickled vegetables didn't look fresh to me. - Vermicelli with Grilled Shrimp, Pork, and Egg Rolls: also a decent bowl, no big complaints. But I asked for no bean sprouts, the server repeated it to confirm, and it still came out with bean sprouts. Now here's the part that really disappointed me. Everywhere I've been, when you order a rice plate, it usually comes with a small side of soup. This place didn't, so we decided to order one. I knew we would be charged for it, and that's fine. But $8 for a small bowl of beef broth -- barely around 4 oz -- is honestly outrageous. I understand pho broth takes a lot of time, effort, ingredients, and experience. I respect that. But this? This didn't feel reasonable at all. I'm not expecting anything to be given for free just because I'm Vietnamese and I speak Vietnamese when I order. Even if they offered, I wouldn't take it. That's not the point. The point is, I felt really disappointed -- because this is my own people, and it made me feel like I got taken advantage of by my own people. I'm speaking up like this not to bash a small business, but because I want them to understand: every dollar customers spend is money they work hard for. You shouldn't take advantage of that or use excuses to raise prices like this. And what made it worse is that I've heard from locals who've been there and personally know the owner that "they only do that to people from out of town." That honestly made me even more upset. You might make extra money from one visit, but you lose trust permanently.

They have a nice selection of frozen entrees, sides, and soups, which come in handy for those busy nights or for entertaining a large party. Cakes can be pre-ordered for special occasions.

It's a small and cozy Mexican grocery store that also serves food. We used to live in Houston, so…read morewhen I first walked in, it honestly gave me a little bit of that Houston feeling. We decided to come back another day to actually dine in and try the food. There was a lady in the dining area was the server, but it seemed like she couldn't really speak English, so we ended up waiting for a while for the guy at the cashier to come take our order. The price is definitely on the pricier side. I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but for what we ordered, I felt like the portions were pretty small for the price. My husband got 2 fajitas and 2 lengua tacos, while I got the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. My fajitas were decent, and I'll give them that for having fresh vegetables, but the meat was cut into such small pieces that it kind of felt like scraps. We're not Mexican, so I can't really speak on how authentic it is, but my husband's friends actually stopped by right after us, tried the food, and said pretty much the same thing! I actually love the grocery store itself. It's small but has SO much stuff, including things you wouldn't expect, and their fresh products are great. The only other thing I didn't really like was the checkout situation. Nobody came by to check on us when we were done eating, so we had to wait in the regular grocery checkout line to pay. Since we weren't holding any groceries, a bunch of people kept cutting in front of us without asking. I really hope they can improve this part because it was pretty frustrating. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for Mexican groceries. The food was good, but I don't think I'd come back specifically to dine in.

We've never been anything less than fully satisfied and inspired. But, what spurred me to write this review was the "double doozie" I received and consumed yesterday. I feel like I have the adequate experience on this subject to say that the specimen I received last night unseated all previous samplings from other establishments. The moment it touched my lips, I worried that the cookie was too hard but to my delight the crunch was only a thin layer that quickly gave way to delicious goodness that was generously loaded with the finest chocolate hunks. But all this gloriousness soon became a footnote to the silky smooth icing sandwiched between the two chocolate chip cookies. The icing is unrivaled among the many attempts at a double doozie. Free of the granular sugary texture that only causes guilt and never enhances the experience, this collaboration of cookie and icing is not to be shared. They are large enough for two but so tasty you better forget about any ideas of sharing. There is only heart ache and confrontation to be had down that road. A certain chain cookie company who coined the term and will here remain unnamed in this review was only hinting at what could be when they began to offer their "double doozie." All these years I just did not realize what was possible. Satisfied all these years with the mere elementary offering of so many bakeries. I almost regret having experienced the refined simplicity of the Uptown Downtown "Double Doozie." From this point forward, this guilty pleasure can only be fulfilled here. My heart belongs to you Uptown Downtown. Until we meet again.

Today we ordered the egg roll in a bowl with the kale salad. The entree could have been hotter temperature wise. Flavor was good but not really special or interesting. Today more than a few bites of my kale salad seemed to have dirt in them, which was a first and not pleasant. Staff were friendly. Love the local artwork on the walls. Would still eat here again but have had better experiences here in the past for sure.

Today I opted for the chicken with artichoke and spinach with a side of roasted potatoes and bok choy. The portion size is definitely suitable for one and possibly even two.

They also have a store front with many pasture raised, vegan, vegetarian, and organic food options. Off to the side, they had a dining area if you want to sit and enjoy your meal; I opted to take mine to go. Don't skip out or miss out on this jewel in our downtown Alley area of West Monroe.
