This is the best meal that we have had across the US in a LONG time! Thank you thank you thank you,…read moreKhue's Kitchen, for existing! We were traveling out of MN for work and heading back to Chicago. During our work trip, we had some pretty disappointing gross fried food. Knowing we wanted to have dinner before leaving for home; however, we weren't expecting much. Khue's Kitchen had great reviews on Yelp and availability for us. After placing the reservation, I noticed a very short menu that left me uneasy. Guys, DO NOT FRET ABOUT THE MENU! It is perfectly curated. We got the Chicken Salad, Pork Fried Rice and Pork Chop. Chicken Salad: Literally moaning at our tables. OMG... it doesn't even need the chicken to be good. The fish sauce dressing is what makes this dish. I could eat this everyday. I will be trying to recreate this at home until I can make it back to MN. And the prawn chips - genius! You can make anyone eat veggies on a shrimp chip! Roast Pork Fried Rice: I thought for sure this was cooked on a wok with a higher than thou BTU flame. Eric, the owner, informed me it is not. How can that be?! How can you get that flavor, soulfulness, crispiness, tenderness into this dish without a wok?! Pure magic! The chili crunch is a nice bite. (FYI - took some home and had leftovers for lunch. This dish is even better the next day!) Pork Chop: Nice char and flavor. Not dry at all. We walked into this restaurant without any research. Didn't know who Eric was, his lineage or relationship with Quang, accolades... We walked out full, satisfied, overjoyed and giddy with AN EXPERIENCE, not just a meal. We were so lucky to have time with Eric who is so personable, thoughtful and FUNNY! He made the night for us on top of the food. We will definitely be back in August when we bring our kids for our annual state fair trip and they're going to love the chicken salad as much as we did!

Already wanting to go back!…read more This review is for the Sunday brunch that includes some live jazz music. Beautifully elevated decor and really nice that the tables are not too close together in what seems like a small space. We did not have reservation as we came around 12 PM on Sunday. Service was prompt and I absolutely loved our waiter who was quite eccentric and explained items on the menu very well. The cinnamon roll had a very good cinnamon flavor and was very soft was not overpowering. The gravy was very flavorful, not too salty. The biscuits are quite large, but you could definitely see the lamination and are super tasty. The salmon Benedict was really good. The hollandaise was not too rich and had a great acidity level. The hash on the side included some sweet potatoes which was a nice surprise for such a rich dish. Prices reflect the what I would consider to be larger portions, but no shame in taking home leftovers!

We had reservations and were seated immediately. I chose the spare ribs for my dinner and Husband had the pulled pork sandwich. The ribs were served with a zesty dry rub and sauce on the side. They were nice and tender. The meal came with Texas toast which I didn't try because the ribs were sitting right on top of it. It also had a piece of corn on the cob. Wish my meal would have been a titch hotter in temp but the food was tasty. We finished with the smoky crème brûlée which was delicious. The layout was cozy and dark with the bar at the center. I could see it being lively and loud on a busy night. Service was excellent. We took our time ordering and never felt rushed. Our food came out super fast. The staff worked as a great team.

The atmosphere was sunny with no chances of rain and I loved every minute of it. Sundays are for brunch and I went with a hungry stomach. Took my seat around 1115a and started ordering. First up was my drink Prosecco with a side of Elderflower liqueur because there was no St. Germain. Close to the flavor tho! It was actually quite yummy as well. Then I placed my ordered... I went with the HOG BREAKFAST PARTY which contains 2 Eggs, Greens, Bacon or Sausage, Roadside Potatoes, Biscuit. I loved the roadside potatoes, and I opted for sausage was equally good. The green I would suggest a little more umph in it and the eggs were standard. Overall a decent 3 out of 5 meal. I would like to go back and try the regular menu. Remember I said I sat around 1115a, it was long until 1210p that I noticed my food hasn't arrived. Spoke with our waiter who was apologetic and on the hunt to see what's going on. It was in this moment that I realized this business takes their customers seriously. The waiter returned to advise the kitchen was running behind, but his manager would be out to speak with us. Upon arrival the manager advised he had some research and noticed we had been waiting a very long time. By this time food arrived at 1227P. He informed us that the bill was taken care of and gave a gift card for the inconvenience. We assured him that taking care of the bill was enough but he insisted we take the gift card as well. That's amazing customer service. Thank you to the manager and waiter for such excellent care.

The Pimms Cup was good but the Rum punch was just OK. The menu had many tempting choices. We got some apps - the cheese curds were very good. The fried pickles were not my favorite. I ordered their porketta sandwich with bourbon sauce and it was excellent. It was not a traditional preparation but an even better version. Very juicy - I loved it. My wife got the pepparoni flatbread which was good but nothing special. Overall the group was very satisfied with our experience.

Instead EVERYONE is 100 % natural welcoming laid back and genuine in wanting to see you content and pleased. Nothing is ever pushed onto you. The quality of the pastrami, its seasoning, the textures and bright flavors of the breads and bagels the nova the chopped liver the extra creamy marinated Cole slaw and perfect half sour pickles ( wISH they had bialys!). All perfect. All old world. Our favorite very old deli in West Palm Beach was sold 1.5 years ago and gone gone gone are the DELIGHTFUL happy charming old staff and the perfect old world flavors, cooking. In Sarasota where we just lived the last 5 years, a new deli closed after just 2 years, and there is nothing left. We've been visiting family in Sarasota every year for 40 years. Gone too in the Twin Ciries is the ownership by brothers Scot and Stu of Hopkin's beloved Crossroads Deli just last year. The new owners, a corporation owning 6-8 other restaurants have CHANGED almost all the recipes for breads, cakes , wonderous cookies and 80 % of all pastries! No more butter, no more fine ingredients and no more of their once " Grossinger's taste/quality" STELLAR seeded rye bread! They even eliminated the lemon flavoring. In their incomparable lemon coconut cake! Their stuffed cabbage is one of their only true deli dishes left. Sandwiches are half their original size...... heart breaking after going there 3-4 times a week for 25 years........ Cecil's of course had to cut back on the $$ use of butter in their pastries. But they have WORKED VERY HARD to still retain their wonderous long long ago heart warming flavors. ALL their sandwiches are AUTHENTIC. Old world New York City flavors! Made with care and love. My husband loves their beautiful generous Nova salmon platte. Noshing away happily! I love their pastrami Rachel's with plentiful half sour pickles lots of Russian dressing and creamy Cole slaw. Mmmmmm. I hope and pray Cecil's owner refrains for a long long time from selling his rare business. We must support Cecil's too.... Or lose it with all the others, and lose part of our joy and heart. Thank you Cecil's .....

Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.
