    Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt - there is some avocado in here somewhere.
    Angie A.

    I'm struggling with my choice to pick Panera as one of my places to frequent for lunch. Maybe I'll try another location next time. Sadly, employees must not be trained to at least cut the brown part off of the avocado. It was actually not ripe and I couldn't cut the avo with just a fork. Disappointing. The salad was still very tasty so I won't give up yet, just maybe dine in so I can address it then vs driving back to the office.

    A smashed croissant sandwich, I added some upgrades sandwich was almost $10 and very small
    Verloren S.

    ordered a croissant sandwich added some ham for $2.29. It already had bacon on it added some tomatoes and some sweet red peppers for free. When I received the sandwich, it looked like somebody had sat on. It definitely doesn't look like nothing on the picture.

    You pick two: Fuji apple salad and autumn squash soup with baguette
    Daisy S.

    Panera is my go-to during the fall season because of their autumn squash soup! I find every meal at Panera is consistent and filling. I tend to eat at this location with my coworkers a lot since their menu has something for everyone. This location is nice and big but still has a cozy vibe. You can order at the register or on a touch pad. The staff was friendly and efficient. My meal came out super fast! This time around I ordered their you pick two deal with the Fuji apple salad and the autumn squash soup with a baguette. I'm a sucker for their baguette. It's always so pillowy soft with a nice crispy exterior. Per usual, my meal was delicious!

    The staff here is awesome super friendly and attentive. Food is fresh and made as ordered. The dining room has various size tables and is very spacious, it is very quiet and can catch up on work here early in the morning. Just wished there was a Panera closer to home.

    The old picture of the asiago bagel, still on Panera's website. Totally misleading.

    When I picked up the asiago bagel, it did not look anything like the picture on the website. I asked the cashier and he said Panera changed it. There is only cheese in the middle now. It was gross. The old version was way better and I'm sad to see it gone. Will go somewhere else for asiago bagels.

    3.8 stars! This location delivers exactly what i expect from a panera. Ive ordered both pick-up and dine-in. Food quality has been consistent and love that each food item's nutritional values are available to be viewed. Staff always greet me and the place is clean.

    Mac and cheese bowl

    Reviewing this location for a Door Dash Order and I got the Mac & Cheese Bread bowl and a brownie. It's all right, though I just prefer the soups

    "You pick two" deal.  I chose half tuna sandwich and broccoli cheese soup.
    Sue S.

    IMHO I've always liked Panera Bread. This visit I had to take away a star rating. I ordered the U pic 2 special; My choice of a 1/2 tuna sandwich and a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. If you look at the picture I posted, you can barely see any tuna in the sandwich. I was disappointed in the small amount of tuna but the sandwich was still tasty. The Broccoli cheddar soup was good but not hot, only lukewarm. My friend's sandwich was missing arugula, so she brought it back. They made the correct sandwich and gave her a chocolate chip cookie treat for her trouble. Service was friendly and helpful as always. Thank you Daisy! Will I go back? Of course.

    Pre-cut marks on a "baguette"
    Heying D.

    Panera is always quite disappointing to me. I ordered a baguette online and when I opened it at home, I had to realize that it had pre-cut marks on it. Very disappointing and not inviting for my dinner plans. Also, I am asking myself whether these marks are used as serving size in restaurants - they were all of different sizes... Drinks are ok. Bathroom was clean. My online order of a fountain drink and a baguette took forever and they might have forgotten about it as I had to ask after waiting for 20mins.

This restaurant is a stand-alone building with its own parking lot which has ample parking spaces. Double wooden doors give a Japan vibe and so do the interior decorations. We came on a Saturday at noon. The restaurant was crowded but we were quickly greeted and seated right away. Water was served and orders were taken quickly. Our food came out super fast! And we gobbled on it in no time. The udon was freshly made and has a nice texture, not too chewy but not too soft. Just fresh and perfect! Even after being immersed in the soup for a long time, the udon noodles still maintained their flavor, shape and texture. We ordered the Tonkatsu Udon Deluxe and the Katsu Curry Udon. The soups were perfectly made! Light, full of flavors and not salty at all. Really authentic, in my opinion.

The broth is so flavorful and unique, and the texture of the udon is perfect. Spicy udon 10/10 So when they announced they were moving toward ramen, I totally understood why people were upset. I was heartbroken too. But I also felt bad seeing so many people leave negative reviews without even trying the ramen first. I've been a customer for years but review bombing a small business over a menu change just didn't sit right with me. I decided to give the ramen a try. Is it as unique as the udon? No. The udon is definitely what made this place stand out. But the ramen was still very good. The broth was porky, fatty, and creamy! The Chasiu could use some work. Classic Tonkatsu ramen 8.5/10 I'm really glad they listened to customer feedback and brought the udon back. I hope anyone looking at this Yelp page for the first time disregards the bad reviews and understands that is just how passionate people are about their udon! At the end of the day, I'm happy we get to have both. The spicy udon is still one of the best things I've eaten in the Bay and the ramen is absolutely worth trying too.

The concept might be simple but the possibilities are endless! I went absolutely overboard with my proteins (both beef and lamb), enoki mushroom, napa cabbage, tripe, baby corn, fish balls filled with roe and tofu skin. I saw that they had tofu mochi too and it was one of the best new things I decided to give a try. The bone broth was rich, flavorful and had that perfect mala kick with the numbing spice. I got mild flavor so it was not the kind of spicy that I could not tolerate. Each topping also soaked up all the flavorful broth. My friend got the medium spicy bone broth and that was packed a punch! I love how all the ingredients are fresh and fully restocked. The staff is very efficient.

On the positive side, they do offer a large variety of ingredients to choose from. When my bowl was served, I realized it wasn't the one I had ordered. They had accidentally switched my bowl with another customer's. Later, while eating, I came across some of the marinated cilantro beef, which looked raw. I asked the server if it could be cooked a bit longer, but she explained that it was supposed to be pink. I tried a small piece, but the texture was still very tender, which made me uncomfortable. It also didn't have the texture of what I expected from beef. My cousin also had an issue with her bowl. The lotus root slices were cut fairly thick, so after cooking, it was still undercooked and crunchy. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to the cleanliness concerns, the order mix-up, and the food quality. There are plenty of ingredient options, but I don't see myself returning.

He said it's more tasty with the cheese on it. Other than the meat, I'm not sure if I would come here for soup. The clear soups I've gotten here are so-so.

The meat was tender and juicy and there was so much of it as well. The base dish came with rice cakes but I should have ordered extra as most of it was gone half way through the meal. The Mul Naengmyeon was cold and refreshing, especially after eating the galbijjim. The restaurant itself is pretty small so the waiters do try to rush you along in order to turn over the tables, but they also worked very hard to make sure your meal was satisfying. They also packed away the left overs in a heat sealed container so it wouldn't spill in the car and keeps for a while in your fridge. Overall a very pleasant experience if you come early enough and don't have to wait in line.

There was a bit of a wait and you can waitlist on their ipad inside. We waited for about 20-30 minutes.    Before getting seated they ask if you want to do the normal hot pot style or AYCE. The AYCE runs for 90 minutes and is $24.99 during lunch and $30.95 during dinner time. They also charge for leftover food which is $6 per lb. We ended up doing the normal one pot hot pot for each person.    I always get my usual lamb hot pot which already comes with vermicelli noodles and choose rice as my free side dish. There are various levels of spiciness and I chose extra spicy which is a level down from there flaming spicy from what I can recall. Honestly it was not spicy enough but I did not want to get the spiciest level in fear that it would be too oily. Perhaps I will try that the next time to see if it is.    They have a bar further in the back of the restaurant where you can get creat your sauce and get some garnishes for your hot pot. I also noticed they have some other sides like noodles and such next to it. It seems if you are not participating in AYCE you can still get sauces and garnishes but I am not sure about the other sides.    The interior has changed from the last time I came here and it looks nice! Service was standard and everyone was nice. It does feel more chaotic now that they have AYCE but that  is understandable.
