Solid food, good service…read more We started with the brussel sprouts and the gyozas. I really enjoyed the brussels- crisp and flavorful. The gyozas were pan fried- which I know a lot of people enjoy, but I don't. Too oily for my taste. One complaint is that I was expecting the squid ink pasta to be fresh/homemade pasta but it wasn't. I still enjoyed the sauce though. I wish the sauce was more of a sauce and less of a broth... it was a tad on the watery side and didn't stick to the pasta that well... a little hard to eat. Salmon was also slightly dry- it very much needed the sauce for some added moisture. Me and my friend came at around 5:15 on Monday and there was no wait- the restaurant was completely empty but started to fill up as we were on the way out. Overall, all of the food was fine though I'm not sure I would return.

I'm borderline addicted to this place! This is a fantastic place to get a quick meal and drink, and…read moreis it delicious! I personally love their ramen, their build-your-own rice bowls, and their strawberry fruit green tea with strawberry boba, but that's just the beginning of what they have here. I also really like their online ordering system, because then I can just put in what I want, how I want it, and then go to the pick-up counter to get it. Wonderful for a picky eater like me! I've never eaten in the restaurant, but there is ample seating and it is always clean. Very much worth the trip every time!

Good spot to study and a wide array of unique snacks!…read more I have tried a poke bowl here as well as their lychee tee with boba. The poke was rather mediocre. I prefer Poke lava. There was hardly any fish in my poke bowl. My tea was okay, though I asked for 0 sugar it still tasted quite sweet. Boba was fine. A little annoying that they charge you extra for a hot tea vs a cold one. I wouldn't recommend their poke but will likely return to try another drink on their menu and perhaps pick up some of their snacks.

I also love being able to order on a screen. Our food was ready pretty quickly. It's a small space inside, but we found seating without issues. There isn't any outside seating. It was hot, so we tried to pick lighter options. My friend got the chicken karaage on rice, which was the perfect option. I got a hot chicken soup, which was absolutely delicious. The noodles were perfect and the broth was salty and flavorful. The meals weren't too expensive either. It was a great lunch option!

Truthfully I'd give it four stars but when I saw that Oishii Bowl only has three stars overall I…read morewas shocked because it deserves better imo. I actually like the ramen/soups here more than the ramen at Maru Ramen. Each soup dish has a distinctive flavour and imo some taste better than others. One soup dish that never misses is the Veggie ramen. Chewy green noodles and a ginger miso broth with the perfect ratio of toppings to noodles. Perfection. Stick to the entree options. If you really want some kinda side dish go for the sweet sticky rice. This is a casual no-frills sit down spot. If you eat in the shop they've got free hot tea that you can dispense in cups. Service is quick.

Make sure to get there early to stock up on fresh baked goods-- they are too many options and it's all hard to pick from--so to help you out just buy one of each... you can't go wrong with the mochi pudding bun. Delicious! It has the chewy texture you love with the warm comfort of a bun coating. Prices are reasonable, produce is fresh. Aisles were clean and everyone working was nice. I was particularly excited to see they had various citrus plants for sale that were already fruiting! I didn't grab one this time but I do already regret it. It's hard to find mature plants like that. Parking was easy, there were plenty of spaces available. Accessible to those who need it as well.

Some of my favorites include their Soon Doobu Jjigae, Rabokki, Bibim Bap, Bul Go Gi. This time I also got their Dduk Mandoo Gook, which I've gotten before, and also enjoy. The service is also prompt and attentive. I also like the interior as well. It's clean and warmly decorated with Korean fixtures.

I ordered the soondubu with beef which arrived within the next 5 minutes or so. It came bubbling and steaming hot and with a bowl of semi-warm fluffy white rice. There was a generous amount of soft tofu but the beef was scant. The flavors overall were decent and satisfied my hot-soup cravings on this cold rainy afternoon. I also particularly enjoyed the curry potato banchan that had a hint of sweetness to the savory flavors, but the others (boiled broccoli, bean sprouts, fish cakes) were just ok.

I've had brunch, lunch, and dinner at MIX, and all with varying levels of enjoyment. My recent…read morebrunch experience included ordering a Where the West Begins omelette, which includes "Braised short rib, butternut squash, red onion jam, spinach, smoked gouda". I wasn't sure how to feel about butternut squash with everything else (I'm not necessarily a huge squash fan - but I'm trying to learn to enjoy it), but the omelette was decent... it's the other side on my plate that looked less than appetizing. The biscuit was still covered in flour (and who wants to bite down on a clump of flour?), the cheddar hashbrown casserole lacked in flavor, and the brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal just... wasn't doin' it for me. Other recent experiences have been similar... there's usually one item on the plate that's flavorful or imventive (sometimes a main dish, sometimes a side), and the other parts of the plate are lacking. In reality, I think MIX is suffering a bit from rising food costs and inconsistency in their service and offerings. They've also changed the style of their menu from the original tapas-style to now being more typical entree options. Again... they've lost some of their innovative, experimental approach. In terms of ambiance, it really depends. I've been here for a work event and, because of the number of people, it was SO LOUD... they had also done a buffet offering for the event. As you can imagine, the food from the buffet was lacking, but that's often what happens when you're more mass producing your food (and it's left in a chafing dish, trying to be kept warm). On the other hand, I've been here for a dinner on a random night and was able to enjoy one of their Thai noodle bowls (and split some other apps with friends). The reality is that experiences at MIX are... well... a mix. Whether service, menu offerings, etc., I've found MIX's recent inconsistencies to be a disappointment. Will probably only visit in the future if it's suggested by others.
