    Very hole in the wall spot! Not crowded on Saturday evening but they were setting up for live music. I wanted a glass of bubbly but all they had is Chardonnay. Maybe not my favorite place but I always like exploring small/local spots- I really value experiencing the true culture/vibe of a new city/suburb. It's a little further out from downtown but closer to where I was staying. Had a decent time overall though.

    Stopped on this neighborhood joint for karaoke. Everyone truly seemed to know each other and everyone was very nice. It was cool to see MUCH older folks there to sing as well. Unfortunately, the karaoke sound system isn't that great. You barely sound amplified and the screen with lyrics kept going in and out. The food was kinda sad, too. When you order onion rings, which are 50 cents more than fries, you get four. And they're small. My friend's fried dumplings were over-fried. And they're deep fried versus pan fried. My breakfast burger was okay, but the cheese wasn't melted and there was way too much bread for the bun.

    Specialty wings!

    Great casual bar that that happens to have a Korean food portion of their menu including bibimbap, bulgogi, Korean style wings, mandu guk. The wings are so crispy and delicious. Also has a pool table! Will be back!

    This is a low key hangout

    No. No. Nope. Never again. Worst service, actually, no service and we were literally the only people in there at the time.

    Disgusting place. Smells like cigarette smoke. Has microwavable food and doesn't look like it's ever been cleaned.

    How's the karaoke? I saw that they have it every night. I also saw that sometimes the host doesn't show.

    Went to the Broadberry for the first time for a concert! It is a pretty large space with a small…read morestage leading to a very intimate experience. Apparently the capacity is 500 so be prepared to be close to others if your show is sold out! Showed up early prior to doors opening to ensure we got a good spot which is a must especially if you'd like to be close to the stage. The staff was really friendly and set up barricades by the door which helped corral the line. I loved that they had a metal detector set up and a security check point. I felt very safe and comfortable the whole time. I will say be prepared to stand for an extended period especially if you show up early. There is little to no seating available and as show time nears it is practically standing room only. So wear comfy shoes! Overall it's a nice venue and I am glad we have it as an option here in Richmond!

    We tried MPM Tiki bar tonight for the first time! Upon entering the front door we were promptly…read moregreeted by the hostess. The inside was decorated very on brand, but I thought it was quite loud inside. Granted, it is a Friday night. We sat outside and were greeted within a few minutes by our waitress. She was super friendly and helpful going over the menu for us since it was our first visit. I had a Thai Iced Tea which was delicious, but the straw I was given was too short for the glass they served it in. We ordered the crab Rangoon and bulgogi beef appetizers and thought they were delicious! For main courses, I ordered the Katsu Chicken Rice Bowl, my husband ordered the Pad Prik Pao and my husband's friend ordered the Crispy Chicken Fried Rice. We also ordered the Honey BBQ wings for the table. I thought the chicken in my bowl was really good, but the proportions of the bowl were interesting. It was essentially 5/6 rice and then 1/6 the chicken, seaweed salad, and other toppings (cabbage and tomatoes). It was such a deep bowl that I was left with copious amounts of rice at the end. The wings looked awesome but they were slathered in sauce and that was a little disappointing. Plus we could have used some wet wipes for them! The service was pretty slow which, again, Friday night.... But our server visited our table one time. Overall the food (for the most part) and atmosphere were great, but the service was just okay.
