    Burrito looks big but has lots of rice other

    The place is nice and clean, and the atmosphere is good. I ordered a burrito and quesabirrias. The quesabirrias were 10/10 -- really flavorful and well made. The burrito, however, was disappointing. It had way too much rice and very little meat. It felt like I was mostly eating rice. Also, I wasn't expecting lettuce inside the burrito -- that just didn't work for me. I'd rate the burrito 0/10. Overall, I'd come back for the quesabirrias, but I hope they improve the burrito.

    While I'm glad there's finally an Asian restaurant in Provo, I personally did not love shhh up…read more Bento Box: The Bento box's sweet and sour dish tasted reminiscent of store-bought sauce. I thought it would be more complex but literally tasted like my bottle of sauce at home. The vegetables were just steamed and lacked flavor depth. Heavenly Mango Drink: I was happy to see that it included real mango chunks. It was pretty good, but was nothing special. Popcorn Chicken: The Taiwanese popcorn chicken, which I heard was what this restaurant was popular for, was disappointingly simple in flavor. I only taste 1 flavor profile throughout and was expecting to it to have more of a mixture of five spice, garlic and basil flavors. I recommend paying the extra $0.25 for basil if you decide to try it. P.S. Use your starving student card when you come eat here! You can get food for BOGO

First of all, the bowl was very cute and made it a more fun eating experience. I was very impressed by their popcorn chicken. It was cooked to perfection--crispy and flavorful. I liked the Chinese vegetables that came with the bento box. The egg with a runny egg yolk was good, but it could be marinated longer to have a stronger taste. I also got the Shhh! Sunset drink with a peach base and fresh mango and strawberry. It was so good! It was very refreshing, and I liked it better than other boba drinks. I will definitely come back and recommend it to all my friends!

    The food here is alright, however they definitely could do better. The atmosphere of the place is…read morewonderful though. They played really good music, had ambient lights and hanging plants. It was such a vibe. I would go there if I was with a group of friends that wanted to talk. The food was ok, but it definitely doesn't compare to other ramen places in Orem, like Asa ramen. The food here was oddly bland. I'm not sure if the authenticity was there. I personally don't think I would come back, but I'm glad to have tried it once.

    I will start off by saying the food was amazing! When we…read moredid not receive our order through Yelp/GrubHub after over an hour (showed "still in process" online), they called us to let us know it was still there. I asked if I should run down to get it and they said yes, not realizing at the time that we ordered for delivery. I ran down to pick it up and they confirmed that it was supposed to be picked up and delivered to our hotel by GrubHub and apologized for it not being brought to us. They also confirmed that the order was READY at 8:41pm, but it was now 10:05pm! They said the sushi had been out for too long and would make us a whole new order, which was ready within 10 minutes, free of charge. My brain had not even processed that my husband ordered sushi and that sushi should always be kept cold, so I really appreciated them being upfront about it! I do not want to know how that would have gone later if my husband did eat the first order... I also appreciated the comfy chairs available while waiting for my order, as we had been driving for 8 hours that day and I was very sore and tired. The restaurant wasn't too loud and looked clean and well-kept from what I could see by the front door. Plenty of parking outside, although I did show up late at night while all the other stores/restaurants in the strip mall were closed. They were not packed at that time, but had a good number of people at tables spread out and everyone seemed to be having a good time. It was a nice atmosphere overall and if my children were not feral 99% of the time, I would have a sit-down meal here sometime! I also love that they are open till 10:30pm every night, which was a lifesaver for us! We got into town late on the Sunday after 4th of July, and most places were closed by 8pm, so it was great that they were open late. Our GrubHub driver showed up while I was waiting and said he had just received the order on his app and apologized for it taking so long, and would cancel it on his end so that I would get refunded. Although the waitress was hard to understand as she spoke very little English, she did find another waiter who was able to explain to me what was going on and they were very quick and polite to fix the issue. My katsu chicken was warm and crispy, just how it should be, and the white rice wasn't soggy or dry and crunchy. It was delicious and you get plenty for $12-ish. I also had enough chicken leftover for a complete meal the following day, which my very picky-eating son devoured! My husband's 2 orders of sushi rolls were perfectly made and delicious too, he said! If we ever come back through this area again on our next road trip (we are from Southern California), we will absolutely be stopping here again. I just wish that when Yelp/GrubHub refunded my order online they could have kept the tip for the staff; I didn't notice until after I got back to our hotel room Thank you so much Tamashi Ramen for excellent customer service and food!

Beansprout was cooked but still had crunch. I got nice mixture of fat and meat on charsiu pork. When i got tonkotsu ramen a month ago, their noodle was thicker and i got leaner cut of pork.

After providing a printed ticket, she insisted that I pay her personal Venmo instead of paying with cash. So I paid her Venmo for the bill's total and left a cash tip at the table. A little over a month after our visit, I received an email from Venmo letting me know that the front staff submitted a dispute against my payment. Her name on Venmo is ***Jiamin Wu***. There are many other payments to this lady the day before, the day of my visit, and the day after for the same exact things (ramen, sushi, lunch). The restaurants posted number (on their site, on maps, everywhere) is not in service and I have no way of contacting them or going into the restaurant to resolve this right now. SO DO NOT COME HERE IF THEIR CARD READER IS DOWN UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ***SCAMMED***

While I'm not planning to go 100% vegan, I still love restaurants like this that offer so much variety. Everything is meatless which is hard to find in Utah county. The food surprised me and my spouse. Everything was tasty beyond expectation! We repeatedly said how delicious it was throughout the meal and talked about coming back and bringing other people with us. You could tell it's family run and everyone was really kind. We each got a dish and shared an appetizer. We left super full and happy. My husband said he would happily become vegan if this is what it tasted like all the time lol.

You order at the front and everything else is self-service. My food was fresh and delicious. As someone who's been to many pho spots, I'd say the flavor isn't the most complex compared to some others, but it's still pretty good and satisfying. Portions were a bit smaller than what I'm used to at other pho places, but the prices are reasonable and about average for the area. Overall, a good option if you're looking for vegan Vietnamese comfort food.
