    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Jillian M.

    Such a great local spot! I had been wanting to check out this spot for a long time and we finally went. It did not disappoint! Everything we got was delicious. The service was excellent and the staff was so friendly. I would highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back.

    Service was good, the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was alright. I've never had dahi puri before, but this was inedible to me. The whole inside was just yogurt and was very sweet. That may just be a personal preference though since I'm not actually sure what it's supposed to be like! The chicken tikka masala was also a tad sweet for my liking, the cucumber raita helped balance it out though. The garlic naan was very good! Would I come again or recommend to someone else? No. But it's not horrible.

    I really like this place because they also offer servings of just the butter or tikka masala sauce for $5, which is awesome because I somehow always run out of sauce when I have naan and rice. The curries were flavorful, meats were not dry, and the rice and naan were fluffy. Not much more I could ask for.

    I don't know much about Indian food, but really enjoyed this place. This review is for takeout. We ordered: Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Cucumber Raita, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Chive Naan and Mango Lassi. My partner said the "fine" but I thought it was very good. I was surprised the Cucumber Raita was so liquidy, but it had good flavor and helped offset spice levels. We both loved everything else. All of the food was packed well, the pickup estimated time was right on schedule, and the staff at the front desk was so warm and inviting. I felt like the portions were very reasonable for the price. We will be back!

    Butter Chicken
    James Y.

    TLDR: overall not bad but some of the spices were off. Would want to try Magic Masala again tho. We ordered takeout and got the following: Veg Pakora: pretty damn good with a small spicy kick with some small bits of potato. No pictures tho. Chana Masala: I thought it was pretty good but wife felt the spices were not in proportion. Coconut Chicken Curry: TBH not sure we really got this because it tasted just like the Chana Masala sauce but with chicken instead of chickpea. Butter Chicken: just a bit overly sweet sauce that overpowered everything else. Wife did not like. Disappointing Burnt Garlic Chicken Fried Rice: I liked this. Like the name implies it has garlic that is browned and then stir fried with basmati rice. I give it a fuyyyyyoooh (for the Uncle Roger fans).

    Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan

    Magic Masala was one of the more delicious Indian food places I've ever been to! It seems a little bit of a hole in the wall, but they keep it nice and clean inside. The hostess/server lady was really welcoming. The food ended up being perfect proportions. You could just tell they perfected the recipes. We ordered the Chicken Tikka and Garlic Naan. The Chicken Tikka had a depth of flavors from savory to sweet that worked beautifully. The Garlic naan also seemed super fresh and was perfect. Highly recommend checking these guys out!

The udon were really good but if you let them sit for a long time they get a bit soggy and lose their texture, mainly a concern if you eat really slow though. Broth was also great, just a tiny bit of spice really added to it Overall I'd definitely come back here!

    I don't usually leave negative reviews because I understand how much they can impact a business,…read morebut this was a really frustrating experience and I hope it's taken as constructive feedback. My girlfriend and I stopped in before a flight, which in hindsight was a mistake. We ordered around 12:30 PM (niku beef udon, garlic pork udon, and chicken karaage), and it took nearly an hour to receive everything. The karaage came out first after about 40 minutes, then one udon about 10 minutes later, and the final dish close to an hour after ordering. Because of this, we weren't able to eat together unless one of us let our food go cold. On top of that, the restaurant itself was uncomfortably cold, which made the long wait feel even worse. It also seemed like many other tables were experiencing similar issues--orders coming out at different times or missing entirely, with customers having to repeatedly follow up. What stood out most was the lack of communication. There was no acknowledgment of the delays, no check-ins, and no apology--not when the food was dropped off, and not even when we left. Given that we had to pay upfront and the price point was $20+ per bowl, it made the experience feel even more disappointing. While the portions were decent and the noodles seemed handmade, the food itself didn't feel particularly special to justify the wait or cost. I truly hope this feedback is helpful. With better timing, communication, and overall service, I think the experience could be much better.

Luckily I was able to snag reservations, but you do sit pretty close to the tables around you. We didn't mind since we had a corner table. To share, we ordered the chicken curry nasi lemak, sayap ayam pedas, and kaya toast. All three dishes were phenomenal, each with its own distinct flavor. The sayap ayam pedas was a huge portion for just 2 people, but we couldn't stop eating. The combination of soy sauce and fish sauce was not overpowering at all and the chicken itself was so juicy. The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite. The kaya toast was the perfectly sweet dish to balance out all the flavors. I especially loved dipping it in the poached egg for a satisfyingly runny bite. I left feeling so full, but so motivated to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend!

The roti jala is an always-order, and great for sharing. The laksa is really good, and a great option for vegetarians. I personally like the nasi lemak, but just be careful not to add all of the chilis they provide you, as that can really overwhelm the flavor of the dish. The nasi biryani is good -- the beef rendang is wonderfully flavorful but not the most tender rendang I've had. Portions are satisfying, thankfully, since all the entrees are about $20 and up. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. Food comes out quickly and you feel well attended to here.

I ordered a miso ramen and my parents ordered the tonkatsu ramen. As someone from the Bay Area, I was so surprised by the richness of the ramen and it definitely beats some of my usual spots. Each bowl was ~$15 and a smaller bowl, so would definitely advise getting an extra batch of noodles. The chashu is melt in your mouth tender. The broth wasn't very salty or over complicated itself with a burst of spices, but highlighted the simplicity of a good ramen, tasting the long simmer of the pork. My dad was honestly pretty pissed circling around the area for an hour for parking, but said it was all worth it, even waiting in a long line.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.

The start of the journey began with the requisite parking fiasco and issues that are perpetual in the Seattle ID...but that should never, and I mean never, stop an important mission like finding a truly delicious noodle restaurant. When we went in, it was pretty empty. We were immediately sat, and ordered. The hot jasmine tea quickly followed. Our Calamari came out quick and was delicious to the point I nearly had to fight my son for the last piece. I quickly surrendered as he does stab people...see above...he parried my fork and stabbed the last piece before quickly finishing the move. Our mains came out shortly after we finished the calamari. The 14yo ordered beef brisket noodle soup. He said it was delicious, but too spicy after he added too much chili oil. The wife scoffed at the idea that there's such a thing as too much chili oil and ate some of his soup. This was after she dug into her hot pot. I did get a chance to sample the delicate pork pieces and the flavorful rice. The slightly crispy rice at the bottom of the pot were so delicious. I had the Singapore style fried noodles. Really tasty. The noodles had so many flavors from the vegetables to the meats (shrimp, chicken meat & egg, and pork) and the sauce. I enjoyed the meal, and look forward to discovering more dishes to try on our adventures trying to find parking. JuFeng, thank you for the delicious meal!
