Positives: clean , fast service , nice feel restaurant , size portion , delicious French fries…read more Negative: prices and flavor ! The entrees without anything added to it like fries , sides , sauces etc are flirting with almost $20 . I ordered the lamb gyro , sure , it's huge but it's super bland . If it isn't for the sauce , it would have been the worst gyro I have ever tasted . The meat is the frozen lamb meat you buy at places like Restaurant Depot in bulk . Bland , dry , tasteless . Pita bread was okay Conclusion: for the prices they're charging , meat should be cooked fresh , you can literally get a better / same gyro in the frozen section of a Safeway for $4-$5 , even Arby's gyro is better and cheaper because their sauce is tastier at half the price . Lamb gyro is a STAPLE at any Mediterranean grill , 90% of people will order it first and if this is how you deliver a first impression , it looks bad for the rest of the menu

I was kind of…read moreput off by them years ago because I had placed an app order and went to the drivethru where they said they didn't have my order and were very rude. I tried to show her the order but she refused to look (and it was definitely the right location). She just said she didn't see it on her end and didn't want to help us at all. I wanted to know what to do but I was threatened to leave or they'd call the cops. I absolutely told them to call the cops but of course they didn't and when she wouldn't tell me how to get my money back if the transaction went through I left. She was yelling and I had to do a chargeback for the order because of course they had it. So yeah, don't really want to give them my money. But we were across the street and wanted to grab something fast (gas station had shut down hot food before 9pm that night). That's how desperate we were. So bought the limited time McRib and nuggets. Sandwich is just too overpriced and honestly, Stouffers has a rib entree that is exactly the same meat and sauce as a McRib. So you can easily make a bunch at home for the same price. No good deals and they're options aren't very enticing. So I'll be avoiding them for the foreseeable future.

Came here for Dumpling Week. Got the momo combo with pork (steamed, deep fried, and chili). I've…read morehad momos from other places and this is by far the best I've had. They were moist and not overly dense. The chili momos were my favorite as the chili sauce reminds me of chili crab sauce from Singapore. I also tried the egg rolls and Nepali curry. The egg rolls are the ones I am used to back on the East Coast. It is not the typical spring roll that places call egg rolls, these are made with a bigger wrapper. The curry was a pleasant surprise. Not sure how to describe it but it was definitely a 9/10. Will be coming back to try the banh mi in the future.

The bread was soft instead of having that light, crisp baguette texture you'd expect. The pickled vegetables were inconsististently pickled, some tasted more like raw vegetables, and the sandwich included a pickled cucumber, which was unexpected for a traditional bánh mì. The braised beef itself wasn't bad, but the sauce tasted like something from a bottle and leaned very sweet. And the biggest disappointment: when I first opened the sandwich and took it apart, I found a hair right in the middle. The staff were nice and the food came out quickly. You also get a shot glass of hot chai which was nice!
