    Trying the new taco spot
    Priscilla L.

    Came across this place on social media and it looked amazing so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is cute. Hip music and tvs. I wanted to love this place but the service was not it. We waited a long time in line. With no acknowledgement. They would take an order and go cook it. Then take another order and so for. I realize they might've been short staffed but say something. We tried the birria balls and a surf and turf burrito and it was ok. I wasn't blown away. Don't let the social media "influencers" lie to you. This is your average Americanized taco spot.

    OH MY GOODNESS!! The Taos were so delicious i literally was wanting more! The service was so fast i think I only waited like 5 mins for my tacos! They were so sweet and understanding and even helped me pick what to get since it was my first time! I will DEFINITELY have to come back!

    should have taken a pic before we started going to town, but asada (our fav) chicken, & pastor tacos

    the taco spot is the best!! we have been coming for the last couple months & it always delivers. service is PHENOMENAL, we have only had good experiences. Marvin especially consistently goes above & beyond- give that man a raise!! the vibe is fun & lively, there are often families and groups of friends having a good time. the taco tues prices + college student discount make the price unbeatable. big fans!! we'll continue to come back :) PS you have to try their chipotle sauce!!

    The staff gave us all of the toppings and sauces to make this some of the best birria I've ever had.

    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

    This is now my favorite restaurant in Provo. They have authentic Taiwanese food. The owners are…read morefrom Taiwan and are so friendly. I got a bento box. 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!

    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!

    Food is decent, but the pricing for the ramen is misleading and deceitful. They list a price for…read moreeach type of ramen, but there is an additional hidden fee for the soup base which apparently you are forced to get. It's like ordering fried rice, being asked what type of rice you want (white, brown, etc.), then getting charged extra for the rice. Really not a great experience. Update after owner's reply: While I appreciate the owner's reply and acknowledgement, it is still fundamentally misleading. Another perhaps more appropriate example is ordering wings then realizing that you're being charged separately for the flavor. Instead of lowering the price by the amount for each flavor, why not keep the same price and just make it clearer that there are options for the flavor of the soup base. I've been to plenty of other ramen restaurants that offer different flavors of soup base and don't charge separate for it.

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. I dont know if they change the noodle for all the ramen or just for certain type. Takoyaki was chruncy and the inside was soft with a little pice of octopus.

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***

    Came here on a weekday afternoon and it was fairly busy. The menu was very large and we ended up…read moregetting the egg rolls, teriyaki chicken vermicelli and the house special pho. The pho broth was solid and tasted really good -- there was more tofu than I would have liked, but the other meat was fine though I wasn't a fan of the "fish balls". Tasted almost too real? The teriyaki chicken was pretty good - sauce and all and the vermicelli was refreshing. But the egg rolls weren't very good and had little flavor. You order and pay at the counter and then they bring your food to your number. There are many booths and tables though the lighting was a bit dim. Overall, a solid vegan place with many options and I'd come back the next time I was in town especially since there aren't many solely vegan places in the area.

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. So if you haven't been-let me assure you it's well worth the visit!
