    I hate to be critical but I must and it's partially my fault. I should've seen all the signs upon sitting down in an empty restaurant at 5:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. I immediately had to use the wash room and the hallway floor to the bathroom is so greasy I almost fell. Secondly the bathroom is so dimly lit. You can't see within your own reach, perhaps invest in a lightbulb and lastly, the owner of the restaurant is standing by the kitchen entrance, which is a shared hallway into the bathroom, with a fly swatter, swatting at flies. Now onto the food! Let me start it's more Chinese on the menu than Thai. Our two entrees, first garlic chicken is really stir fried chicken with a bowl of rice and second entree is drunken noodle but its just ordinary beef cheung fun. Our spring roll appetizer was so unappealing, they're simply put onto an oversized plate which immediately turn my appetite away. Lemon Leaf is really chinese food disguised as Thai dishes. Both dishes bland and my drunken noodle was more sweet than spicy as advertised. The Zagat survey on the wall may have been true in 2009 but still hanging on the wall 14 years later doesn't represent the true taste and quality of a restaurant. Bottom line is I'm willing to give any restaurant a fair chance however, I doubt there will be a second visit. There are several authentic Thai restaurants around the area and much better overall experience for same cost.

    Jumbo prawns in coconut batter (white sauce) with mango over fried white noodles and some tomato and broccoli

    Small restaurant on Mineola Blvd with even smaller parking space behind it, but we found a spot on the street the last time we were here. Reasonably priced and generous portions. Food was okay. Out of the entrees the four of us ordered, there was only one worthy of notice and praise (see photo below): Jumbo prawns in coconut batter (white sauce) with mango over fried white noodles and some tomato and broccoli. And kudos on the deep-fried coconut shrimp appetizer. It wasn't crowded upon our 6:30 arrival on Saturday night, and they seemed to have a brisker take-out business than in restaurant dining. One of us ordered a lychee martini and was very disappointed. We only saw one waitress. She brought out our dishes whenever they were ready, which for one of us meant that a hot entree was delivered while we we're having salads and appetizers. We liked it more the first time (a few years ago).

    Ambience was pretty plain and my trails were dirty. The Thai tea was good. The egg rolls were greasy and the sauce was too thin. The curry was pretty good but didn't have a lot of flavor or heat to it. The waitress was very slow and never checked on us even though there was only one other table in the restaurant.

    Drunken Noodles with Beef.

    When you order Drunken Noodles at any Thai spot, you can EXPECT it to have some level of spice/heat. There was no spice in this at all, let alone any flavor. The noodles were dry and the overall taste was Bland. The texture of the beef was also mushy and questionable... Only thing good about this was the portion size. Drunken Noodles are always my safe order at any Thai restaurant, but unfortunately, this was the worst yet.

    Panang curry with chicken, pad Thai with shrimp, Mongolian beef, drunken noodle with beef and teriyaki chicken
    Cecilia T.

    First time trying this place via Uber Eats delivery and had a good experience. The food arrived in 40 minutes after placing my order (I live 15 minutes away) and everything was still hot. The portions were bigger than expected, I ordered 5 entrees thinking they were going to be small and it was more than enough for the 4 of us. I ate my drunken noodle with beef as well as half the panang curry with chicken over rice, both were really tasty and flavorful. Everyone devoured the Mongolian beef so I'm guessing that was good too. The pad Thai was decent with a good amount of shrimp and I do not recommend the teriyaki chicken (Thai style), the sauce weren't our cup of tea and there was too many vegetables in this dish. None of the dishes were spicy, which was odd since Thai food is usually spicy or has a kick to them but nonetheless, I enjoyed it and would definitely order from here again.

    The service and food is excellent here. Was there for lunch and many of the meals Ade between $10 and $12. The Curry Pineapple Shrimp was awesome. The ambiance was great

    Seafood soup
    Ruthy M.

    I ordered take out. Good portion size but I think they cook everything with peanuts. My spicy basil fried fried was sweet. The sweet flavor was very overpowering. My shrimp dumplings has peanuts shavings on top of it, which was fine because the dumplings taste bland. My seafood soup was just 2 pieces of shrimp and I think maybe pieces of fish? Eh. I wouldn't order here again.

    Chicken and beef satay

    The food is mediocre Thai food. The flavor of pad thai seems like it's missing something. Okay food, fine in a pinch.

From the moment you sit down, the experience feels intentional--warm wood tones, beautifully branded trays, and little details like the bamboo boxes stamped with Everyday is Ramen Day that instantly set the mood.- see picture The ramen... this is where Kyuramen really shines. The broth is rich and silky without being overly heavy, clearly simmered with care. The noodles have just the right bite, and the chashu pork is tender, flavorful, and generously portioned--melting into the broth with every bite. Simple, classic, and done right, which is harder to find than it should be. Everything arrives artfully plated, and the pacing is perfect--never rushed, never slow. It's an easy spot for a casual weeknight dinner, but also polished enough for a cozy date or a relaxed meal with family. If you're looking for ramen that balances quality, presentation, and comfort, Kyuramen absolutely delivers. This is a place you'll come back to--because yes, everyday really is ramen day.

While I'm there, another person walked in and they offered them a table in the seating area. I'm at the Ramen bar, the chefs are stuffing their face-Instead of using a designated area out of sight of customers. I tried to make conversation so they would get a clue-Nada. That was my 4th & last time. I honestly should've left upon arrival but tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. It got worse & my entire meal was rushed. I tried to bypass the lack of Hospitality from previous visits, and even recommended the place to some of my peers and their recent feedback + feeling rushed, was similar to mine. I did not leave a tip, and the manager got confrontational with me. I politely shared my feedback and walked out. Based on that experience, would you go back, would you have left a tip?

We were traveling from out of town and meeting up with an old high school friend and Copperhill was the perfect place. They had a menu full of great selections ... from brunchy items to salads/sandwiches and great healthy selections too. Our server Cat D. also did a fine job of keeping us all very happy, she's a great server. I had the shrimp tacos which were very good. My husband and HS friend had the kale salad with a big piece of salmon on top. We all really enjoyed our meal and had plenty of time to catch up with each other. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated with cool art and flowers/plant life. They did a great job with creating a cool vibe inside. It does get a little loud, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, brunch on a Sunday might not be the place. The restaurant gets pretty crowded.. and for a reason. Great service, food and ambiance can do that! I would definitely go back next time I'm in town.
