This is a hard meh for us…read more Been here several times just because we wanted to support local small businesses. They have lowered their prices because their food just isn't competitive. Their teas are horrible. The worse being the lemon punch which is very bitter and has a lot of limes in it. Their milk tea is awful. Wonton soup is mediocre with very little noodles or wontons. Dim sum is frozen, they have a special where you get to choose a couple for under $20. Their porkchop rice is average but mostly overfried and needs more sauce and the rice is dry. Chow fun tastes likes like something from Panda Express. They keep changing their hours so be sure to make sure they're open especially between the hours of 2-5pm. Service is lame and the water is lukewarm without ice. They will not survive if they continue ok this path with all the better asian restaurants near by with competitive prices.

From the moment we walked in, they were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best dining experience possible. Every time we needed something, they were there right away with a smile and made us feel genuinely cared for. They were also so generous and surprised us with so many thoughtful gifts, which made our visit even more special. Their kindness, professionalism, and outstanding customer service truly exceeded all of our expectations. It's rare to meet people who are so passionate about making customers feel happy and appreciated. Yang Min and Manager Yao are a huge reason why I'll definitely keep coming back to Haidilao and recommending it to all of my friends and family. Thank you both for making our visit unforgettable. You truly made our day!

Social Eatery is almost like a mini food hall, but you can order everything from an iPad…read more We got the Lap Mei, which stated it would take 18+ mins, and it did, because I like the crispy rice from the stone pot. For the most part, the portion was generous. Rice was a bit plain, they should've provided some kind of hot sauce at the table in case I wanted to spice it up. The chili oil wontons were decent, but more peanut butter than chili oil. Chicken feet were surprisingly good, the sauce was tasty. And my boyfriend got the beef stew with biang biang noodles and he said the beef was tender, the soup was tasty, and the noodles were good. What I liked about this place is that all of our food came out fresh and hot. Service was okay, I felt like the people working there weren't mean, but they also weren't very friendly. Plenty of parking, by the way, on the opposite side from El Camino.

The chicken itself was a little dry and rather thin, but the curry was delicious, and the rice was well cooked. The potatoes were the perfect vehicle to soak up all the curry sauce!! This particular curry was more Malaysian in style, don't expect a Cantonese or Japanese curry. It also came with 10-12 leaves of raw spinach on the side, which was kind of a strange addition for me. I think I would have preferred a cooked green veggie on the side.

Our menu included Soy Sauce Chicken, Spicy Pork, Japchae Noodle, Pan Fried Cubed Tofu, Shredded Cabbage and Carrot, Kimchi with shrimp, and fresh fruits. At first I thought the Soy Sauce Chicken was like the Chinese kind of cut-up chicken with skin and bones, but it's actually smaller pieces of chicken meat in soy sauce flavor. Kinda dry for me. The Spicy Pork is hella spicy! And when it's spicy, you can't taste any other flavors. Japchae Noodle was just plain mung bean noodle with soy sauce, no other ingredients. It's salty and the more you eat the saltier it gets. This is usually my go to dish but now I'm disappointed. Shredded Cabbage and Carrot is very light in flavor, just boiled chopped veg. It's useful to mix them with the over-seasoned meat. The cubed tofu is ok, probably my least complained dish. In general, it's a very simple lunch with little to highlight.

Hopefully you never end up in the hospital but if you do, Saucy Asian is right in the neighborhood so whatever you order gets here quickly right off the grill. Self-described as "flavor mashups served with Korean style and a California kick in the buds," I would order their Saucy Asian Poke bowl ($17). With rice, greens, assorted fish and kimchi, it was a welcome and delicious meal that hit the spot with protein, fresh salad and slaw. As a self-described saucy Asian myself, I endorse this spot.

Because it was delivered, the bowl didn't taste as fresh as I imagine it would dining in, which definitely impacted the overall flavor. The spice level was also pretty mild for something labeled "spicy poke," so I ended up adding my own hot sauce to give it a bit more heat. On the positive side, I did like the portion size. It's not overly large, which makes it a good option for a quick, lighter meal without feeling too heavy.

I've been craving pad Thai made authentically, so this hit the spot! The lunch time vibe was full of energy and the restaurant seating and decor make the ambiance add to our enjoyment of this restaurant. Excellent service, to the point of their setting aside my leftover box that I forgot and needed to return to pick up! I highly recommend Attraros!

He was really attentive when he could be but being understaffed caused unnecessary delays in order taking, food delivery and payment. The food was pretty good with some annoying flaws. The lunch plates were served with a salad that had no reason to be there and the dressing needed help. The curry was really good as was the crispy chicken but the "crispy rice" lacked any semblance of being crisp, it was not bad, just not as advertised.

He was also very accommodating. I asked for no rare steak on my pho, and usually places just don't give rare steak, but he offered to just have it cooked instead. Nice surprise! On to the food: after going to a diff Vietnamese place in sc, I've been hesitant to try another here. But this place made me feel at home (Bay Area). I like drinking the soup before adding anything and I don't do that at all places, but here the soup is really good. You can smell it when you come in too. The thai tea is really good too, not too much tea or milk. Def plan on coming back to try other things on the menu too!

Definitely spicy but not overwhelming Can't say anything wrong about the egg rolls. They also have a Mexican menu... a bit strange of a cuisine combo. Didn't try anything on it, but a good thing to know for a family with mixed tastes. They do have TVs, so my children just stared at them the whole time, but also sometimes this is a plus??

But as the night grew later, the room filled each table with diners that the single host, runner, waiter did an excellent job attending to. The vinaigrette with the shaken beef was memorable. The thick slice on the hamachi, while still totally tender like butter was incredible. The bread pudding did not travel well, and separated like an over cooked cobbler, but the chocolate yuzu cake was a hit for breakfast the next morning. Next time I guess I must try the Saucy wings and the short ribs. But it was a generous portion for the Chef's Tasting Menu, and I'd highly recommend exploring the menu that way.
