    Food is good and reasonably priced. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but it's worth the elevator trip down.

The Sesame Chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I think by far, this one was my favorite dish. I also ordered the Crispy Chicken Bao and this was phenomenal. The way the spicy mayo complements the sweet and sour cucumber was scrumptious. The service was so friendly and attentive from walking in to sitting down. The owner (Angela's mother) was super sweet! The decorations are super cute and authentic. If you're looking for great Chinese-American cuisine with an elevated twist and an amazing ambiance, I highly recommend giving Songbird a try!

One of the highlights of the night was meeting the owner, Jason. We bonded over our shared Cantonese backgrounds and even got to meet his aunt, who was visiting from California and happened to be sitting next to us. It made the whole experience feel incredibly welcoming and personal. We ordered the Dynamite Roll, which was a solid choice with 8 generous pieces, and the Szechuan spicy wontons, which were juicy with just the right amount of heat. If you visit, definitely grab a seat at the bar. The bartenders are friendly, engaging, and really add to the experience. We were treated to a complimentary shot of Jäger with Jason and even got to sample their Lychee Pearl cocktail because the bartender had made an extra. The cocktails really stood out. Instead of masking everything with sugary juices, they use extracts and creative techniques to build balanced drinks that complement the flavors beautifully. Jason also mentioned that their cocktail specials change every month, so we already told him we'll be back regularly to see what new creations he comes up with.

    Wife and I decided to eat here on Valentine's Day with our 3 year old son. Not only was it…read moreValentine's Day, it was Saturday night. So we expected it to be a little bit busy. Well, it was not busy at all but deserved to be. Granted, it didn't have a "Valentine's Day"-dinner atmosphere, but still, it was a regular Saturday night with sports on TV. For the most part, the only patrons were around the bar. We were almost scared away by the sparse crowd, but we stayed and were glad we did. Food was good/great (shrimp quesadilla, burrito bowl, jambalaya, carrot cake) and delivered quickly and our waitress/hostess was attentive and thoughtful. She didn't rush us and stopped by a good number of times without being overbearing. She also seemed genuinely happy to be able to serve us. Prices are reasonable and maybe even a bit less than average. I believe only one other family sat in the dining area after we did. A few people came and got takeout while we were there. Would recommend if you're looking for a place that has a nice variety of food and maybe a little bit hidden away that some people might not know about (though I read in other reviews this place has been around a couple decades). We will be going back.

    I think the food here is a bit lackluster. The hostess we had was incredible, but at the end of the…read moreday the food was just meh. I do think if you get their specialty dishes you'll have a better time, but this place does do deals daily on certain items, which is what we did. The fajitas lacked flavor, the meat was tough. Also, the ambiance is like a sports bar, which is nice! I highly recommend getting drinks here, they were so tasty!

    Cool sports bar atmosphere. There is a lot of room on the inside. They do provide table service but…read moreit's not the fastest. The food is good though. I had Bang Bang Tacos, Birria Tacos and my comrades had burgers. The fries are good but not exceptional. The tacos are really good. I'm a birria guy and these are now my favorite from anywhere else I've been they were good. I will point out that the menu warns the tacos are big and so an order is for one taco. I got two, they aren't at big as I thought. I could have easily eaten 3 or 4. They don't come with a side. Burgers come with fries though. All in all good place. I'm gonna 4 star them. Would've been 5 but the table service speed was super slow. No pics.

    Burger Review: The Fat Elvis Is King! I came here purely for…read morea gathering of friends not planning to eat but after peeking at their menu and seeing their burger options I felt the need to try them out. Lots of options but the one that really stood out to me was one called "Fat Elvis", which comes stacked with American and cheddar cheese, spicy candied bacon, banana compote, and peanut butter. Yes, you read that right--peanut butter. This ain't my first rodeo trying peanut on a burger so trust me when I say somehow, it totally works. The sweet-and-savory combo is bold, a little outrageous, and absolutely delicious. The banana compote adds a warm, caramelized depth, the bacon brings a little heat and crunch, and the peanut butter ties it all together in the richest, most unexpected way. The patties themselves were juicy and cooked just right, and the bun held everything together without getting soggy. Bonus points for the generous portion--it's a two-hander for sure. I opted for a side salad instead of fries (balance, right?) and even that was fresh and full of color, topped with shredded cheese, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and crunchy croutons. The ranch dressing was a little thin and not quite as creamy as I'm used to but was good. Check out my photos if you want a visual warning of what you're getting into. Spoiler: it's a glorious mess, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. If you're into Elvis, wild flavor combos, or just love a burger that dares to be different, you need to try this. Side note: ended up ordering a bunch more food to go that I didn't get pictures of, wife got a CYO burger she devoured, I ordered some of their tacos which while a little pricey, the portion size and flavor of the quesabirria ones made up for it, even tried out some of their wings with the smoked lemon pepper dry rub and we're pretty solid even warmed up the next day. Lots of food options and may end up going back sometime to try some more things out. Service was great as well, place was jam packed but they had plenty of staff to stay attentive and keep things moving.
