I didn't expect it to be quick service order at the counter. There is an inside and a patio, we sat outside and it was very tranquil. I got the chicken sandwich plain & dry. It was good chicken but a pretty thin meat patty. I highly recommend the queso & chips! Also everything has a little bit of spice, so if you aren't into that I would skip this place. But overall it was chill, especially for the domain if you were looking for a quick bite to eat somewhere not-too-fancy!

Somehow, against all odds, Ramen Del Barrio still exceeds its reputation. There's only one vegan ramen option but it's all you need, both in terms of portion size and flavor. I've never had anything quite like the mole tsukemen, a Tex-Mex mashup pairing rich mole broth served separately from handmade noodles so thick, you might mistake them for udon at a glance. Simple toppings of fried tortilla strips, avocado, charred jalapeno, and caramelized onions adorn the top. Before this moment, I thought I just wasn't a fan of mole. It turns out, I had never tried great mole before. This stuff dazzles with layered spices, melded so well that I can't pick a single one out from the pack. It's not overwhelmingly hot, but definitely leaves your lips tingling. I'm glad I finally got there before they close up shop at their current location in Hana World Market on December 21st, and even happier to know that their new brick-and-mortar isn't too far behind. I'll be there as soon as the doors open!

I'm a big fan of the spicy beef noodles. Love the bouncy chewy noodles with the fresh bok choy. You can see the photos I took the soft, long cooked braised beef cuts. I am very surprised the beef is very tender extremely tender and love the the big cuts of gelatinous goodness. Tendons for capital T for tender. The broth has a strong beef flavor and overall great dish. The pad Thai on the other hand, it's a good attempt at Pad Thai but in my opinion is too sugary. Love the noodles with the peanuts on top. You have the soft noodles with the crunchy peanuts. It adds a nice contrast of crunchy and soft at the same time. You can see the sliced carrots and the beef. I also added chicken. It's a good dish, but it's in my opinion missing more bean sprouts and it needed more tamarin sauce. More fish sauce, and it would've been nice to add stirfry basil so you could taste the basil leaves when you stirfry it. It's also missing eggs. Maybe I didn't see any of it. I didn't taste any eggs or it was just covered in sauce, but who knows it was still good. I ate the whole thing.

We got the spicy stir-fried handmade noodles with beef and hot and sour soup dumplings with pork and cabbage. The soup dumplings were a bit too sour for my taste. The dough was really good, but the flavor just wasn't for me, so I wouldn't order these again. The handmade noodles, were good! They had a great chewy texture and lots of flavor with a little heat. At first, I thought they were a bit skimpy on the meat, but then I discovered most of it was hiding at the bottom. The ratio was definitely a little off, but once I mixed everything together, it was great. I'll definitely come back for the spicy beef noodles.

I was lucky to be able to grab the last one! * beef bugulgi glass noodles: 3/5 it was leaning on the very sweet side. If this dish was less sweet and balance a little bit more soy it will be perfect. * marinated eggs: 4/5 great for rice and extra protein! * braised potatoes: 4/5 it leaned on the sweeter side * marinated tofu: 5/5 very yummy with rice and it was not spicy. * spicy pork bowl: 5/5 loved it! I just wish there was a bit more broccoli than just 3 pieces . I love the purple rice and everything was cooked to perfection. Healthy meal and very reasonable priced! Good bowl size * beef bugulgi bowl: 3/5 beef was shaved very thin where it was breaking apart. Meat was very little compared to the amount of rice. It was less flavorful compared to the spicy pork which was well seasoned. * rice sticks in red sauce: 5/5 best to eat it when it's fresh. The texture and sauce is so well balance. It's not spicy but the sauce is what makes this dish and highlight the rice sticks! So good! And the best I've had! Do I recommend this place? Yes! Come support this 2 year old family business!

Honestly, when I'm craving khao mun gai but don't want to drive that far to the usual spot everyone thinks of--I truly think this spot is a great alternative.

They are in a "soft opening" phase currently, and we got to meet the owner who was very enthusiastic about his business, the community, and garnering any feedback we had. The food is - in one word, impeccable. We went in for a snack and ended up ordered 4x as much as we meant to because everything was so darn delicious. The menu consists of baos, sushi, hand rolls, adorable pearl shaped nigiri, bento, and more - they are all customizable with yummy sauces (miso butter - mmm!), and many types of protein (seriously like all the protein options you can find at a premium sushi bar). Everything is served with house made sauces so if you are a condiment gal/guy like me this is your place! Food - I had the escolar, unagi, and scallop hand rolls (all under $5 each) and was so surprised by the quality / freshness of the protein and the portions given. The escolar was so soft and buttery. I then ordered the shrimp fresh roll (also under $5, it was HUGE) and the chicken katsu baos (around $6-7) - they were amazing. The chicken tenders are panko crusted and fried crispy. BF tried the steak baos and LOVED them too. Okay also did I mention the PRICES?! You can't get quality food like that for a greater deal. Drinks are all $8 and hit the spot :) The interior is not completely redone / set up yet but I can't to come back when it is! The phone / QR code system makes it so easy to order.

It is pretty cheap, but the serving sizes match the price, not really filling you up. The baos were pretty good. The char siu pork belly didn't look the most appealing. But it smelled and tasted pretty decent. They give you a good amount of meat too. The turmeric chicken was pretty good too, I really liked the seasoning on this one. The sushi was ok though. The presentations was super cute, with the little sushi balls! But the fish itself didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. The workers were all really friendly though. You can practically see inside the whole kitchen when you walk in, so it's a little unsettling walking in and seeing all the workers like standing there waiting for you to put your order in online, but interacting with them, they were really friendly.
