You'll have to order your food from the QR code on the table. Remember to order a side of rice for your entree, it does not automatically come with one. The dining room is actually quite small and it got busy real fast by 7pm when we were half way through our meal, so we felt bad taking our time and staying longer to chat.

From our hot and sour soup, it was perfectly seasoned with vinegar and spices. Twice cooked pork- one of my favorite dishes to order, but it does come with a bunch of greens Boiled fish- they use a white fish where it doesn't have any fishy flavor, and in this Szechuan broth Eggplant- the eggplant is fried and then cook cooked in a savory sauce.

Very much enjoyed this experience and food!…read more Ambience - lovey decor, lots of brick wall, older decor Service - very attentive. We came in around 4 PM on a Sunday, got quickly seated, handed menus, water, etc. Food - overall very tasty. We were first served with warm up garlic bread, rolls, it was a pleasant surprise. The assorted tempura was light and crunchy. The gyoza had a crunchy outside, packed with flavor in the inside. The Hakata ramen is very flavorful (not to mention, very affordable these days). The tantanmen wasn't our favorite, I'll be honest. It kind of tasted more of a Sriracha flavor. Portions are pretty big, standard. Most places I can only eat half, and save the rest for lunch the next day. The desserts were delicious, I believe they were $4.95 each? The strawberry cake kind of reminded me of 85 bakery (if you're from California), but the flan was my favorite. The staff and other patrons have spoken in Japanese, it made me feel like I was in Japan again! Very memorable experience, will return again!

The noticeable drop in food quality makes me wonder if there has been a change in management or a new team in the kitchen. Given how underwhelming everything tasted, I likely won't be returning.

Drinks are so unique and flavorful. We tried the Temple T and the Roselle, yes. The Thai Tea is a classic. Not sure what the energy version is. For appetizers we tried the Dumplings, Mussels, Moo ping. I'd hold on the dumplings even tho they might be recommended. The mussels are in a Thai curry sauce. And the moo ping was the softest but not chewiest I've ever had. Good portions. For the entree, we tried the Chicken Pad Thai and the Panang Curry with braised beef. The star of the show was def the Panang Curry. It's small for an entree portion. It comes with rice. So we had to order another. But the flavors are there. We saved room for dessert bc it was a Mango Sticky Rice. Everything was good. But it made us miss home.

The atmosphere is super classy and cute, with great date-night vibes. Parking can be a little limited with the English pub next door, but it's definitely worth a stop. We started with a few of their buns. The pork belly was my favorite, but the fried chicken and meatball were both very good! For dinner, we ordered the fried rice, XO noodles, and shaking beef. The beef was a little more well done than I prefer, but everything was packed with flavor. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful, and overall, the food was delicious. Most dishes averaged around $20, which felt very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. And a special shoutout to Keith - his service was fantastic throughout the entire meal! Great atmosphere, flavorful food, generous portions, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
