Upon arrival on the rainy day i was offered water or warm tea and opted for both. Nothing better than that combo for me. Ordered my usual... Pho with rare steak, tripe, tendon and added meatballs. Broth is flavorful, as with anything you make it how you want after the initial taste and i only add limes and chili oil with the added basil. Nothing else. Fun fact: sriracha and hoisin are meant to be on the side to dip in, not poor into the broth. Also what makes me come back here is the Pork Patty Spring Rolls. The added crispy crunch on the inside makes these next level with the dark Romaine and just enough noodles to not overwhelm them like other places. A little added tunes whether traditional or not would be great. Or maybe the sound from the TVs playing food videos from around Vietnam would be cool. The silence was actually a could change up with the air conditioning and sound from the kitchen cooking. Great experience and glad i finally got to come in here!

An early brunch/lunch visit today, 4/25/26, at 10:30 AM local time. My wife, my 2-year old son and…read moreI sat at a table by the window. There were a few people picking up at the time we entered, but nobody else dining in. When one of the servers came with our cold waters, we placed our food order right away with her. We got two orders of the Pork Patty Spring Rolls, a Kids Meatball Pho, a Combination Pho, a Grilled Chicken Noodle Bowl and a Vietnamese Pancake. After about 5 minutes, we got the Pork Patty Spring Rolls. Every single time we order them, they taste so good!!! Hits the spot whenever we visit this restaurant. Probably our favorite dish, actually. After we devoured the Spring Rolls, our entrees came out - Combination Pho and the Kids Meatball Pho. Then a few minutes later, the Grilled Chicken Noodle Bowl came out. I normally like to pour some Sriracha and Hoisin Sauce into my Noodle Bowl along with the sauce it originally comes with. Mixing everything in all of that makes it that much more flavorful for me! Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, the food and the service. The Pho broth seemed a little bland and not seasoned as well as before. Other than that, all of the other food items were tasty and to our liking. The restaurant itself has ample amount of space to sit at since there are plenty of seating and tables available. Parking outside is good, there are plenty of spaces to park at as well. There used to be a Big 5 Sporting Goods store, but since that's gone, parking hasn't been an issue at all. They have pretty decent Vietnamese food for reasonable prices and adequate portions.

I'm back here again - trying a refreshing drink called Halo Halo, meaning "mix mix" in Filipino…read more It is so delicious. It comes with fruit layered in the bottom with ice cream on top and Ube ice cream as well as some flan pieces and it is so delicious... I know I said that, but it's so nice. I had to say it twice. This is a really unique thing that would be most comparable to a milkshake for a lot of people You can eat any way you like, but I'm told that people commonly mix it up although you can eat the layers individually of course if you choose It has several chunks of banana jackfruit, even some sweet potato, which may not be something you associate with this type of drink/dish normally but it really works here. This is something that is very unique and certainly should be tried - you are gonna love it

While staying at a hotel, we asked the Filipino staff where they go for Filipino food, most said…read morethe local options weren't great, but one person specifically recommended Fil Cuisine in Kent. We had been to the other Fil Cuisine location twice and were disappointed both times, so expectations were cautious. This visit started off strong, though. We were greeted right away by a friendly waitress - she was funny, and very upfront. She warned us that regular portions are already massive and family size would be super-sized. She was absolutely right. When the food came out, we were shocked by how large the portions were. The waitress came back with a playful "I told you so," which made us laugh. Food-wise, it was hit or miss: - Ginisang munggo was delicious. We finished the entire bowl. Highly recommend. - Mixed pancit looked great but was a bit bland. Loved the fresh lemon (not packets) with it and asked for more. - Pork adobo fried rice tasted like garlic fried rice. No real adobo flavor detected and it also was light in seasoning. - Papaitan was Tagalog-style (no bile or liver) and would have been a winner for us but it too lacked the expected flavor punch. - Ube halaya was a bonus. It was made fresh and still warm with a soft fudgey texture. We spooned it. Highly recommend. - Hot tea turned out to be chamomile, which we didn't expect and didn't enjoy. We had plenty of leftovers to take back to the hotel. Several dishes needed condiments or seasoning help since flavors were muted. Easy fix so no worries. The restaurant itself is spacious, comfortable, and great for big families. The ladies from the kitchen who came out to check on us were also friendly and chatty. While this wasn't a slam dunk for flavor this first round, the service, portions, and welcoming atmosphere made it worth trying.

It is located in the Great Wall Shopping Mall in Kent. I recommend entering on the left side( when you're looking at the maib entrance for the mall) doors, as youll see it on your right side. Just look for the lit up red letters. The store itself isn't big, so just be aware as they can get pretty busy. Once inside you'll see fresh veggies, meats and other toppings on the right side. But don't get too carried away, because they do weigh it by the pound and it can add up fast and you'll have the modt expensive malatang ever. Haha. If you have a severe nut or seasame allergy, this place is not for you since they use all of the above. They do advise if you have an allergy to let them know. Its also noted that they use milk in their sous so be aware. They did add a tomato based soup, but there wasnt much details on if they still included the nuts and milk, so please confirm with the staff. I love spicy so I got it spicy, but to me it wasn't but to the rest of the crew, they were sweating. And the staff does advise not to get it if you cant do spicy. If you like pork, the crew got the sweet and sour pork. Its different from other spots since the pork is flattened out. And they said it has a nice crunch and taste. They do have drinks available for purchase from soda to asian teas thats to the right of the register. Service was good, the staff was friendly and nice!

We first visited over a year ago. They were having a viral moment & so of course we were…read moreinfluenced. That first visit was decent. The food was made hot & fresh. The samoon bread was insanely fresh. They were popping out batch after batch. That bread was soft, delicious & every ounce of comfort you could expect from fresh baked bread. I went a couple weeks ago and tried to order a shawarma but I must have came to early bc they were not ready. So today I decided to try again. I ordered the combo and the digital menu shows the combo as $14.99 but it rang up at $15.99. Not a big deal but the digital board should be updated. If you order online, the price does show for $15.99. The cashier was okay. Not as friendly with me as she was with others. It was like I was bothering her by ordering food. The gentleman who was in the back cooking my food was pretty friendly though. Honestly, based on the experience with the cashier it would be pretty easy to not rush back. But the shawarma was just good as I remembered. The chicken was juicy and extremely flavorful. Now that I work closer to this location, it will definitely be in rotation for me. The samoon was calling my name on this visit but I will definitely have to wait until next time and get it with some hummus. You can order the shawarma on the samoon also.

Located at the Great Wall Shopping Mall (south entrance), Mama Dough lives up to the hype!…read moreDefinitely more affordable and accessible than Din Tai Fung in terms of Xiao Long Baos. It's a casual spot with many seats. My sister and I came here at lunch time on a Thursday, and there were a lot of people in there, which is always a good sign to me. My sister and I shared the Crab Xiao Long Bao, Spicy shrimp wontons, beef braised noodle soup, and the Tianjin Style Chive and Egg Pancakes. I really liked everything we ordered. The crab xiao long bao was nice and soupy; the crab flavor is subtle but nice. What got me was the little crab carrot in the baos. The absolute cutest thing and a nice touch! The pancake was delicious. Very herbaceous and savory, the pancake was crispy and chewy at all the right places. The wontons weren't super spicy, but the flavors were good, and the wonton itself was tasty. The top dish for me, though, was the beef braised noodle soup. The handmade noodles were bouncy and perfectly chewy. The beef is definitely the star of this dish, being so freakin tender and flavorful! The bok choy added that freshness and crunch that complemented the soup really well. From the tender meat, the chewy noodles, and the bok choy, this soup is my absolute favorite item here so far. I'd like to try the spicy version next time. The staff were super friendly. The food came out fairly quickly after ordering, and everything was so hot and fresh! I'll definitely be back as I'd like to try the other items they offer.

I would get this weekly if it was closer. Want to come back to dumplings and pancake. The waitress was nice and checked in regularly. Also got free tea.

We had ordered a seafood pancake, saw ours be given to another table that ordered later than us. We reminded the waitress once more and saw that one be given to another table as well. We reminded them one last time just to be told "it's coming." At that point, we have been dining in for 45 minutes, finished our soups and just ended up wanting to cancel that order (even though we were looking forward to it). We went up to the cash register and told the waitress to cancel the pajeon but she didn't believe us that it never came and that she had to check our table for herself. Not once were we ever checked up on, just overlooked and ignored... I want to say I like Yi's but I am apprehensive about coming back.

One of my besties frequently passes by this Latino-owned sushi and teriyaki spot, and we decided to…read morecome here in a group of three on a Friday evening around 4:30pm. Actually it's afternoon, but we get less sunlight around this time hence it feels like the evening even at 4pm. Anyway, the inside is brightly lit and is very casual, with the interior feeling like a fast-food joint but with much better seating quality. Their menu consists of teriyaki, Chinese food, sushi, bento boxes, fried rice, yakisoba and many others. They also have a special sushi menu located behind the counter, and one particular kind caught my friend's eye. Servers were patient with us and would come by once in a while to refill our water cups. Now for the food: - We each got our own bento box. For mines, i got their box with hot crispy chicken, spicy tuna rolls and four pieces of gyoza. The hot crispy chicken is already filling on its own, and they don't skimp on the spices. It was really crispy, sometimes to the point of scratching the inside of my mouth. Spicy tuna rolls were standard but also hit the spot, with the mayo sauce and even the tuna being spicy. The gyozas were also standard but were cooked well. Portions here are huge, and I almost asked for a to-go box for my remaining chicken. They didn't provide me with a side of salad as they advertise on their menu, though. It only came with my other friend's bento with chicken teriyaki, California roll and four pieces of gyoza. He did enjoy the teriyaki here, though. - My friend got a Diablo roll, which has a similar mayo sauce on it but is covered on the outside by a layer of Flaming Hot Cheetos. This was even spicier than the spicy tuna rolls which was actually even better. It gets really filling because of all the filling and sauces above it, and carries a familiar crunch with the Hot Cheetos covering. This place has some big portions for their food and needs more exposure! I'd be back for their other dishes and offerings.

I was craving for sushi and decided to give this place a shot. Parking is not too bad. Would I say…read morethis is authentic sushi? Probably not, but honestly it was a lot better than I expected. HOWEVER, for the price... not really. We got the Diablo roll ( the fried Cheeto rolls), the 10 piece Nigiri rolls, and the caterpillar roll plus the crab Rangoon. That came out to about $80 before tip which is insane. Be prepared to order enough drinks/ water to stay hydrated because you have to pay for your own water bottle. IF they're busy, good luck trying to get something to drink . I would suggest a water station or something. That brings me to the next issue. They have only one server/cashier/busser. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. I wanted spicy Mayo and never got it. We were starving and she was so busy to even get her attention. You pay upfront and is asked to tip on the screen however, you are your own server because you will get absolutely no service so FYI. Overall, food was alright. Will we be back? Probably not.

We went recently dined in on a holiday Monday and were very disappointed!! First, the state of cleanliness was very bad! The dining room needs a deep cleaning! Thick dust was observed on the worn, paint-chipped chairs and in low traffic areas of the floor; many pictures were hanging crooked on the walls; grime was visible on the walls and floor; the bathroom smelled heavily of urine. When a public space is this dirty and neglected, one wonders how unsanitary the kitchen might be! Service wasn't attentive - never had our drinks refilled or even checked on to ask how things were. The food was good and portions large but prices high even by current standards. Also it was a bit sickening to sit in the dining room. The owners and management need to work hard to improve from the OKAY rating from the Health Department and do some deep cleaning to return to the special restaurant it was years ago. We do not plan to return at this point.

Walking inside, the interior feels inviting and thoughtfully designed, with a clean, modern aesthetic softened by warm lighting and natural tones. There's a noticeable balance between openness and coziness, and plenty of seating options--from small tables for solo diners to larger spaces for groups--making it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The food itself leans heavily into comfort, starting with the Grilled Cheese, which delivers a surprisingly nostalgic bite. The crisp, buttery bread gives way to perfectly melted cheese, instantly reminiscent of childhood lunches. Paired with the Tomato Soup, the experience becomes even better--the soup's creamy, smooth texture complements the sandwich beautifully, creating that classic combination that feels both simple and deeply satisfying. Another standout was the Asiago Croissant Twist, which offered a flaky, airy texture with a subtle richness from the cheese. Each bite had a delicate crispness on the outside while remaining soft and layered within, making it an easy favorite for something lighter yet indulgent. The Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich was equally impressive, bringing together a balance of flavors and textures. The chicken salad was creamy without being heavy, while the cranberries added a gentle sweetness that contrasted nicely with the savory elements. The walnuts provided a slight crunch, rounding out each bite and giving the sandwich a more elevated feel. Overall, Panera Bread delivers a well-rounded experience--comfortable seating, a welcoming atmosphere, and food that manages to feel both familiar and thoughtfully prepared.
