    Hard 63. General Tso's Chicken
    Davion H.

    Ordered for lunch, cause I was craving general Tsos. I was pretty disappointed in what I got. Ordered the lunch special with general Tso and chicken fried rice with a lemon tea. The tea was awesome, I love when restaurants have their own version of sweet tea. Took me back home for a second. The general Tsos wasn't good at all. The meat seemed to be very burnt and crispy, as if they fried it to long. It was actually pretty inedible as it all stuck together and it was very tough to chew. The meat itself was a weird dark gray color that i am 100 percent not sure about haha. The fried rice was average, nothing special. I'm guessing they just had a off day? But with all the Chinese restaurants in the area this won't be one I will look at again.

    L22. Mongolian Beef Dinner

    I actually downloaded this app just to write this review. We got an order of Mongolian beef, Kung pao chicken and fried rice. The Mongolian beef - the box wasn't even half full. The Kung Pao chicken - had 3 pieces of chicken. For $47 I feel like they could have Atleast filled the box. When I called to ask if this was normal that the box was half empty the girl told me not to order from there restaurant again! I promise my life I will never order from you.. and I will never suggest that anyone order from here. Horrible customer service. Horrible food. Should be ashamed of themselves for conducting business this way!

    Don't order take out. It's horrible. Go to the restaurant and actually order in. The food is delish I like the pepper shrimp it is a little salty but good. The pork fried rice is so mouth watering I also like the cookies they give you and the fortune cookies. There sodas are always ice cold which is so good The hours are kind of ok I wish they stood open a little later

    Mostly vegetables. This is all the vegetables. Hardly any meat. Bland and not flavorful at all!

    Mongolian Beef was HORRIBLE! Hardly any meat. Bland and mostly vegetables. Not worth it at all. There are better places around. Try them.

    I would pass up the physical location many times and never be interested in ordering. However, I had a craving and there are such poor Chinese options in North Center/RV, I gave them a shot. The egg roll is awesome. You can taste the five spice seasoning and it's a good size for an appetizer. That alone is worth a stop. I ordered pan fried noodles Singapore style with yellow curry since I love the rice noodle version. The noodles are very dry due to cooking method and it was overwhelmingly salty. These noodles are better suited for gravy dishes, and I have some unsalted chicken stock it will probably go into. The new style Mongolian beef came with a good variety of fresh and canned vegetables like broccoli, green peppers, and water chestnut. I've noticed a lot of restaurants put the same vegetables in every dish. New China's kung pao chicken had celery, zucchini, and of course peanuts. Both dishes were heavily sauced and seasoned well. Overall, this isn't the best Chinese take out I've had, but it definitely isn't the worst. If you have a good recommendation around North Center, please PM me!

    Fried rice tasted burnt. Eggrolls were tasteless. Jasmine said his Mongolian beef was sweet. We will not be ordering again.

I was sold after finding out its a Viet cajun seafood boil spot - plus it has really good reviews. I recommend making a reservation cause they can get busy. I like how they write your name on the reserved table - a nice touch. Also parking in the area is scarce so plan accordingly. They have a decent happy hour menu so we were able to take advantage of that! We shared the Lover's Cove for 2, then shared corn bread, garlic noodles, and the spicy cajun fries. The seafood combo only came with 1 lobster tail which is a bummer. We got the crab pad style (cajun) sauce. The sauce was fire. Compared to other seafood boils, this one wasn't as super garlicky. To end the meal, we built our own popsicles with unlimited toppings! Great way to end the meal. Flavors they had were matcha, ube, cookies n cream, birthday cake, blue raspberry, etc.

The restaurant was definitely busy on a Friday night, and we made a reservation for a 7:45 seating and were taken to our table right away. We loved the play on an old neighborhood bar with the fun red and white glass chandeliers that you would find at any watering hole in the city. Funny enough, we discovered Void via a Tik Tok video and came specifically to try the Agnolotti. This is by far one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The sweet potato paired with ricotta, kimchi, scallion and toasted sesame are an amazing touch and play on this type of pasta. We additionally ordered both the house made focaccia and the Spaghetti Uh-O's. These two items are definitely what Void is known for, and we loved both of them. The focaccia was super fresh, and the side of butter with honey was incredible. The spaghetti came in a fun little branded can, which of course added a nice touch to the dish. We ordered several cocktails on their menu, and were so full by the end that we did not order the dessert. The staff was super friendly during the entirety of our time at the restaurant. One item we wished we try was the chicken, which happened to be one of the staff's favorite. We will definitely be back to try that soon. Cheers!

We had the flat iron steak, the chicken, and the salmon and each entree was wonderful. The proteins were all very tender and juicy. I was also very pleased with the salad that came first which was lightly dressed and very seasonal. We finished our dining experience with a slice of cheesecake. It was a nice cap to the end of a wonderful meal. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion - I would love to come back and try some of the other items on their menu.

The ambiance is intimate, romantic, and just feels exclusive without trying too hard. I took my girl there for her birthday and she absolutely loved it -- which is always the real test. We had the ribeye and the Rotini Bianco, and both were excellent. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. The Rotini Bianco was rich, creamy, and done just right. Every dish felt intentional and well executed. Don't hesitate to book. If you're trying to impress or celebrate something special, this is the move.
