My…read morefavorites are the fried rice and the lomo saltado both are consistently good and definitely what I keep coming back for. If you go late at night like I do, the ambience is really quiet and chill, which I actually like. It's a nice low-key spot to grab food without the usual crowd, and the food usually comes out pretty fast. Also, you have to try the popcorn chicken it's really good and worth adding to your order. Service is average, but it makes sense since there's usually only one person working at night. If it gets busy, there might be a bit of a wait, but it's understandable. Overall, a solid late-night food spot with good portions, fast service, and a chill vibe

Overall pretty good!…read more I came here with my family so I had a very large party. I was lucky to receive my dish pretty quickly, but some of the other people in my party had to wait quite a bit. But I think the staff were working as fast as they could so ultimately, i think service was fine. I tried the lomo saltado with beef, fries and garlic noodles. Overall tasted great. The fries still managed to have a crispy texture and had a sweet and savory sauce flavor to them. The beef cubes were tender and cooked just right. The noodles were fine as well. I liked that the noodles werent too heavy. The portion size is very large though, i was very full by the end of it. The green milk tea was good too. The milk, sugar, and tea ratios were all balanced and the flavor was subtle. It had an interesting flavor that reminded me of grass jelly and milk, but in a good way.

Cute little Japanese/Italian fusion restaurant! We were seated quickly, although the restaurant was…read morestill quite busy. Service was a little slow, but it was understandable given how busy it was tonight. The owner was apologetic, personable, and very kind, which we really appreciated. We ordered the scallop and mushroom risotto and the uni pasta, and both dishes were done really well. The pasta was cooked to perfection and covered in a rich, creamy uni sauce. It came with freshly grated wasabi and nori, which added a fresh kick and extra depth to the dish, really elevating the overall flavor of the pasta. The scallops were seared beautifully and cooked perfectly, maintaining that nice, fresh, bouncy texture. The mushroom risotto was creamy and packed with flavor as well. Everything paired really nicely with the Chardonnay. Would 100% recommend and would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

I've dined here a few times over the years. Most recently, for lunch and special occasions. I'm…read moresurprised I haven't reviewed this place yet. This local gem is worth a visit for lunch or dinner. The menu offers classic Japanese fare to European (French & Italian) fusion with generous portions. Seasonal and weekday specials are also posted inside. They have a lunch menu and family-style courses priced per person. The full menu is available all day. A few of my favorite entrées are the Uni Spaghetti, Hamburg Steak with demi-glace sauce, Scallops Risotto, and Miso Black Cod when available. Their appetizers are also great, including beef tataki, Peking pork buns, and scallop carpaccio. For beverages, they offer beer, sake, wine, soju, refillable soft drinks, and more. I usually get one of the iced teas, either the iced green tea or the tropical passion iced tea. The dining area is small but cozy, with tables and counter seating perfect for solo diners. They may accommodate small to medium-sized parties, and reservations are recommended for dinner hours. The decor blends Japanese and European styles with a touch of California. I enjoyed coming for either lunch or dinner. The staff has always been kind and attentive. We've celebrated birthdays here, and they offer a complimentary birthday dessert of your choice. Prices are reasonable as well. Looking forward to another visit.

I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

4.5 !!!!!…read more I love love love loooooove Vietnamese food so much! It's become a top 3 cuisine for me! I either crave Spring rolls, Banh khot, Oxtail pho, egg rolls or egg noodle soup, viet wings and there's still many more things to try! One of my friends I met at personal training asked me out to lunch. We always eat well and this place was already on my list so I was game! Came in at a perfect time, right after a lunch rush. Sat down looked over the menu, pretty straightforward. Service was lovely, a little bit of language barrier but good nonetheless. We started with the Bot chien ( crispy rice cake with egg.) She asked if there was pork in the dish and they said no, she can't eat pork. It came out and it looked fantastic, looked like an omelet. I love eggy dishes! This was fantastic, definitely add a sauce like Sambal or Sriracha. We were off to a great start! But we came for the star of the show, Clay jar chicken with dry noodles!!! They set the bowls down and everything looked fantastic and smelled even better! A generous bowl of egg noodles, chicken and a side of broth in case you want to dip or just throw it in the bowl. We got to grubbin and it was instant love at first bite! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. We noticed these little cubes of tasty bits, we didn't know what they were because we didn't see it on the description, she already had a piece, we thought it was some sort of crispy bread crumb bits LOL. We asked the service and come to find out, it was crispy pork called Top Mo. We told them she can't have pork, they took the plate back. After a few minutes they came back. She asked is it a new dish or did you just pick them out. They picked them out. This is where the language barrier came into play. They didn't understand for a bit. I said she can't have pork because of her religion. That's when it clicked! Thank the Lord! Out came a fresh porkless new bowl and she could enjoy with me. They should've given me her previous bowl to go LOL I'm the pork Queen LOL. Overall a fantastic meal and I've been thinking about this meal for awhile. I need a reunion stat!!! Just so many good Vietnamese dishes in the area, it's hard to choose! I will be back!!!

The spice level was…read morejust right, and honestly, the food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture before I finished it. The cashier was super friendly and even recommended a few other items to try. I was only there for the pad Thai this time, but I'll definitely keep those recommendations in mind for next time. And the Thai tea? Amazing. It was a little on the sweeter side, but still really good. I usually get Thai tea with boba, but even without it, this one definitely hit the spot. Great food, friendly service, and I'll definitely be back!

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!

Got the news a few hours ago and still feel numb. Had to drive up there to make sure the rumors…read morewere true, i owed it that much, and my heart sank when i saw the paper on the windows. The lights weren't on and no one was home. I've lost count of the amount of times i've nursed myself back to health on a Sunday after a night of heavy bag ripping with a chicken pad Thai, ribeye pho and intermittent wanking. I will be forever grateful that i went there recently for one last dance. Had i known it would be the last time i would ever eat there i would've savored the experience even more than i did at the time. I may even have tipped. I plan on crying that it's over AND smiling that it happened. This one stings

A solid fast, casual spot for Asian fusion eats that's actually open late in Cypress! When it's…read moreafter 9pm in the area, there usually aren't very many options besides fast food, so I'm glad that you can get some good late night food here! They're open until 12:15am every day! For starters, we got their Chile-Lime Cauliflower, and it is so good! The chile-lime vinaigrette is really what makes it! I have never enjoyed cauliflower so much! I only wish they would cut the cauliflower into slightly smaller pieces so it's a little easier to eat. But other than that, highly recommend this dish! I wanted something warm and comforting, so I got their Ribeye Pho. It comes in a pretty big bowl with tenderized sliced ribeye steak, noodles, and all of the pho fixings. Will be back to try some of their other Asian fusion dishes!

My friend and I wanted to check out this place for a while, so we decided to go together. We were quickly greeted and allowed to choose any available table to sit at. It seemed like it was one of the slower days (understandable since it was triple digits weather outside). Upon searing, we were shortly offered water and what seemed liked a creamy corn soup. It was tasty. The servers were very friendly, and they cane by regularly to check on us. My friend ordered a few nigiri's for herself, but I wanted to check out the rising sun combo. The presentation was pretty amazing. The fish tasted good too, no fishy smell whatsoever, and I thought the tuna was almost translucent and quite pretty to look at. Personally. my favorite was the salmon with the bright citrus garnish. Very yummy. Other than that, I also ordered myself an apple chu-hi and thought it was very refreshing and quite easy going down. I really liked that. Their menu is extensive though, so I'll have to come back and check out the others that caught my eye :)

They even have a great buy one specialty roll, get the second 50% off deal, which made it even better. The highlight of our dinner, though, was definitely our server, Kyle! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and polite, and he gave us some great recommendations. We ended up trying the Jeffrey Roll based on his recommendation, and it was fantastic! Great sushi, great value, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Kyle will be our server again!

Oh my gosh!!!! This food was DELICIOUS! Never mind a diet when you come here…read more I created my own little combo with lobster, shrimp, and potatoes. The lobster wasn't included in one of the regular seafood combos, so I ordered it separately and added everything I wanted. I chose the Fire Crab seasoning, which I believe is a combination of their different seasonings, and it was so flavorful! I've been to several seafood-boil restaurants, but Fire Crab is easily one of the best I've had. The restaurant itself is cute, clean, and well kept. Most of the seating is booth-style, which makes it nice for families or even a casual little date night. The music wasn't too loud, and they also have a large screen if you want to watch TV or sports. I even used the restroom, and it was very clean and nicely maintained. The waitstaff was also very friendly and welcoming. I arrived around dinnertime at 5:45 p.m., and it wasn't crowded at all, thank goodness, because I was hungry! Overall, I really enjoyed everything, the food, atmosphere, service, and cleanliness. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm craving some really good seafood!

It tasted more bitter. The server did add more cream to sweeten it, which helped, but overall, I did not enjoy their Thai tea. I had the beef salad and updated to the ribeye meat option as the beef is supposed to be more tender. However, the meat didn't taste "more tender". The beef salad was also salty. We also had the tom yum noodle soup and larb salad. Upon looking at the larb salad, you can already tell that it was going to be salty, as other larb salad is not usually that saucy. And sure enough, the larb salad was salty, as well as the tom yum noodle soup. Restaurant itself was relatively small, it had simple decor, parking was easy, and staff were attentive and the overall prices were reasonable. However, the food was way too salty, making it difficult to even finish the meal.

I like xiao long bao in general, so it was a surprise to see a restaurant so close to where I live that had a very well-made one. In addition I also tried out their Dan Dan Noodles which is spicy with sichuan peppers, but they make everything mild enough that the sichuan is more like "a hint of" than actually strong, in your face sichuan. Appreciated that level of mildness without sacrificing taste. It was also convenient they have a milk tea menu so we didn't have to go somewhere else afterwards for milk tea. The venue itself is pretty large but the seating is a little cramped, but nothing super uncomfortable or anything. I wend on a Sunday evening and our wait time was only 5 minutes, but most other times it's empty unless it's a Saturday. I would come back here for a weekday one-off meal for sure if I'm nearby and craving for xiao long bao again!
