    Food was abundant. Very much like fast food Chinese. It hit the spot but isn't authentic Chinese as I had hoped. Still tasty !

    My second trip to Springfield, Mo for work. This little area (literally this 1/4 mile of street)…read morehas some amazing restaurants! Unknowingly, I started "scrolling" to find a place to eat and was sucked in by pics of the food and ambiance! So I mapped directions to Cafe Cusco only to find it was next to another great restaurant I had been to during my last trip. Walked in and the hostess, with a welcoming greeting and smile directed my single person party to a four top. Turns out she ended up also being my server and bartender!!! Lilly was her name and she was on top of it all. I believe there was at least one other server. I shied away from apps as I was not sure about the serving sizes as I was not famished... I started with a Pisco Sour that Lilly recommended and she also recommended the Lomo Saltado for an entree. I chose to also have the Ginger Caipirinha. For dessert I had the Quinoa Pudding and a cup of coffee. Beverages were well balanced with lime tartness, great cinnamon presence and over all flavor was refreshing! The Lomo Saltado was very flavorful- def get your salt intake for the day, but it works so well! There was a house hot sauce at each table. I taste tested the hot sauce and decided to liberally add to the dish! A symphony of flavors! The slices of tomato in that Saltado sauce was ... mmmmmmmmm GOOD!! Naturally the tenderloin was packed with Saltado flavor too! I ordered up the Ginger Caipirinha (which did not disappoint either!). Both beverages stand on their own merits and I cannot choose which was better... maybe the sour?? So... then there was dessert... I cannot recall the last time I ordered dessert... quinoa pudding???? I mean... I like quinoa... but do I ever go out of my way to eat it?? No... but add some sweet coconut cream, cinnamon and... wait for it... Black cherry COMPOTE?!?????!!!! Damn! Am I glad I got that dessert! You MUST save room for this! Such a great amalgamation of flavor and textures! Cheers Cafe Cusco!! You've got a great gem here for great prices to boot! Lilly was very busy, what may have lacked in some attentiveness (due to how busy it was) she made up for in her awesome personality, pleasant disposition and great suggestions! Chillin' in haute Springfield?? Check this place out! Cheers!

    You wait for the places that matter. Not the ones that open with a whisper and a bland social media…read morecampaign. The ones that take their time. Hong Yen teased us since New Year's. A promise of something real, something worth the patience. And when they finally opened..a soft launch, no fanfare; you better believe I was in that parking lot shared with the Food4Less, off Battlefield and Campbell. Rainy day, cold weather in the summer. Surprisingly the perfect combination to enter this newly renovated addition to the shopping center. Their old location is gone. What stands in its place? Something else entirely. Three to four times the size. Four distinct sections. Booths, circle tables, rectangle tables, even a bar with stools. Seating at this hour is self-managed: a small act of trust that tells you everything about the warm chaos of a family-run operation still finding its rhythm. But the bones are solid. The vibe is an unexpected comfort. Soft piano drifts through the air. The lighting is warm, upgraded, inviting. Faux vines trail from corners, faux bamboo stands tall, a video screen plays peaceful landscapes of Vietnam. Paper lanterns hang alongside actual glass chandeliers. Golden fish with kanji watch over the room. It's a total upgrade from the old spot. This isn't just a restaurant moving locations. This is a statement of intention. We ordered. My fiancée went with the Pho Thai: that glorious, aromatic bowl of rice noodles in a broth that tastes like it's been whispering to itself for hours. Rich, savory, soul-warming. I ordered the Bún bò huê but asked them to swap the standard noodles for vermicelli. A small tweak. The kitchen didn't blink. The broth arrived dark, complex, spicy. The Central Vietnamese cousin to pho that doesn't get nearly enough love in this country. It had heat. It had depth. It had backbone. Our kid got a simple side of noodles. Needless to say, everyone finished their food. Every bowl scraped clean. That's the best review you can give a place. Spring rolls? Fresh. Generous. Bigger than usual, stuffed with care. The service? Quick, friendly, attentive, even while short-staffed. That's not easy. That's experience. Hong Yen is a gem. A real one. Great prices, genuine hospitality, a family atmosphere that welcomes strangers and treats them like regulars. People drive hours for this. Now I understand why. Worth the wait? Absolutely.

    Always start with a positive is my motto -the fresh spring rolls were delicious!! Would eat them…read moreagain. I ordered Pad Thai. It's hard to find a good Pad Thai here in Springfield and sadly that continues. The Pad Thai I ordered was nothing more then stir fried noodles that tasted like dirty grease. No sauce, no peanuts, no egg. And also the owners need to get the only two lads in the dining room some help. However the guys were exceptional considering how busy they were.

    Wow this place is so cool!!! I am so impressed! First of all it's like hot pot and kbbq all in one,…read moreand right in front of you! The cooking thing is so unique - half and half. So you can pick your soup base and then you basically get unlimited meat options for the table. All the sides are unlimited and they are on a conveyer belt that just goes around and you just grab what you want. It's awesome!!! The TVs show what the different sides are. But they are all great. Also you have to visit the sauce bar to make your own sauce!! That was so delicious. The house sauce is amazing and a must!!! At the end you also get a little complementary ice cream! It's a decent size too! The staff is so nice too, we accidentally arrived way too close to closing and didn't realize it but they still served us and let us stay after. So nice!!!

    Really neat experience that was a little different than the hotpot I've had before…read more At Shabu everyone gets their own hot pot / hot plate. Other places I've been it was one main pot. You can choose your broth and then what to put in it. You can mix it up with spices and sauces. They bring the meat selections and the veggies and noodles go by on a constantly moving conveyer belt. And it's all you can eat! Everything was really good and I would definitely recommend trying it. The only thing missing was a glass of wine or sake. There were no alcohol choices for drinks. But you do get free ice cream at the end so save a little room for dessert.

He was spot on when I couldn't decide what to order and to surprise me. I got a small pecan, apple salad with goat cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette and the Seoul Food Chicken sandwich. I have never had chicken so tender and juicy and the slaw was perfect. The salad was equally amazing. The goat cheese and candied pecans, my mouth is watering just thinking of it. My son ordered the Brussel sprouts and chicken and waffles. Both off the hook. I should have walked through the whole place. It was architecturally interesting. The vibe was good, seating comfortable and you could catch the game, but there were not an overwhelming amount of TVs. If in Springfield, do not miss out on this local gem!

My server was friendly and professional, however. I ordered the fish tacos. The fish was crunchy and delicious, but there was very little in each taco, with each piece only running about 2/3 the length of the small tortilla. The tacos, despite their many toppings, tasted rather flat, although the slaw was fresh. One more thing: The limes that came with my drink and tacos were drying out and faded. Overall, I was unimpressed and hope others have a better experience!
