We arrived for lunch on Sunday around noon and We were greeted right away! Everyone on staff was super attentive and very friendly. There were only a couple of people there. We ordered the kimchi jeon pancakes to start. It was delicious. Banchan came out first. The only thing missing was either macaroni or potato salad. I was hoping they had japchae on the menu but they did not. I had the bibimbap off of the lunch menu. It had great flavor and it was a large serving. My man had the GalbiTang And it was also delicious! Overall I recommend giving this new location a visit and trying many things off of the menu. We will be back to try more.

The ssambap is such a fun experience to try all the different meats. The grandma came by often to check up on us. They were willing to refill our lettuce and rice, and I also asked for gochuchang sauce. The banchan dishes are quite small, but you can ask for refills. Plenty of parking in the strip mall, and there are lots of tables here!

I ordered a regular Pho Dac Biet, and right away, I noticed the portions were very generous. The…read moreThai basil leaves were absolutely ginormous, and they gave us plenty of them alongside very fresh limes, which I appreciated. The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.

It's been a hot minute since I've had AYCE Kbbq and hot pot. Let's just say I came here HUNGRY and…read moreleft very satisfied. I was honestly surprised it wasn't crowded when we went on a Sunday around 6pm. The only thing you would really order with the server is your hotpot soup base and drinks. Everything else including the appetizers is self serve. I liked how everything is nicely organized and labeled. I was also surprised by how clean the staff kept the self serve area. For the food, I went with the miso soup base which was nice and light, exactly what I was hoping for. They have a great selection of ingredients at food stations. You can best believe I added a ton of lotus root to my hot pot! I'm glad the banchan dishes were self serve too because I always ask the server for multiple rounds of it at other Korean restaurants. For the meats, there is a marinated meats section and a frozen meats section, both with plenty of options. I do want to also highlight the sauce station. It was honestly sauce heaven for my husband with so many different sauces and garnishes. He loves making his own sauce and was able to experiment with a variety of combos. Overall, this was a great experience and we will definitely return in the future.

First time here since it's new name, new owners and new restaurant style. Dam-a is an ayce hotpot…read moreand kbbq restaurant. I made a reservation online but when we arrived there was no wait. They also have a wait-list tablet at the hostess stand. We were greeted and seated immediately. The server asked if we'd been there before and since we had not, she explained the menu and where to get the food. We picked our hot pot broth and then went to the buffet area for all the hot pot and kbbq meats, seafood and veggies. There's also an appetizer bar. I enjoyed the japchae, chicken wings, spring rolls, pickled radish and kimchi. There is a great sauce bar too. I had the mushroom broth and he had the seafood broth with a small side of the mala broth. The broths were delicious, and there was so much to choose from on the buffet. We had servers check in with us frequently and topped off our broth when needed. I made sure I saved room for the complimentary coffee, desserts and soft serve ice cream. We really enjoyed our food and service so we will definitely be back.

I stopped by Donkey Mo's and ordered the 5-piece jumbo wings with the soy garlic sauce, and let me…read moretell you...these wings were HUGE! The skin was incredibly crispy (just how I like it!) and the soy garlic sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory flavor without being overpowering. They definitely didn't skimp on the size either--5 wings was more than enough! I skipped the sides this time because I wanted to focus on the wings, but their onion rings caught my eye, so I'll definitely be back to give those a try. Now...the only downside was the parking. It looked like the front parking lot had been freshly painted because every parking space was blocked off with cones. Everything appeared dry, so I wasn't sure why the cones were still there. That forced everyone to park in the back, which was already super congested. I mentioned it to the staff, but they didn't seem too concerned. Honestly, if I hadn't been determined to try this place--or if it had been any hotter outside or I hadn't gotten lucky finding a parking spot--I probably would've left. Thankfully, the wings made up for the inconvenience! If they can get the parking situation figured out, this spot will be an even better experience. I'll definitely be back...and next time, those onion rings are coming home with me!

I got the 10-pc jumbo wings, which allowed me to try 2 flavors. For one of the flavors I got Holy Donkey but I don't feel like the heat was really there. But still overall, tasty chicken! I got some sides to go and they were perfectly fried though I'm a bit sad to see a small side of pickled radish just doesn't come with Korean fried chicken (though you can purchase some but I had already bought 2 sides and didn't want to spend $5 for radish). Overall, the folks working there were friendly, my food was good, and I didn't have to wait too long for my food to go.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: When I say Vietnamese-style, it's only because most of the internal signage is in vietnamese. It has every asian countries ingredients from China/Korea/Vietnam to The Philippines and indonesia. You can find some really good pricing here on those staples. Fresh produce aisle is a bit limiting. Pretty big seafood area and meat. Walking to your far left side are all the kitchen toolware if you want to level up your kitchen game. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Always enjoy my time here at MT supermarket. Lots of ingredients you won't find at a 99 Ranch or H Mart.

My favorite market. Full of fresh fish, veggies, and meats; seemingly unlimited spices, sauces,…read moredried peppers, dried mushrooms, soup bases (fresh and dried); prepared goodies, teas, milk tea mixes; a ridiculous number of fresh and dried noodle options both seasoned and unseasoned; frozen kimbap, dumplings, bao, everything you didn't even know you wanted, you'll find. They even have alcohol, dishes, candles, other houseware supplies, and some basic American products. Prices area generally competitive, some much better than others. My main complaint is that it can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to find one specific thing. The other issue is that so many items have mislabeled prices or none at all. This can be challenging when you're trying to stay in budget while faced with more options that you can imagine. Also, fresh prepared items don't necessarily have their ingredients listed which can be scary for less adventurous eaters. The store is generally easy to navigate even through some cluttered set ups.

Ordered takeout from Carnitas El Guero and have to say simple food done well!…read more I ordered the 1 lb combo (I asked for half pound carnitas and half pound fajita) and the portion was generous. It came with 10 tortillas, salsa roja, salsa verde, grilled cebollita with habanero, plus cilantro and lime on the side. Everything was packed separately and still warm when I got home. Carnitas - 3.5/5 Tender with those little crispy edges that make carnitas so good. Not greasy, just rich and flavorful pork. But I would hope it could be more juicy. Fajita - 4.5/5 Really solid. Nicely seasoned and grilled with a good smoky flavor. The meat was tender and worked great in the tacos with a little lime and salsa. Salsa roja Smoky and definitely the spicier of the two. Salsa verde Fresher and brighter. Fixings The grilled onions with habanero were a great touch -- sweet, slightly spicy, and super flavorful. Overall what stood out most was the value and generosity. For a one-pound combo they give you a lot of food and all the toppings to go with it. It's the kind of place where you can easily feed two people (or have leftovers). Simple, authentic, and very satisfying. Would absolutely order this again when the carnitas craving hits. Did not pick up in store so cannot comment on the ambiance.

The pozole is honestly the BEST I've had--so rich, flavorful, and comforting. They give you the juiciest limes, onions & other stuff to put in the pozole but it didn't need anything honestly it was some of the best pozole I ever had. If your looking to shed a tear because of how much it taste like home go here! Lol The pork is insanely tender and seasoned perfectly. The quesadilla is huge & the beef is really good too. You can tell everything is made with care and tradition. The tacos are also top-tier. Every bite was full of flavor, and it just got better every bite!!! And let me tell you, the portions are no joke--you definitely won't leave hungry. Everything came out fresh, hot, and super satisfying. I made a 20 min drive home and my Pozole was still pipinggggg hot I mean I had to wait a sec to eat it and that is all I can ask for when taking food to go. They have drinks too like Mexican coke, other sodas, beers, and margaritas!! I will say, if you don't speak Spanish you might need a translator but if you know enough you'll be fine! Haha overall If you're craving something real and full of flavor, this is the place. I'll definitely be back! Also forgot to mention they're open until 2 AM! Late night bites at its finesttttt.
