Decided to try out OSHA the day before Thanksgiving and was not a fan. The place was empty and the…read moreservice was just OK. We sat at the bar and felt rushed to order. We later learned it was the bartender's last day. I ordered the drunken noodles ($15) with vegetables at a level four spice. And my friend ordered the Tom Yum soup ($14) with chicken at a level five Thai spice. Mine had minimal spice (level 5 is the highest). It tasted more sweet but was lacking flavor. My friend said hers was lacking flavor as well, but it did have more spice to it.. The restaurant had a nice ambience based on where it was located and it had a lot of sitting space, but I'm not sure if I would go back to try it again.

Thought it was a good idea to stop by for the posted "Happy Hour"...unfortunately, once I entered…read morethe lone server informed me that she was not aware of what the actual Happy Hour menu or cocktails were. She made a reference to not being familiar with register system & after trying to look there, nothing was showing as happy hour options. She also overshared that the owners have another location & were too busy to respond to her attempts to contact them about her questions. She was nice but very uninformed or prepared to serve. I noticed her also walk outside to read the signage that posted happy hour to confirm if my timeframe was correct...it was. Any who, I ordered Crab Ragoon. Filling was good but felt a little slighted as puffs were on the lighter side. Less fuller than other places. Sauce provided was good. I only got water, not interested in a full priced cocktail before 5pm. Just disappointed that I could not benefit in a happy hour experience, during happy hour. The big plus for me was the amazing Playlist (old-school r&b). I will try them again, I like the quaint space.

There was one other person eating in but they had an enormous amount of pick up orders . We both had the drunken noodles with chicken ( I asked for non spicy because I'm a sissy when it comes to spicy). The vegetables were nice and fresh, the chicken was tender. I really enjoyed the noodles as well. I also got a coke with ice that came in a glass jar (kudos for recycling). I thought it was really cute. I will say the portions are literally the size of the plate and very generous at that. For the two of us it was 33.90.

Today, my husband and I had a very unpleasant experience at J2C Restaurant. This was the first time…read moresince moving to the United States that I felt we were treated in a way that made us question whether racial bias was involved. On Sunday, July 5, we went to J2C for lunch. A male server seated us at a table that was quite dark and directly under a strong air conditioner. I politely asked if we could move to a table by the window. He said yes, but told us to wait while he cleaned the table. My husband and I waited patiently by the other table, looking through the menu. During that time, we saw the male server come out several times to serve other customers, but he never came back to us or acknowledged that we were still waiting. We didn't complain--we simply continued waiting. 15 minutes later, a female server noticed us waiting there and asked if we needed anything. I explained that our original table was too cold and asked whether we could move to the window table. She said yes, cleaned the table, and then waved for us to come over and sit down. At that point, everything seemed fine, and we were looking forward to ordering our lunch. However, shortly afterward, the male server walked directly over to us and began scolding us. He said, "You need to learn to be patient. I told you I would clean the table, and you shouldn't have moved without communicating with me." I calmly explained that the female staff server had cleaned the table and told us to sit there. I asked him, "What did we do wrong?" He replied, "Yes, everyone made a mistake. You just need to learn to be patient." I still don't understand what we did wrong. The female employee who told us to move to the window side table was also works for the restaurant, We simply followed her instructions. So why were we being blamed? From the moment we entered the restaurant until we left--nearly 20 minutes later--the male server never once came over to check on us or even offered us a glass of water. In the end, we decided not to eat there because we did not feel respected or welcomed. We will not be returning. This was an extremely disappointing experience and reflected very poor customer service and restaurant management. I sincerely hope the management will look into what happened and ensure that all customers are treated with courtesy, respect, and fairness.

We went with two adults and two kids and ordered a mix so we could try several things: jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice, and chicken creole. Honestly, every dish was fantastic -- one better than the next. Tons of flavor, perfectly cooked, and the kind of food that makes you keep saying "just one more bite." It's casual, quick, and absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back.

I decided to try the turkey etoufe, an annual Thanksgiving special. Since it's a popular dish I…read moreordered it the day before for pickup. The bread was very unappealing, and I tossed it The turkey, what little there was, lay on a bed of rice. Of course, it's etoufe. It was very spicy, which is fine with me. The side of Cajun stuffing was very small. I'm not sure what made it Cajun, but it was way too salty. Once plated, I took a photo which, I have to say, appears to be a small portion snd not at all appealing. Would I order this again? A hard pass. 107

While on business in Lexington, and staying downtown, I found this delightful little restaurant…read morethat you may miss if you blink. Across from Goodfella's Pizza, this place offers a quiet and quaint option for those who love Sushi and other Asian foods as well as an extensive bourbon list (including Pappy's 23). We went on a Monday night and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant so it was a nice quiet evening. Prices were very reasonable and there are a lot of Asian Tapas offerings and a wide variety of sushi rolls. They even have some vegan options which was important to our group. Their bourbon list is extensive and they have several other options for those not interested in bourbon. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I had the Crab Rangoon Roll and Korean Tacos with Slaw. The roll was tasty and fresh. The tacos were my favorite part as the flavors just melded together and complimented each other nicely. This would be a great place to go with a group of people, grab a bunch of dishes and give everyone a taste.
