Foods so good here even after 10 years. Maybe we are older, the sauce for crispy tofu is a bit too…read moresweet, but the tofu was fried very well, and flavor overall is still really good. Both scallion oil and numb oil noodles are really good and good value too at $6 each. Flavors are on point. Luroufan special was also good $8 and they give quite a lot so easy to split among the kids. Meat is tender and not overly sweet. The scallion ginger fish fillet was probably the best, and they give a good chunky pieces of fish that is not breaded, but the way they cooked it. The meat trunks stayed together intact. The flavor is what you expect from traditionally steamed fish with soy sauce pour over at the end. Super pleased with the options. They have an interesting self serve utensils, takeout boxes and the tea is self serve too.

My favorite wontons are mapo, green pepper, and hot chili oil wontons. My second favorite item is the sliced spicy pork belly dish! When you arrive, you scan the menu from your phone and order at your table. The food comes out relatively quickly.

This place is awesome! I can see it becoming the best Asian international grocery market in the…read morearea! They have a huge selection of foods predominantly from China, South Korea, and Japan. I have seen some Indian, Vietnamese, and Filipino stuff though including a generous section of spices and whatnot. The prices are quite affordable and they have a great assortment of fresh produce, deli foods like ready to eat kimbap or squid salad, baked goods, pick your own hotpot items, and fresh bbq (put out at 11am). Their staff is super friendly and diverse (a sign at the entrance touts the multilingual abilities of the staff). They seem to have everything including more niche ingredients and even live seafood! I also appreciate that they freshly butcher meat to sell unlike other stores like Amko that freeze it all. There's also a home goods section with cute bowls, makeup, and other stuff. This is all relatively close to campus too and worth the trip. It's also right next to Golden Harbor, which is a plus. I found out about their membership card. You get 1 point per dollar spent and it builds up - it seems handy especially if you shop here frequently. They are still in the opening stage but hopefully the food court will open up soon!

Very surprised to see an Asian market with a great variety of options in the area. We happened to…read morepassed by the market and saw some of our favorite items that you can only get in Asian markets. Red dates, Gogi Berry, ginger tea, kimchi, Vita drinks, matcha soymilk, miso paste, whole wall of lee kum kee sauces, japanese candies, Korean banana milk, coffee milk, instant noodles, and much more. Their fresh produce was a bit low in stock but they had Taiwan and Napa cabbage and fresh ginger. Inside seems clean and there is parking right outside of the market. Cashier was really friendly. There is a membership to earn points to redeem for coupon. Don't forget to grab some Japanese or Korean instant coffee packs and special lays flavored chips! Those are so good.

I am not a big boba guy... but DAMN, the items are creative, the seasonal items are GREAT, and their slushies are... gah, so good. I feel pretty chuddy to admit I have devoured many apple slushies, whenever they are out. However, the prices are a bit high, especially for the pokebowls. But still really solid, taste wise.

The lady at the counter was so helpful since it's my first time. Basically you get a bowl, pick your protein and veggies, they make it for you with different sauce.

It was mind numbing, mouth numbingly good. I'm a total Chinese food snob and I love this place!

My sister has been searching everywhere for fried pork belly and kimchi since moving here from…read moreSeattle, and we finally found it at this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the fried kimchi with pork belly from the appetizer menu, and it was absolutely delicious. It had the perfect balance of sweetness with just a little spice. We also tried the dumplings, which were great, but the dipping sauce really stood out, it made the dish even better. For our mains, we got the army stew and the kimchi soft tofu stew, and both were so flavorful and satisfying. The woman who took our picture was hilarious. Highly recommend this place, we'll definitely be back soon!

I had a terrible experience here. I dined in and ordered the beef rib soup. It didn't come with…read morebeef ribs. It came with thinly sliced beef in the soup- first of all, do not advertise you are selling a rib dish if you aren't going to be adding the actual ribs. The server who was a Latina female was on her phone talking to someone the entire time. Incredibly unprofessional. I had to ask for side dishes and a coke that I had previously ordered and she had forgotten and was sitting at the front not paying attention to her customers. She gave me attitude once I asked her again. When we paid to leave, they charged a 18% gratuity service fee- mind you I dined in with my husband. I have never heard of any place charging a 18% gratuity fee for two people dining in. Ridiculous restaurant. They are thieves. Do not go here!!!

Great fast-casual noodles for lunch near campus…read more The food is simply prepared and delicious. I ordered the first item on the menu: Bok Choy in Chili Oil Noodle. The hearty noodles were chewy with a slight taste of rice -- neither too refined nor over cooked. The beef broth brought the dish's rich taste and gave it some depth, while the bok choy and green onions in the soup were fresh and crispy. Even though the chili oil was a treat, it overpowered the broth and veggies so that I'd consider omitting it from the order. The restaurant was crowded with lunch-goers when I stopped in, but the turnaround on my order was fast. If you need a bite and want something simple and well made, his could be your spot.
