Not a stranger to the Tasty Pot franchise but it was my first time at this location and it checks…read moreall the boxes! My husband and I came in at 2pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. The table was a little sticky (not sure from what) but the seats were comfortable. We were served complimentary sweet tea (black or green) which was a nice plus - you don't get this at every location. The drinks were quite sweet but had a very good tea flavor. I ordered #2 Lamb Hot Pot and hubby got #9 Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Pot both with medium spice. I personally did not experience much spice at this level so I will probably get very spicy next time. We also added the mala skewers which is my husband's favorite and again this is not available at all locations. Did not have to wait too long for our hot pot but did have to wait a little longer for the skewers. I do see this as a good sign as it hints they're not pre-made. Great assortment of skewers with generous mala sauce and flavor. Hot pot is packed with ingredients with generous serving out meat. I can finish the entire thing but if you have a smaller appetite you might want to share. I recommend asking for noodles on the side as it risks them getting soggy. Service was good here and we were extremely satisfied with our meal. We will definitely be back!

4.5/5 stars, would come back! The soup was very flavorful, this was my first time trying hotpot and…read moreI think it was a great introduction I think it took around 15-20 for my food to come out, but I wouldn't fault the restaurant for that since I was dining in a large party + it was a busy night. The waiters were very attentive and kind despite the busyness too. I guess my only dislikes are that I didn't enjoy the ambiance-- there was only one TV on, and all it played was clips of Naruto, so there wasn't much to do while you waited. The decor, lighting and music could have been better too, but these issues aren't big enough to stop me from coming back. 4.2/5, would recommend! TL;DR: - Food: 4.8/5 - Service: 4.8/5 - Ambiance: 4/5

They also gave the option to eat outside as well but it was so hot! So we waited a little longer to sit inside. The crispy egg rolls were so crunchy! There was also a lot of filling inside. The bunbohue was so flavorful but it wasn't that spicy. They also have pretty good amount of meat. However, the grilled pork spring rolls were not my favorite item because the pork tasted slightly bland and the sauce didn't have that much peanut taste.

They had these ponzu injectors for sauce which was super neat. The service is really fast and attentive and had no issues with that and our order came out super quick and we ate it in no time. The ambiance had an upbeat which is good to go with family or friends. Definitely a must try and must go if you're eating any type of ramen!

Pan-Fried Glass Noodle / Miến Xào Tôm Cua. Super delicious, lots of shrimp and little pieces of crab meat. It does have a lot of veggies and... wasn't a lot of noodles. but it was actually evenly sorted out after I mixed it. I came in on a weekday 6 PM, it wasn't that busy. The staff were very friendly, I approached the counter to order my takeout. The lady wanted me to sit down while I wait so that was super nice of her. It did talk about 20 minutes which was expected. Lots of parking, the place is very clean and organized. I would definitely come back.

Usually I would opt to order a ramen shop's specialty, such as the Maru Ramen, which I believe I had previously, and I remembered it being pretty good. The vegan tantanmen had a vegan broth, mushrooms, fried burdock, grilled eggplant, and other toppings. The mushrooms and fried burdock made the ramen really good. I wished I had more grilled eggplant! I did not miss the meat at all with this dish. The vegan broth was surprisingly rich for being vegan. Service was very nice. The restaurant is connected to MooMoo, so you can walk right through there. There is also plenty of seating. Outside there is also plenty of parking. Overall, I would highly recommend Maru!

Portion size is decent and getting some extra noodle is nice is you are sharing with someone. I had the tantanmen and black garlic tonkatsu. The tantanmen was decent and added corn was a nice touch of texture. Big slices of chasu is always a plus in my book. The black garlic tonkatsu was really bitter and I'm assuming it's from over cooked garlic or the burnt side of the chasu. It's definitely a skip unless you like that taste. Overall the place is average, the inside is nice if you are out with friends. Would go back and try a few other things next time.

Saigon Oi is located in the heart of South Sac's Little Saigon district…read more Parking can be tight so what hubby did was drop us off while he circled the complex. It's a pretty popular restaurant so joining the waitlist on Yelp helps to get in the queue. When we got there, we were already on the Yelp waitlist so our wait wasn't really long. For this visit, we had the following: Dishes - Ribeye steak and Vietnamese shaking beef, Crispy Fish Sauce chicken wings both served with red rice. Drinks - Kumquat lemongrass tea and coconut coffee Their food is really good, reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and friendly, definitely provided great service. Atmosphere was lively but not loud. Simply decorated. There's a small space for waiting customers. Definitely highly recommended when you're in this area but be prepared for the wait especially on a high peak day like the weekends. August 2026

I let the waiter know and I figured they would just make a new one, but they came back with the exact steak (I've cut them as I thought it might have been just some pieces that were blue.) but it was the exact steak just thrown on the fire for longer then returned back to me. Weird choice by the chef.

First the good: the rib finger meat was pretty good, I like the tenderness with a slight chewiness…read more Flavor was good in the marinade. We ordered this a few times during dinner. The La galbi had good flavor as well. The soy garlic beef belly was okay, not bad but nothing set it apart. The banchan apps were good but the japchae was was really good to me. The kimchi was bland tho, made me sad because I love good kimchi. The bad: soda machine was light on a couple sodas I ordered. Later on in the meal they reset the root beer soda so I really appreciate the service for that. The vent hood was really low and blocked cooking at times but we understand why it's there. Some dishes were a bit odd like the popcorn chicken, which was mostly crumbs like the bottom of a movie popcorn bucket. Service was solid, Brandon our server was nice and gave us good recommendations. We would return and hopefully I can give them more stars on my next visit.

This was our first time trying this KBBQ spot. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of tables…read moreand a bar area where you can sit and watch sports. The lighting inside was bright and welcoming as well. We had a party of eight, and I liked that they seated us with two grills, which made cooking much easier for our group. We did have to wait about 10 minutes for a table, though I wasn't sure why since there appeared to be several open tables. Dinner AYCE is $37 per person. One thing I didn't like was how low the exhaust vent hangs over the grill. It made cooking a bit difficult. We raised it higher, but the staff lowered it again because there was too much smoke. The AYCE experience includes a two-hour dining limit, and you can order up to three appetizers and three protein selections at a time. The beef selection included many of the same cuts we usually order at other KBBQ restaurants. While the quality was decent, some of the marinades were underwhelming. For example, the soy garlic beef belly was topped with sliced garlic but didn't have any of the "soy" on it . The marinated finger ribs had a nice texture and chew, but I could barely taste any marinade. The LA galbi was one of the better options, and my orders were not overly fatty. The popcorn chicken looked like it came straight from the bottom of the bucket. Most of it was tiny crumbs and fried bits rather than actual pieces of chicken. I also appreciated that the pineapple was fresh rather than canned. The scallion salad was another highlight--it included lettuce and scallions tossed in a light soy-based dressing. Our server, Brandon, was excellent. Since it was our first visit, he provided helpful recommendations and made the experience more enjoyable. Service was efficient, and our food arrived quickly throughout the meal.

Their beef Pad Thai is hands down my favorite because it's packed with flavor, the beef is always tender, and I've honestly never had a better Pad Thai anywhere else! We also ordered the papaya salad and the beef larb. The papaya salad was fresh and tasty, though I think it could use a little more shrimp paste for an even deeper flavor. The beef larb, on the other hand, was amazing as always! perfectly seasoned and one of my favorite dishes on the menu. I've dined in several times over the years, and the service has always been quick, friendly, and welcoming. It's one of those places that's consistently great, whether you're eating in or ordering takeout. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving delicious, authentic Thai food!

I've ordered the boat noodle, the tamarind shrimp and the pad see ew. The tamarind shrimp was just okay. The cook on the shrimp was good but the tamarind sauce was too sweet for my taste and the broccoli was over cooked and unnecessary in my opinion. The boat noodle was solid. Flavorful and beefy and the noodles had amazing texture. Not a stand out dish in my opinion but solid. The pad see ew has been my favorite dish from this restaurant so far. The portion is HUGE and they don't skimp on the protein. Flavor is a tad sweet for me but if you add sambal or chili oil it's pretty darn good. Definitely the highlight dish for me. I'll definitely be coming back to try more.
