The Rice Flour specializes in roll cakes made with rice flour imported from Korea…read more The roll cakes are made with rice flour and are gluten-free. I had the red blossom and a bite of the early morning. The red blossom has a sweet red bean cream filling. The cake itself is very soft, pairing well with the cream in the center of the roll cake which is perfect! There are pieces of red bean in the filling, and the flavor is not too sweet or overwhelming and is very subtle and light. The early morning roll cake has a green tea flavor, and it has sweet notes with the slightly bitter taste of green tea at the end. This roll cake was also delicious and had many different layers to it! Overall, the roll cakes are amazing! I would definitely come back to try the rest of the roll cake flavors, and the pastry chef was also super nice and very passionate about her pastries. I look forward to what she will concoct in the future!

We stopped by at 12pm on a Saturday and waiting 35 minutes from entering to receiving our food…read morewhich is obviously quite long but I would say it's worth the wait and I'd wait again. We got the Maillards and the Birds Eye smash burgers which were really good. We wish the Maillards had a bit more freshness but the Bird Eye was perfect! The fries are perfect too, they are crispy and potato-y. I wouldn't recommend this for a big group gathering because it is first come first serve for tables and very crowded inside. Overall, the food is amazing and I'm waiting to go back.

We tried the regular burger and the spicy, both were tasty. Best burger I've ever had? Probably not but affordable and clean ingredients, didn't disappoint. We also tried the chicken sandwich which seemed to be the most memorable! Good flavor. The fries were lackluster. Pretty meh and not great. The ice cream is also delicious! You're not going for ambiance or quick eats but overall enjoyed!

Super delicious vegan place only steps from the opera house!…read more We went here for dinner after seeing the Barber of Seville matinee and were super impressed with the options and the ambiance this place provided. We sat at the bar and it was relatively quiet though by the time we left there was a line forming at the door to get in. We got a few drinks, "crab" arancini, "Chk'n" Paella, and the "Choriqueso" Empanadas. Our favorite was the paella - the skewers were really delicious - although everything on the menu looked and tasted good. Could not tell anything was vegan. Would definitely come back and try a few of the other dishes!

I love the food and drinks at Om Sabor and always come here before I'm going to a show nearby…read more However this time when I stopped by for dinner with friends, while the food and drinks were great as usual, the service we received by one random waitress was frankly quite bad. She first asked to take a couple menus from our group while we were still deciding on what to order after we sat down (which was fine), but when I asked to keep 2 menus instead of 1 since there were 4 of us (and sitting across from each other at a table, not in a booth), she very snarkily said no and made it seem like she was doing us a favor by letting us keep 1. We were honestly so shocked by her attitude because it came out of left field and we were just trying to order food and pay the business more money. The rest of the evening when she happened to serve us, she just had a bad attitude and obviously didn't want to be there. We also had to flag down people to clear our table for empty dishes, and to take the menu when we were actually done using it and it was taking up space, and to refill empty water. Things that very obviously needed to be cleared/done, that I would have expected staff to notice since food was still continuously being handed out to us and the table was small and cramped. I was honestly really surprised by the lack of service considering it was a Thursday too and only got super busy as we were leaving. I will probably be back because I love the food and hope this was just a one off, but overall did not enjoy this experience.

I like the extra crunchy element for added texture. You can taste every single ingredient in the sauce. It was also very easy to make, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The only cooking needed is boiling the noodles, then you mix all the other ingredients together for the sauce. Definitely worth it to check out!

There was a farmers market next door so parking was a little hard. The noodle instructions were easy to follow and the 2 generous portions was accurate. The noodles were fresh and you can tell there's a lot of technique behind it. The sauce was the star for me. It was nutty, spicy, and I enjoyed the crunchy topping. If you can't handle more than a medium spice level I recommend putting in half the chili oil and trying it before adding more. For the price it reminded me of a nice dinner out, but at home if you don't like the noise and crowds.

So I decided to check out what else is here. Smish Smash seems to be the only thing open for dinner so I gave it a try. We ordered the cheeseboiga (I said cheese burger when I ordered it and they corrected me haha), Fish Dac Biet, and Beef Tallow Shoestring Fries. The cheeseboiga is tasty and a good replacement for shake shack since the location in downtown closed. The buns were fluffy and the patty was smashed real thin. The Fish Dac Biet I prefered over the smash burger. The fish was fried nicely and is huge! You can't really see how big it was in the special menu but it was massive, a long filet. It had really good vietnamese flavors with the pho aioli and it went well with the jalapenos, cilantro, Thai basil, and alfalfa sprouts. The jalapeños were all lumped in the middle of the sandwhich though, it was a crazy bite. Only thing is that this takes a while to be made. I was originally quoted a 10 minute wait time but it ended up taking a little over 20 minutes for my food to be ready. The star of the show is the Beef Tallow Shoestring Fries! It came out nice and hot and crispy. The beef tallow enhances the fries flavors tremendously and this is how fries should taste. Wish I had ordered a beer at the bar because this would go great with a drink. Overall great casual place to eat in the area.

Nice openings bites but thought it was just okay. Roppongi sen ~4/5. Quite tasty and nice presentation. Really liked the crust and accompanying flavors. Well balanced. Nanangs balay ~4/5. Good and quite tasty. Octopus was cooked well, and the accompanying flavors were quite unique especially with the wilted greens. Pot au feu ~3/5. Okay. Resembled sukiyaki, but the white sauce on top looked a bit unappetizing, and I thought the taste was okay. A cup for sarap ~4/5. Tasty dessert with a combination of ingredients.

We got seated right by the window, so lovely! The ambiance is so nice and the decor is so cozy and cool. We got the free peanuts and cucumber salad first- so flavorful and a nice way to whet our appetite. The scallop vermicelli was SO buttery and flavorful. I wanted another order!! The claypot rice came steaming hot and full of meats! Get something to cut it with! The black bean clams were delicious but a tad salty so it's nice to have with the claypot, or even an order of veggies and plain rice! We ended our meal with shaved ice that was layered with black bean, custard, and boba! So refreshing and a perfect end! I would come back 10000%

Anyway, having tried it, I can say it was good, but not so good that I'd expend that much energy to secure the reservation. Have to say, service was really great. Servers were attentive without being overbearing, which is always welcome. We ordered several dishes and dined, as they suggested, family style. To start, we were given two complimentary dishes, the roasted peanuts and the smashed cucumbers; both were nice appetizers. We ordered the Chiu Chow green beans, the Mongolian beef noodles, the claypot rice with lop cheung and bacon, the salt 'n peppa prawns, and the whole fried petrale sole, the last two being on the day's "specials" board. The winning dish was definitely the green beans. All the food was good, but seemed to be a bit overly salted and highly spiced. The piece of beef I had from the Mongolian beef noodles was tender, but one of my friends thought her piece was a bit tough and too chewy; we all thought the beef could have been cut into smaller or thinner pieces. We also shared two desserts since it was a birthday celebration (there are only three options offered). We had the red bean shaved ice and the mango pudding. Both were good (not "oh, boy, yummy" good, but good). Nice to try. The price wasn't outrageous ($200 including tax and tip), but I think this will be a "been there, done that" experience for me unless a friend absolutely wants to go again.
