I was curious about this restaurant for months before eventually coming in and regret not coming in…read moresooner! The restaurant ambiance is unmatched and it's obvious they put lots of consideration and care into their design and food. We were so impressed with the empanadas (cheesy chicken and beef) and special sauces. The chicken salad arepas was packed with protein. We can't wait to come back to try their other dishes! Live music is from 7:30-9:30 pm Fri-Sat, followed by karaoke.

Though we both liked our entrees, we both thought the protein quality of the mains is just ok. The winning dish is the mini arepas, hands down. I would order those mini arepa for my entree easily. This location is roomy. Service is warm; our server was helpful answering questions. The Food: Arepitas Fritas, $17 - 5+ Stars Four mini arepa in the appetizer section, these start with the same cornmeal (masa de maíz) base as the normal arepa, then topped with cheese, slow cooked beef, quail egg, and pink sauce. These bites are sooooo good! They sell the full-size arepas also, which will likely be a future meal. :) Platanos Fritos, $8 - 5 Stars Gotta love Latin foods with their plantains. Simple and delicious. Theirs are perfectly prepared. Camarones de Ajillo, $19 - 3.5 Stars These shrimps are cooked in garlic, herbs, and cream. The herb butter sauce is excellent, but the shrimps' quality is just ok. We liked it enough but will not order again. Asado Negro Tips, $23 - 3.5 Stars 8 oz of NY strip are cooked cubed in asado sauce, served with yuca fries and quasaca, a mini tomato and avocado salad. Again, the asado sauce is excellent, but the steak pieces are on the tough side. The yuca fries didn't stand out. This is also a 'liked it enough but won't order again' dish.

We came around dinner time on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all, but it did take a while for the food to come out. We got the steamed spareribs, truffle shu mai, pork and taro shu mai, fried mochi with pork, sticky rice, and salted egg yolk mochi. I loved absolutely everything so much! Flavors were spot on, textures were amazing, and they were also really unique. I loved the truffle flavor on the shu mai, and the ham sui gok was done so well here too. I'm a huge salted egg yolk fan, and they did the mochi ball here perfectly too. I want to come back soon!!

The draft beer menu is extensive, and Hannah took the time to walk us through it and identify beers that we might like, offering tasters for each recommendation. The deep-fried green beans also earned a 5-star rating, in my opinion much tastier than most french fried potatoes. The vibe is laid back and homey. There is enough space between the tables so that you can hear each other rather than your neighbors. What's this I hear about open-mic comedy nights? We'll be back!

I would love to give this restaurant five stars, but we have been here three times and the table…read moreservice has not been the best. For our last venture here, we told our server we needed a little more time to review the menu and decide if we would want to try something different. She did not return for a little over ten minutes. In the mean time, I was getting a little bothered and saw she was servicing her other two tables near us many times, having conversations with another server, and just not coming back to see if we were ready to order. I decided to pass the workstation and ask her to take out order, but then hearing their conversation about social life and not work, that upset me. As I was ready to collect my family and walk out l, she returned to take our order. My wife gave her grace and we sat back down. The food here is delicious! I recommend the ravioli or the udon carbonara. Both are elegant dishes and have the best mixture of truffle flavor. These are our favorites. The restaurant is very nice, mall front design. The host and hostess are phenomenal! When you enter, not only are they very inviting and making you feel at home, they also offer everyone in the family champagne and for the young ones, sparkling juice. Who I assume is the manager, she is all over the place and in my mind, she works harder than she should. She was expediting, greeting, cleaning, refilling utensils, replacing chopsticks on the table, etc. I feel her team should stop talking about life at work and do a better job at performing their roles in this business. Because of the table service disappointment three times, I think we will take a pause and not return for a while. Spending $300 on average here, we love to eat, I would expect a certain level of service.

They have an incredible collection of pinball machines, and enough arcade cabinets to take a break from chuckin' steel at ramps (I still wish they had a Third Strike cabinet, but I won't hold it against them). There's also a back patio if you need a break from the din of the machines or want to have a conversation with your friends to discuss which Ninja Turtle is the best. It's Raphael. It's always Raphael. They have a fridge full of a variety of canned adult beverages and soft drinks, along with a non-alcoholic slushie and an alcoholic slushie to sip on while gaming. The majority of their machines have cup holders to help you out with your beverages. I usually need a couple of Rainier tall cans to get me loosened up enough to be at peak pinball performance. There's also a varied selection of small pizzas if you need something to snack on. It's a family friendly spot until about 9-10pm? I can't remember exactly, but after that time, everyone under 21 must leave the premises and it's adult swim time. The atmosphere has always been very even-keel though, I rarely notice when kids are or aren't present. The bartenders are sweethearts and love talking nerdery when they're not busy (What's up Randal 'n' Forrest!).

I originally thought this was a place meant to look like an old arcade based on reviews and pictures but this is truly an old arcade. Everything from the smells, carpet, machines, and vibe brings you back to the peak arcade days. There are a couple newer machines like Minecraft and 4 person PacMan but the majority of the machines are classics. They have multiple coin machines to exchange cash for coins and it seemed like games were between 25-75 cents each credit. We didn't try any of the food or drinks so I can't comment on that but there were other people enjoying that. They had signs on the front door that kids are allowed until a specific time as well.

My boyfriend and I were done with an event and were looking for a bite to eat pretty late-ish and we saw this place was still open. We got there around an hour before close. When we arrived, it took a little bit to get noticed and the waiter wasn't really the most friendly and was telling us we should order fast as the kitchen was doing a last call. He didn't even tell us how long we had so we just put our order in. We got the two yakitori trio combo (happy hour), takoyaki, scallop taco, beef udon, udon, and iced white peach green tea. We were getting our order fast but it was like one by one which was a bit disorientating. The food was pretty tasty. The iced tea was refreshing and definitely got good flavor. The tofu being cold in the udon was a bit off-putting as well. The yakitori, takoyaki and scallop tacos were absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved the beef in his beef udon and looks forward to ordering their gyudon. I want to order the oyakodon for sure next time. Hopefully the service and experience will be better next time. Our waiter didn't really check in too much with us but he did refill our water once. The inside is gorgeous and definitely has date night vibes. It is dim-lit but enough lighting to get some pictures. They have tables with different types of seating available for party sizes. They have sauces and spices to put on your yakitori that pair very well.
