    On my way out took this pic

    Not worth the drive to this place if you want to receive bad service. Upon arrival, I guess stood there waiting to be seated as the employee walked in front of us and ignored us then passed us again as we were not even around her visual sight this upset us because we had great expectations to eat here seeing that it has more than 3 stars but I guess it just wasn't what we expected. This is just my own opinion. Hopefully, if you happen to stop by maybe you get better service

    #10

    I really wanted to give them benefit of the doubt. I always come here to the market and it smells great . I finally went over and ordered #10 the beef Vietnamese noodles and immediately when he put in on the table the sourest smell in the world. I tried to eat it looked good but tasted horrible. I've never got up and left a restaurant but today I did and I'm so mad I paid prior to eating.

    The food is good , but the cleanliness and atmosphere may make you question your dining choices. It hits the spot for sure; especially in an Asian food desert. Having said that, it seems that the flavors are a bit muted. The bone broth isn't nearly as rich and flavorful as most I've tasted, and the ingredients seem a bit over-cooked - especially the egg, which is over-fried instead of soft-boiled. I would also choose to take my food to go. The restaurant is cold and the tables (at least the one we sat at) are dirty, with the condiment jars sticking to the table, leaving rings. The best part is the adjacent market which has anything and everything you'll need when it comes to international cuisine.

    The bottom photo is what I was expecting to get (Beef noodle soup) The top photo is what I got. There was virtually no broth and had no flavor. I called, and was told that their is a new cook, and they would let him know. I don't like writing bad reviews, but told them not to sell that anymore till they figured it out.

    Hole in the wall atmosphere, HUGE portions for a few bucks. I come here when I go shopping at the joined grocery store.

    Came to Evansville for a work. Boss found the place and thought we give it a try since the reviews were good. It's a hole in the wall place. Restaurant is not very clean. Restaurant is attached to the Asian store. Very small. I would not recommend this place for big groups. Very limited space. The Crab Rangoon was very plain. There was no crab chunks. The cream cheese was not flavorful. My boss got the Pad Thai and it did not taste like Pad Thai...my Beef Chow Fun was decent. The beef was not chewy. The noodles were cooked fine. It wasn't the best Chow Fun that I've ever had though. Heads up, you go grab your own drink from the drink fridge.

    Pad Thai and pork belly noodle soup from Mama's Kitchen... deliciousness!!

    OMG...what GREAT food!! I left SO full that I was miserable but I could not get enough of the wonderful flavors MaMa put in my pork belly soup bowl. My hubby's Pad Thai was pure heaven on a plate. Go hungry because she gives you enough food for a small army and all for $7.99.

    Bibimbap...pretty delicious.

    Zuki Japanese Hibachi Grill & Sushi Lounge - Sushi bento box

    Zuki Japanese Hibachi Grill & Sushi Lounge

    We went mid-February 2026 and it was our worst visit to Zuki ever. We have been going for over 10…read moreyears for my brothers birthday. Unfortunately this year was the last. We went at 6pm on a Tuesday and we were the only people there to eat. No one at any tables, no one at hibachi. We were literally the only people there. We had hibachi. Service was slow, they never cleared the table after the soup and salad. Waters were empty, beers/drinks never asked if we wanted another. It took a very long time before the chef came out and we think they had to call him in from his house. He looked like he just woke up from a nap. We have loved Zuki in the past but it's unlikely we will ever return. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

    So, I have no idea where to begin but once we ordered food and sat down, I inevitably had to go to…read morethe bathroom and for some reason, the women's bathroom is down in some sort of basement with strange rooms with furniture. It just seemed creepy and eerie. I included photos of that experience. Once I received my food, I ordered a steak bento box and I was not asked how I wanted my steak but thats not a big deal. I received one of my sides as rice and Im going to be dead honest, the rice was the worst rice I have ever put in my mouth. My server, Derek, did try his best to replace the side. Although he did mention that all the rice did also taste the same so that was a bit of a bummer
