So, after living practically next door to Kathy's Deli for two years, we finally decided to check it out, and wow, were we missing out or what! The place might look small, but it surprised us with a big round table that easily fit our trio, though it looked like it could handle a party of six without breaking a sweat. We went all out with the menu - Beef Pho, Philly Cheese Steak, Fries, and Cheese Rangoon. We shared everything family-style, getting a taste of it all, and honestly, every bite was bang for our buck. The Pho was a massive hit (seriously, even the kiddo was slurping up those noodles), and everything else was just spot on in flavor. They've got this fridge filled with Pepsi products that you can just grab from, which added to the chill vibe of the place. Noticed a bunch of DoorDash folks coming in and out too, so it's not just us thinking this place rocks. Long story short, Kathy's Deli is this awesome hidden spot that's all about great food without the hefty price tag, perfect for families or anyone really looking to share a meal. Don't be like us and wait forever to try it out. We're already planning our next visit back! read more

Called ahead of time to see if they had vegetarian Pho for my daughter who had been begging me for weeks to take her for her first time to get Pho and they said they did have it. Drove 20 minutes to get there and they then said it wasn't vegetarian... daughter was in tears the whole way home! Thanks Kathy's! read more

I'm glad to have found a restaurant that sells amazing and authentic Hmong food. The kapoon was rich with coconut flavor and the noodle soup broth packed so much flavor. I like how they provide condiments on the tables to add to your dishes. The fresh dried red chili flakes definitely made my noodle soup spicy which I enjoyed. My girlfriend had the Thai Tea and said it had great flavor and wasn't too sweet which was nice. I ordered the Lao Papaya salad and pepper sauce to-go to have when I got home. The papaya salad and pepper sauce went well with my pork rinds and chicken I had at home. Will definitely be returning! Thanks again!

The egg rolls were HUGE which was a plus but they were SUPER greasy. I thought Medium Plus would be spicy but it did not prepare me for what I got. Each noodle was COATED and I mean COATED in chili pepper flakes, stacked on top of one another, and I felt so bad because while I feel like I can usually take spice, it definitely made it hard to eat. I think because of that, the flavor was very hard to find underneath the pure spice. I also wasnt a big fan of the noodle texture, although I doubt that is their fault. I think if I come back to Mekkala, I will order a lower spice and maybe just get something else.

I've been frequenting this restaurant since they've opened, and they never miss. I've not reviewed…read morethem previously simply because I'm stingy & they're busy enough. Tonight though, the food was next level. To set the scene, the line was out the door when I arrived, but they were flying through customers. I had thankfully placed an online order & saw it ready & waiting for me. My patience was also at a miraculous high. Blessings for all. My husband got the chicken combo plate, and he has a full meals worth of food left over for tomorrow, which is thankfully typical here. In this economy?? Yes please. The katsu was so juicy and crunchy, the bbq chicken was equally tender with a good char in places. I got a poke bowl, and I swear to god in heaven the girl who made this bowl was placed on this earth to bless my dinner tonight. I need also to go back and get her skin care routine. We ordered extra sauce and they literally 3x what we paid for. ETA for the online order was 15 mins, I walked in after 14 & my food was ready. They easily has 10 tickets they were actively working through, and as stated a line out the door. The food was impeccable. Biggest shout outs to the kitchen, those guys can cook some fantastic chicken & rice. Another round of applause for the angel making poke bowls tonight. 12/10 would & do recommend.

Seafood and bbq chicken combo…read more Fried fish: has a very thick crust. Very hot and fresh inside so be careful. 1 pc are given I dont want to be that guy but i also report everything i can. The fried fish did unfortunately have a bone in it. I posted a pic of it here when i spat it out. I dont think this is a deal breaker tho, easy removal unless the other ones have more bones Fried shrimp: better crust, thinner than the fried fish crust. Also hot inside but managable. 3 pc are given Bbq chicken: a huge chunk of meat is given times 2 (2 of em are given). Less tender than i expected, not chewy but theres a pull required when biting it. Flavor is pretty basic with a lil sweetness. Theres is a little bit of char (altho to be expected from hawaiian bbq chicken). But i still like cause its chicken Macaroni salad: easy to scoop with the fork. less sweet than i expected which i like but still had to eat some rice with it ha ha Rice: rice as usual, only minir wish is I wish there were more rice to balance out the huge chunk of meat Comes with a pickle-y zesty sauce Extra Saturday 12pm, good amount of customers, enough to seem busy while still having free seats available. Long line after I got my order. Update: its a constant long line. I think most are doing takeout Plastic Fork and knife is given for seafood and bbq chicken combo Self serve dispenser, 3 single tables, 2 tables with 4 chairs each. Trash can near the door. Water is free, self serve Take out is default, they dont ask Pay before you eat Cans if soda available in self grab fridge They do party sizes on those big tin fool trays No restroom Either way, Im from the bay and i much prefer L&L bbq that we have. The chicken is noticably different Overall, Im a big rice fan, all the food were good and I had leftovers from the big portion size. Only problem was Im not a big char fan so had to take points off and the bbq chicken was less tender than I had hoped for in a hawaiian bbq. Which gives this place a 4/5
