This has been my go-to late-night spot. I usually come around midnight, and it always hits. My…read morefavorites are the fried rice and the lomo saltado both are consistently good and definitely what I keep coming back for. If you go late at night like I do, the ambience is really quiet and chill, which I actually like. It's a nice low-key spot to grab food without the usual crowd, and the food usually comes out pretty fast. Also, you have to try the popcorn chicken it's really good and worth adding to your order. Service is average, but it makes sense since there's usually only one person working at night. If it gets busy, there might be a bit of a wait, but it's understandable. Overall, a solid late-night food spot with good portions, fast service, and a chill vibe

Overall pretty good!…read more I came here with my family so I had a very large party. I was lucky to receive my dish pretty quickly, but some of the other people in my party had to wait quite a bit. But I think the staff were working as fast as they could so ultimately, i think service was fine. I tried the lomo saltado with beef, fries and garlic noodles. Overall tasted great. The fries still managed to have a crispy texture and had a sweet and savory sauce flavor to them. The beef cubes were tender and cooked just right. The noodles were fine as well. I liked that the noodles werent too heavy. The portion size is very large though, i was very full by the end of it. The green milk tea was good too. The milk, sugar, and tea ratios were all balanced and the flavor was subtle. It had an interesting flavor that reminded me of grass jelly and milk, but in a good way.

Overall great experience!…read more Food - everything was cooked well. Loved the char on the prawns with our garlic noodles. The bone soup was rich and love that they refill your broth for you! Garlic wings were perfectly crispy. For the calamari ask for the green sauce instead, they were good just really tiny. Lomo saltado was my favorite. The beef was so perfectly cooked and not chewy. Great flavors! Service - our server was so nice! She was great with the kids and also very attentive. Knew exactly when to bring more broth and more lychee lemonade refills. We sat out in the enclosed patio area for first available and it was sooooo hot. Definitely need some sort of air flow in there. Parking - large busy free parking lot

I came here with high expectations for a joint birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I didn't love my…read moreexperience as much as I thought I would. The hosts were very not friendly. It seemed like they were in a bad mood and annoyed that they had to do their job. This wasn't a big deal at all, but it did take a little while for us to get seated, even though we had a reservation and they had called us 5 minutes prior to confirm we were coming. Granted, we were a large party, but it was kind of odd. We were also seated at two different tables next to each other instead of one long table. We were also only given 3-4 menus for a party of 15 and didn't get enough utensils at first. Our server was friendly and helpful, so I thank him for that. However, part of our party's food came out 5-10+ minutes before the rest of the party, so it was kind of awkward having to wait and the food got a bit cold. Maybe it was because they were busy, but I wish they timed the food a little better. I got the garlic noodles with filet mignon ($25). You can choose to have the meat cooked rare, medium, or well done. The taste was good, but nothing special (as I had read in other reviews). On a positive note, they did give us a complimentary appetizer (spicy wontons with shrimp) that I really liked! They also give us complimentary matcha cheesecake because we were celebrating two birthdays, so that was very nice of them. Overall, I don't believe they live up to the hype. Maybe it was just because we were a large party, but I had hoped to have had a better experience. I probably won't be back :/

It looked rustic and tasted fresh rather than heavy. The burrata with colorful tomatoes was creamy, refreshing, and beautifully balanced.

The appetizer underneath the pizza was also really tasty -- crispy bites with plenty of freshly grated cheese on top. Everything felt thoughtfully presented and made for sharing. Even the drink was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully plated, and perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

Entree: Scallop, Short ribs and Ribeye are good options. I didn't think Branzino, Chicken or Pork Tomahawk were as special as I hope for.

Worth every penny!…read more I've been here before and always liked this place, but this was our first time coming back with the kids and somehow I think I like it even more now! First off, the food was delicious. I've had A LOT of matcha and matcha fusion drinks, but the coconut matcha here is really unique and sooo good. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees and desserts was great. Some of our favorites were the garlic noodles with spicy sauce, seafood ceviche, squid and mango salad, and crab toast. The desserts were also surprisingly good. The banana bread pudding was amazing, and we really liked the frozen yogurt parfait. It's not your typical frozen yogurt dessert--I think it might be more of a Vietnamese-style yogurt--but whatever it is, it was delicious. What really stood out to me this time though was how kid friendly the place is. We have an infant and a toddler, and there was actually enough room around our seating to keep the stroller with us without feeling like we were completely in the way. I also really appreciated the music level. So many restaurants nowadays blast music to the point where you start wondering if it's too much for babies and toddlers. Here, they hit the sweet spot. Loud enough to create a nice vibe, but not so loud that we were worried about the kids. Service was exceptional too. And trust me, kids can make a mess lol. Our toddler spilled a drink and our waiter was so understanding about it. More importantly, you could tell it was genuine. There was no judgment, no annoyed reaction, nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. When you're dining out with little kids, that kind of attitude from the staff really makes a difference. I already liked this place before having kids, but I honestly didn't expect the experience to be even better coming back as a family. Great food, really good drinks, amazing service, and surprisingly kid friendly. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

I enjoyed the grilled chicken (3/5) as it was flavorful and their sauces paird nicely, but it wasn't memorable. The hainan chicken was so bad (1/5): the meat was chewy (but not in a good, free-range kind of way) and the skin was falling apart; the rice was incredibly dry and bland. I'd say this was the worst hainan chicken I've ever had. The crisy rice (1/5): the same rice was used for this dish. They just packed a big lump of it and fried it on both sides. So no, it wasn't good either. Servers were polite and friendly, so that's a positive. Also, they charge 3% credit card fee.

Although it is a short bit of a drive, it's definitely well worth it! Located in a small plaza, it's easy to turn into, but parking might be a little scarce depending on when you go, as there are quite a number of small businesses within the plaza. Although there are two spots marked for the restaurant in front.....it's right next to the entrance and exit driveway, so keep your eyes open when backing in or out. Inside is very spatious, there is a lot of room that can be filled with tables, and a lot of walls. There were quite a few people dining inside, so it definitely wasnt a ghost town. Service was okay though....it took a while for the server to pop in and check on people, then he'd be gone for a bit. It was hard to see because of the walls. The food is definitely worth the drive! As others have said, this is a combination of two restaurant's menus, with a few slight tweaks. The garlic noodles are good...but not as flavorful as what we're used to. The calamari and popcorn chicken were nice and hot coming out, cooked crispy and juicy. The spicy wontons were also quite tasty......the sauce is sweet with a very slight kick at the end that hits your throat more than your tongue. I felt that the filet mignon and mushroom stir fry's flavor rivals the other restaurant we tend to frequent....but another scoop of rice would be perfect. The pear salad was a hit though. The flavor is just as good, if not better than where we usually go, and they give a generous amount of pear slices. We're used to only getting three or four pieces, but i counted at least 8 or 9 here. No refills on the drinks, and sodas are in cans that come with a metal cup of ice. Will we be back? Definitely! It's a much shorter drive and the food is just as good!

I was extremely impressed the way the chicken and brisket pho were very fresh and tender for a place that's open so late.

I tried the Taro milk tea but it was wayyyyyyyy too sweet to the point where my throat started to kind of hurt but wow the banana matcha was delicious, very very creamy and the banana flavor wasnt too sweet or overpowering. Plus the gentlemen working up front were very kind and helpful. The food came out very fast (less than 5 minutes) and I was really happy the way they neatly packed the food, included fresh produce along with the pho, and packed some eating utensils along with some sauces without asking.

I really enjoyed the Japanese-Italian fusion concept--creative, but the flavors still worked really well together. We tried several dishes, including the steak, seafood pasta, scallops, pork with steamed buns, and a variety of desserts.

The omakase menu was perfect for our group because we got to try a little bit of everything instead of ordering just one entrée. Great food, nice presentation, and a unique combination of Japanese and Italian flavors. Definitely a place I'd come back to with friends!

I grew up in an area with a strong Japanese culture, so I used to eat this type of food pretty regularly. Now I only get to have it maybe once a year when I visit home, so I was excited to find a place that offered it! We ordered the scallop risotto, spinach & uni pasta, crispy tofu, and Chinese chicken salad. Overall, everything was decent, but nothing really blew me away. The scallop risotto was creamy and pretty heavy, with a little too much salt for my taste. The spinach & uni pasta was good, but there was no actual uni--just pasta, spinach, and what seemed like a uni cream sauce. I was expecting some actual uni based on the name. The dishes were all okay and worth trying if you're craving something somewhere between Japanese and Italian, but I wouldn't say they were particularly memorable. The service, though, was great--friendly and fast--and the restaurant has a cozy, pleasant atmosphere. Glad I tried it, especially for the nostalgia factor, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone.

And the Thai tea? Amazing. It was a little on the sweeter side, but still really good. I usually get Thai tea with boba, but even without it, this one definitely hit the spot.

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!
