I kinda get both sides ya know , sure one person in the group wants a drink w dinner but dude just tough it out and have your dinner. Instead they popped off and all started fussing and being entitled and it was just gross. I was enjoying a fantastic dinner but that table was like trying to take the stage. I think they ended up storming out and one girl like stomped off and said she was keeping her cup !! lol I worked in food a long time ago. And I've worked in cannabis under the watchful eye of the olcc so I'm on the servers side. Don't take chances and don't listen to these kids scramble for a secondary ID. Sketch. Go to obon.

Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set (5/5): Upgrading to the Pi-Set is worth the extra $3, which comes with all the standard options plus extra eggs, juicy dumplings, tender yu choy, and a side of bone broth. The five-spice pork is super tender and tastes very similar to char siu. The pork belly had a great crunch and was perfectly salty, which contrasted well with the sweet Chinese sausage. The dumplings are really juicy and justify the upgrade on its own, in addition to complementing the side of bone broth. Everything ties together when coated in their signature Khao Moo Dang sauce, which rounds out the rich meats with the perfect amount of sweetness. Logistics Tip: Takeout packaging holds up well, keeping the crispy pork belly from getting soggy on the ride home while ensuring the broth stays piping hot. Upgrading to the Pi-Set version further improves an already generous meal into an expansive dish that can easily satisfy a huge appetite.

Been here twice on my past two trips to Portland …read more. The food is pretty darn good -- and pricing is also pretty fair for what it is. However, -2 stars for the last time I was there .. I was with my brother, and he had tipped them well. It was later in the evening and people were hawking our table .. and we weren't aware it was "bus" your town table, felt the need to give up our table quickly and we were already on the street and a male waiter literally ran after us to let us know where we could put our dishes? .. Ok, bro, I get it but was that necessary? Why do you guys want to be tipped 25% and when someone makes a mistake, you run after them to tell them to bus their own table? Wasn't that MORE effort than just doing it yourself and saving your PAYING customers from embarassment? Not sure if I would come back and dine-in again .. Pretty turned off and taken aback. Take-out is definitely on the table but please give your paying customers a break and some empathy.

There's not a lot of Eastern European stuff where I currently live in LA. Only change is that they only offer their "large." I believe it comes with 24 or so dumplings.

I regret not trying out the sweet cheese and fruit ones for dessert.

I was in search of a sandwich, and the menu on the wall in the Landmark had three options available. They were (1) tri tip, (2) pork butt, and (3) sausage with onion and peppers. All three sounded good, but I was disappointed not to see my all-time Leroy's favorite, the pulled pork. I chose the pork butt, and, though it wasn't what I had come in search of, it turned out to be delightful. The crunchiness of Leroy's slaw provided a perfect contrast to the moist, slightly chewy consistency of the pork. There was just enough pepper in the sandwich to add a bit of zing without being overpowering. Hopefully the pulled pork will return to the menu at some point, but in the long run, I would never balk at choosing the pork butt again, or trying either of the other 2 sandwich choices.

If you're looking for good authentic carnitas, they don't have that. They call it carnitas on their menus but it's not. When I mentioned it to our server, he seemed to be confused and didn't know the difference, (Al pastor is marinated pork, often with chiles and pineapple, offering tangy, sweet, and spicy notes, while carnitas is pork shoulder slow-cooked (braised) in lard until tender, then crisped, resulting in rich, savory, and tender-crisp chunks). That's said, I recommend the Posole and I think the nachos would have been good if we had chosen a different meat (I don't like Al Pastor), so Asada might have been better for me. If I'm in the area, we might stop by again cause I like to give places a second chance and now that I know better, I can do better with my ordering.

The one star is just from the app and not me, I would've given them a minus if I could. Mac'd; We stopped by for a quick meal, expecting a similar experience to my previous visit. Unfortunately, upon inspecting our order, I discovered that the quality of their meals had decreased significantly. A comparison of the website image and the actual meal revealed a notable discrepancy. I pointed out the issue to the representative, who unfortunately seemed unconcerned that the meal was predominantly fat. Upon returning home, I weighed the meat and found it to be underweight, at only 3oz instead of the promised 4oz. Combining the meat and fat, the meal was a letdown. I would advise conserving one's funds. read more

Brisket Mac - The beef was incredibly tender with a delicious smoky flavor that paired perfectly with the garlic mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and packed with just the right amount of garlic to complement the beef without overpowering it. The fried cauliflower, served with sriracha and aioli, was soft on the inside with a satisfying crisp, delivering a spicy kick and a delicious finish. Every bite was a hit! Service was slow, but guy was trying. A truly satisfying and flavorful meal! read more

I'm a huge fan of Mac and Cheese, so I had to try this place. The definitely have Plenty of Mac options, and the portion sizes are impressive. The staff was friendly, and the food didnt take long to arrive. The taste was ok. Not terrible, but not great. I certainly wouldn't warn people to stay away, but I also wouldn't say its anywhere near the best Mac in town. Still a good place to try at least once read more
