This was the first time I've had Laotian food outside of Laos. I can't say how authentic it was…read moresince it's been years since I was there, but the food we ordered was delicious. Our takeout order was delivered curbside. For two, we got a small papaya salad ($5.95), a small chicken larb ($7.95), and the veggie pad lao with spring roll lunch special ($6.95). The first two also came with white rice, which was much needed given how spicy they were! Overall, the food tasted fresh; portions were on the small to average side. The chicken larb and papaya salad packed some serious heat! The pad lao was a tad too sweet to my liking, but with the sauces and a squeeze of lime, was still tasty. I'm glad we tried this restaurant in Utica.

We each paid about $12 for each of our meals. The fried rice and wings tasted like Panda Express and the pho-ritto was just a gimmick. The problem with both dishes was that they lack a solid protein. The pho-ritto ended up being rice noodles wrapped in a tortilla with the broth on the side. The drinks were okay but a bit sweet. Overall probably would not go back.

This place used to be amazing. They have recently changed from "Maru Ramen" to Maru Korea "…read more Not sure if they changed ownership (I believe they did) but the new place is mediocre at best. Maru Ramen served homemade noodles and broth. You could taste the love and care that went into the food. Now, as "Maru Korea" , the food is incredibly underwhelming. The noodles come from a package (confirmed) and the broth tastes like it does to. Some of the dishes are decent but even as traditional Korean dishes go....still underwhelming. I've eaten Korean cuisine regularly for 24years....this place would be equivalent to the Korean food you would get if there was a Korean version of McDonald's.

I came here with my family and we ordered a bunch of things to try such as the dry sautéed green beans, salt and pepper squid, walnut mayo shrimp, pepper steak, and dry fried fish fillet. The things to definitely try are the green beans and the pepper steak. The steak was so tender and flavorful and the green beans were also tasty as well. The other items were ordered were tasty but the portion size was rather lacking and could've been more substantial for the cost. Overall I would definitely come here again

We all left very full and very happy, which is exactly the goal. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to.

I personally love their ramen, their build-your-own rice bowls, and their strawberry fruit green tea with strawberry boba, but that's just the beginning of what they have here. I also really like their online ordering system, because then I can just put in what I want, how I want it, and then go to the pick-up counter to get it. Wonderful for a picky eater like me! I've never eaten in the restaurant, but there is ample seating and it is always clean. Very much worth the trip every time!

There was hardly any fish in my poke bowl. My tea was okay, though I asked for 0 sugar it still tasted quite sweet. Boba was fine. A little annoying that they charge you extra for a hot tea vs a cold one. I wouldn't recommend their poke but will likely return to try another drink on their menu and perhaps pick up some of their snacks.
