    1/2 Ciabatta Cheesesteak with Cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup ($14.78). Bag of chips or baguette included.
    Mike W.

    I'm a little surprised by the low Yelp rating (2.7 Stars at the time of my review). This location is always busy at lunchtime. Service is friendly and the food is good. They have a self-order kiosk, or you can order in-person at the counter, which is my preference (I like speaking with someone). Grab your pager, find a table, and wait to be buzzed. You do have to pick up your own food, but that's not too bad. I especially love their Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and usually do the half sandwich/cup of soup combo, which comes with a bag of chips or a baguette.

    I often come to this place to eat because it's close to my child's school. A lot of people also come here to work on their laptops, and if you're a student at Mt. SAC, chances are you've been here too. They offer unlimited coffee and drinks, which you can help yourself to, and the monthly membership fee is very affordable--I think it's much cheaper than renting a co-working space. The staff here are also very friendly. As for the food, I think it's decent, though during peak mealtimes the wait can be a bit long. Sometimes groups of students also gather here. I usually end up coming several times a month. You know what's really interesting? There's an older gentleman who always comes in with lots of bottles and secretly fills them up with coffee to take home. Every time he comes, he does it in this mysterious way, but he takes a lot of coffee. Even though the drinks are unlimited, it's not really meant for you to take home. I think the staff recognize him, but he's just way too blatant about it. People like that can really ruin the spirit of having "unlimited" drinks.

    I've never been the biggest fan of Panera, but my opinions may have changed. Ordered take out and got the Spicy Steak Asiago Bagel Stack and Balsamic Chicken Greens with grains salad! 5/5 for steak bagel 5/5 for the salad Was pleasantly surprised!

    This was a good spot for me to go to during lunch, when I was still working at one of the schools that wasn't far from here. They seem to be quite organized with the way they handle their orders, and I don't find myself waiting any longer than 5 minutes. You can help yourself with your own hot coffee and cold beverages, so it's quite convenient. Honesty, I'm not that big of a fan of the menu items, because they never really have anything I like besides the asiago bagel sandwiches. These sandwiches are like my favorite thing here. I prefer the chicken over the spicy steak. There's a good amount of room in this location, and it's overall a nice place.

    Is the patio area in the back opened for outdoor dining? Thanks.

    It's not--I was wondering myself so when I went there this morning, I asked the manager. But who knows--it may open up eventually since the COVID situation seems to change often. Hope that helps!

    Is there a delivery service associated with you? Example?

I guess it used to be a Japanese restaurant, but it always looked so fancy on the outside that when I was in MS/HS/college, it looked too bougie to go to. Now 15 years later and with paltry income, I can treat my mom to lunch here! They're open at 11 AM, but we went in at around 10:50 AM since the Open sign was turned and the Open lights were one. Worker there greeted us with a smile, checked up on us the entire time, refilled our waters, brought us bowls to help us split food even when not prompted, and had a smile on the entire time. For the hour that we were there, a single diner came in and a party of 8 as well. They have a written wait list in front and a to go order kiosk, so you can tell they're pretty popular. Both of us got custom pho, which is $17 (the lowest base price unless you get plain) and you get an option of 3 proteins. Add an extra $1 for fresh noodles. We both just opted for the classic thin noodles. I ordered without beansprouts thinking it was already going to be in our broth, but it comes out as a side dish but the plate was enough for my mom and I to share. HUGE portions of pho. The bowl size is easily a large at any other pho restaurant. Both of us finished all of the meat in our order, but there was still a decent amount of noodles left so come in hungry. I ordered my custom pho with beef brisket, flank, and rib eye. Some of the cuts were a bit more fattier with big chunks of chewy gooey fat, which I'm not a fan of and left in the bowl. Other than that, pretty good meat quality. Not the most tender, but not tiny pieces or too dry either. Broth was pretty flavorful, nice depth of taste with the beef stock flavor, the onions and other garnishes. It's a bit fatty in taste, but it makes it richer in my opinion. We got a regular fried rice to try and take home for my brother's lunch. It's a plain one with carrots, peas, and scrambled eggs with some onions, garlic, and pepper (the spice). Light in flavor so it's not mega greasy. Just add some sauce on the side to taste. Overall, not a bad experience.

My favorites were the Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. Both are considered spicy dishes but I have a weak spicy tolerance and I did not think that they were spicy at all! The pan fried dumpling skirt was crispy and instantly melts in your mouth. The xiao long baos have a small amount of soup within and the cucumber salad was so refreshing. The food comes out quick! The staff work quick to ensure you get all of your food fast.

The sesame peanut noodles have been disappointing the last three times I've ordered them. They barely add any sauce anymore, so the noodles taste bland. Instead, they throw in a ton of minced garlic and especially minced ginger, which completely overpowers the dish. It doesn't taste anything like it used to. The service has also gotten worse. I asked an employee in Spanish if I could have a straw. She acted like she didn't understand me, so I asked again in English, and she still said she didn't understand. I just said never mind. But a few minutes later, my aunt asked the same employee in Spanish for more water, and suddenly she understood perfectly. That honestly left me confused. The employees also come off as rude and unfriendly. Then, when it's time to pay, they practically shove the tablet in your face while standing there watching you. We were a party of four, yet there was a $16 gratuity added, and on top of that they asked us how much extra tip we wanted to leave. It feels like you're being pressured into tipping twice instead of it being your choice. It's honestly sad because this place used to be so good. I've noticed fewer people eating there lately, and if the food quality and customer service keep getting worse, I can see why. I hope management takes this seriously and brings Thumbling back to what it used to be.

The young woman working immediately acknowledged us before we even finished writing our info down and asked how many were in our party. We said two, and she told us to go ahead and start building our bowls. The concept is pretty cool and very straightforward. You grab a bowl and tongs, then walk through the different sections choosing your ingredients. They had a good variety of veggies, noodles, meats, seafood, tofu, etc. Pricing is by weight at $15.99/lb. Once you finish building your bowl, you head to the cashier where they weigh it and you choose your broth and spice level. The broth selection was surprisingly huge, around 15 options if I remember correctly. I got the Tom Yum broth mild spice, and my girlfriend got the Organic Miso mild spice. We also added jasmine green tea and white rice for $1.99 each. After ordering, they give you a table number and you can head over to the self-serve sauce station while your food is being prepared. The sauce bar had ponzu, sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, Tabasco, scallions, cilantro, red onion, satay sauce, shallots, minced garlic, chili powder, chili oil, and more. The soups came out quickly and were served over a live flame at the table, which was a nice touch. Both broths were excellent. Even at mild spice, there was still a pleasant kick. The broth itself had good body and flavor and didn't taste watery at all. Service was also great. The server checked on us consistently, kept drinks refilled, and was attentive without hovering. The restaurant itself is pretty small, maybe around 8 tables, but it felt cozy rather than cramped. Nice interior, comfortable temperature, clean setup, and the vibe was relaxing. They were playing bossa nova versions of 2000s and modern hits which honestly fit the atmosphere perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Great value, fun experience, and genuinely good hot pot.

It would have been better though if their rice is fluffier not a bit dry. Another comment for improvement is to be generous with those special higher priced pieces like the Crabmon and chunkier pieces of salmon like in the photo. After we have eaten, we ordered another batch to take home. Yes, definitely a must to try and worth visiting again to get the other items to enjoy. Hopefully next time we go, the rice will be better and bigger topping portions that's fair for its price.
