It took 30 min for our food to come out (which would be fine if we knew but I thought it was fast casual). That said, all the food was served nice and hot. When his Plain Jane came out it was missing the coleslaw. My mom's brisket sandwich had a very burnt end. My pulled pork was good but having a warm salad was strange to me. But most of all, I didn't like the staff wearing the same gloves to buss tables, serve food and roll silverware. Yuck. We did enjoy the street corn and fortune cookie. It's nice that it is dog friendly.

It was quite busy in here so the staff wasn't as attentive but were generous and acknowledged the fact. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the roti but wished they had more of the curry or sauce with it. It was delicious but my girlfriend still prefers the one at hawkers (). The noodles were a good kind of spice and tasted delicious with the chicken and shrimp. In my opinion, the chicken tasted better than the shrimp. The bulgogi was good and came with a decent amount of sauce and surrounding lettuce. It came with 3 skewers with about 4 pieces on each and tasted good with the lettuce. Overall it was good food, and I'd be down to explore the menu again.

I ordered the Shrimp & Grits for my entrée and the Seasonal Bread Pudding for dessert, and overall, I really enjoyed my meal. The shrimp were juicy and flavorful, and the sausage was SO good! All of the flavors came together beautifully. Their Gouda grits are top-notch--creamy, flavorful, the peppers and onions added such a nice touch. Every component worked so well together, and the dish was extremely filling. I was definitely satisfied! I would have given the restaurant 5 stars, yet the bread pudding was a bit of a letdown for me. The texture was much denser than what I'm used to, so it wasn't quite my favorite. And y'all... the portion of ice cream that came with it was laughable! It was basically half a scoop of ice cream sitting next to this HUGE piece of bread pudding. I definitely needed more ice cream to balance it out! Nevertheless, dinner was great and I'd absolutely recommend The Stubborn Mule. The shrimp & grits alone are worth trying, especially if you're looking for a flavorful and filling dish!

We visited Ming's bistro on a Friday night for dinner, and we were very pleased! This place is…read moreclean and nicely laid out. There were 4 of us and we were seated immediately. I love a traditional ordering system where you mark what you want. We got shrimp dumplings, chive dumplings, pork buns, pot stickers, and turnip cake. Everything came out in a timely manner and tasted as expected. I loved all of the dumplings, and the turnip cake was excellent. My one detractor is that the service was a little spotty getting the check. All things considered, this place is solid for dim sum, and I'd definitely go back.

Chicken Lo Mein - nice thin noodles, real chicken, fresh veggies Chicken Fried Rice - lots of egg and chicken and some veggies General Tso's chicken - my 8 year old's favorite - we got no spice Sui Mai - includes pork and shrimp - big and juicy Shrimp and Chive - my wife's favorite - it's just delicious Seafood dumplings - not sure all the seafood but also awesome Pan fried pork potstickers- for my older son cause he has shellfish allergies Appetizer portion of Roast duck - super tender, great flavor, crispy skin Appetizer portion of Pork Belly - it's pork belly...enough said Sesame balls - these are more of a dessert, not overly sweet but a nice finish to the meal Lastly we tried something new...the turnip dumplings which were small squares of turnip paste?? That are fried and tossed in something spicy - these were awesome! Definitely adding into the rotation. Overall this place is awesome and worth a try!!

Either way, visiting this location really is the hack that you think it is. Since it is in the East End Market, you can simply waltz in with little to no line and order your delicious Gideon's treats. It is important to note that unfortunately they don't offer the cold brew here, however, as they don't have the facilities to make it like they do at Disney Springs. But, the cookies are just as delicious and they do always sell their limited edition cookies here in addition to their classics. It is also worth shopping around the market as well since there are many indulgences here ranging from sushi to cocktails to fun trinkets. It is best to visit at an off time though as parking can be a challenge.

I didn't realize that before ordering, so that definitely explains part of why this wasn't for me. Red velvet is usually my birthday cake, so I've tried it from quite a few places over the years. I personally prefer a softer, fluffy cake with a noticeable cocoa flavor and a tangy cream cheese frosting. Gideon's version was very different from that. The color was much more intensely red than I personally like, and I felt like I could taste the coloring. The texture of my slice also felt more wet/dense than moist and fluffy. There was plenty of frosting, but the cream cheese flavor was much more subtle than I prefer. I know this cake has a lot of fans, so I think this really comes down to style and personal preference.

We didn't realize they only offer bialys or sesame buns, but we were all pleasantly surprised and happy with our choices. Everyone except me ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on different bialys like jalapeño & Muenster, everything, and caramelized onion. I ordered the bacon sandwich on a jalapeño & Muenster bialy, which was delicious. My sandwich came with bacon, an over-medium egg, and smoked jalapeño cream cheese, all perfectly toasted. There were no complaints from anyone, honestly, we all ate in silence, which says a lot because we were too busy enjoying the food. The only downside is that it's not much of a dine-in spot, as they only have high-top tables and no chairs. I also got an iced cinnamon latte, which was not overly sweet and had a great espresso flavor. One of my friends ordered a hot lavender latte and really enjoyed it. We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures! If we lived closer, we'd definitely come here more often.

We had their happy hour special which was a bottle of wine and a cheese platter, which was extremely well plated and had a nice variety! I think we tried everything on the magical dining menu within our group and everyone was very pleased, except the person who ordered the chicken - she felt she could have made it herself at home so it wasn't as worth it to her. Our server wasn't great to be honest, but she tried. She had trouble understanding us,, and we had trouble understanding her. She also seemed extremely anxious, which several of us noticed. It was really off-putting. We were never offered refills or a chance to order a second drink and we were there over two hours. We also had to go and search for her to get our checks after we'd been done eating for at least 20 minutes. This is what adding auto gratuity does unfortunately - it diminishes service. Maxine's charges 18% gratuity regardless of party size and a 4% higher non-cash price. We knew this in advance and decided to go anyway, but I didn't love it. Had a lovely evening with friends, but I don't feel compelled to revisit again soon.
