    Popcorn Crispy Chicken Bites
    Khanh P.

    Went here for lunch and honestly didn't expect too much from the Pad Thai since it's more of a fusion spot. But it turned out surprisingly decent! The portion was just right, and I liked how the noodles and toppings were balanced instead of being overloaded with carbs. Seasoning was on point too. Really enjoyed it! The popcorn chicken is a must try, super crispy and flavorful without being too salty (which happens a lot elsewhere). I'd definitely order both dishes again.

    House Pho
    Gionne S.

    I went here with a few friends post run club. Had the house special pho and tasted the popcorn chicken. The pho was great and had a good and balanced broth along with the combination of meats (meatball, brisket). Bonus points for having cool tables with outlets. Might be a cool idea do some work here in the future.

    Rotisserie chicken
    Jonathan S.

    Do not try the rotisserie chicken. I might have to call out of work tomorrow now. I took 2 bites of the chicken and my stomach started feeling a little weird. I'm giving them 2 stars because maybe the chicken could've been bad before it even made it to them, but even then the flavor of the chicken was awful. I won't be back again, and I definitely can't recommend it.

    rotisserie chicken + fountain drink (bottomless)
    Keeny Q.

    They have pretty good food here. Portions could be bigger but not a big deal. All their plate orders are around $17-$22

    Randomly went to this place and honestly didn't expect much, but wow the popcorn chicken was crazy good. Super crispy but not dry at all, and that flour they use got so much flavor like I don't even know how to explain it, just really good. The noodles were tasty and not dry at all, with tender meat, and the Pad Thai had a nice balance of flavor. The server was super nice and helpful, made the whole thing even better. Didn't plan to eat here but glad we did.

    Rotisserie chicken with garlic noodles
    Deborah W.

    Came by to pick up a quick lunch and got: 1. Rotisserie chicken with garlic noodles: Don't get the rotisserie chicken; it was super bland. The garlic noodles were subpar and overcooked. 2. Popcorn chicken: The popcorn chicken was seasoned well, but honestly, at this point, I've had better. Overall, I'd skip and go elsewhere.

    Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
    Heather D.

    I randomly ended up here after seeing it nearby to where I was at. I ordered food to go, which seemed to take a really long time but the food was super good. I ordered a plate with filet and garlic noodles. I told my friend I think that they were the best garlic noodles I've ever had! They were cooked perfectly as was the filet. I ordered the pork spring rolls which were pretty good. I didn't order a beverage but the milk teas are all sounded really good. I'd recommend giving this place a try!

    Pad Thai with Beef

    Stopped by on a very sunny day. The ambiance is very pleasing and the service is top notch. I love their Pad Thai, it hits home. I also tried Garlic Noodles and a refreshing salad to balance the flavor out but overall, I love the experience and would like to come back to try other items on the menu! Highly recommended! (Their popcorn chicken is something else, very addicting to eat).

    Garlic noodles with filet mignon cubes & popcorn chicken in the back
    Ryoung K.

    The food was decent! Garlic noodles were good. We got the filet mignon cubes & the crispy chicken for the protein but I personally liked the crispy chicken more. The popcorn chicken was okay, wasn't as crispy as we would have liked. The food was served to us and it came out pretty quickly. Service was decent, as well. Ambiance wise, plenty of seats inside. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was just us two and one more person inside. Price is decent. There's plenty of parking because it's inside a structure with other stores nearby, like 85 degrees.

Overall, the food is fine. The katsu is okay, not super crispy, the chicken is a little dry. The katsu don and osaka don were a little too sweet. The rice balls had pretty limited filling so a lot of rice to salmon. The veggies were also a little too sweet. It's nice to get bento type food here but I might just go to Tokyo Central and get bento-style food there. Love the concept, just execution was so-so.

All this seafood is steamed in a bag, comes with corn, potatoes and sausage pieces. Everything was quite tasty. The fries are crispy and had a generous cheese sprinkle of Parmesan. Sweet potato fries also taste great. Be prepared to dig in with bare hands - they do provide thin gloves and disposable bibs. I got steamed rice but maybe didn't need it. The one pound peeled shrimp in garlic butter no spice was quite tasty. The three servers were completely slammed. But they did keep things running well- between taking orders to each table, & serving refills , bussing tables and closing out bills. Communal sink for washing. I think part of etiquette is to NOT rinse out your mouth here. It's used by everyone after all. I do wish the floor was was in better condition - it's a bit rough uneven and slippery.

I lived with it as we had already waited to start eating as there was an error between salad and sandwich for another order, and I was hungry and didn't want to hold things up further. Again, they were friendly and fixed the things we brought up to them, but they just seemed like there were a lot of communication issues and things not running as tightly as they should behind the scenes.
