    Nice clean restaurant
    Deborah M.

    Just wow. Great little place with private parking. Clean. Great service. Nice vibe. Not too loud but casual. Nice for a relaxed date night and the food is amazing!! No complaints!

    Fajita street tacos
    David G.

    Great service, food and atmosphere. Had 2 street tacos (fajita steak) w/chips & queso. Food is above-average w/fresh ingredients and lots of flavor. Service is impeccable, w/constant refills.

    The location is great and the inside is nice and spacious. Service was fantastic, we had some chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. We got some queso dip, it was probably the highlight of the visit. Piping hot and super flavorful. The rest of the meal was a little lacking. I had the Chile Rellenos and it was unique to say the least. The flavors were unlike any rellenos I've had before. They were cooked well, and they weren't bad, it was just middle of the road. If I was to go back I'd get the tacos. They had some good seasoning and had more flavor than any of the other dishes. Great service, good food!

    Pipian chicken with "tiny, tiny" serving of Spanish rice with salad
    Marco R.

    We arrived for lunch during the week, the place looks inviting and we were seated right away. We got our drinks right away, with warm chips and red medium heat salsa. We didn't get an appetizer but the menu looks appealing, may try some next time. I ordered the Pipian Chicken, it wasn't great, the pipian sauce is served over chicken filet, but the flavor was lacking salt and the plate and food was not hot, not even warm. I do have to give you a star for the salad, it's a cabbage salad with crunchy tortillas thin strips, the rice is tasty but the portion of rice was "tiny", you could easily give double that amount on each plate. I would ask that your server tells you that you are getting a vinegar dressing for your salad, and provided other options. My other 3 coworkers had the beef filet that comes with sweet fried plantains. Hope to come back and try other choices.

    Adobo and one of the tacos.  We were busy eating!

    The flavors are sooooo good! Pastor tacos and adobo were fantastic! 85 characters for this is too much

There's also an easy-going ambiance reminiscent of that Crescent City charm with a menu and service to match. We were delighted to see so much of the late David Wilson's cuisine on the menu from his Cedar Hill restaurant. His son Shawn has a jewel here and it was tough to decide on an entree. There are many enticing newer items. Special menu items included a Spinach Artichoke Dip, Steelhead Trout, and even Grouper! Our waiter, Tanner, was very kind and helpful. Eventually I ordered an old favorite, the Fried Seafood Platter with Fried shrimp, scallops, and catfish that came with a Remoulade, a sweet and spicy Cocktail Sauce and a delicious Tartar Sauce. Substitutions were not a problem and of the sides, I ordered the sautéed Spinach and a potato cake! My husband was easy. Wilson's Pot Roast was calling him. Cooked with Cajun seasoning and slow roasted, it's served with mashed potatoes, celery, carrots, fried onions and gravy. He also wanted some Jalapeño Hush Puppies. There was virtually no wait for our food or so it seemed. Our food arrived and it was terrific, first bite to last. Odd that I would enjoy a vegetable so much but the spinach was excellent and it disappeared. All of my Seafood was perfectly fried with even my shrimp tails edible - nice and tender and crunchy. The potato cake was also yummy. I haven't had one in some time. That thin fried shell with the creamy tasty interior ... My husband was over there seemingly playing in his fried onions and gravy. I had to laugh. And then try some. Ooooh. So good. He couldn't stop eating them. And the roast beef! Very tender and a huge portion. We were definitely impressed with our first outing. The restaurant is beautiful. A gorgeous bar takes up one side of room. There are tables with pews for seating, and others with a singular banquette on one side and chairs on the other. These tables can be moved. There are two unisex restrooms. Everything was very clean. The "Revival Tent" patio is equipped with fans and lighting and would be nice in almost any weather. There is ramped handicapped access in front. We're coming back soon. I was impressed with the environs, pricing, portions, quality and especially the service.

    Ate here on Good Friday 2026. As always the food is fresh, the servers quick and the atmosphere…read moregreat too - love the converted church! I ordered the Piccatti, a lemon drop martini!

    We loved Itadaki Ramen. I had no idea how beautiful this restaurant would be. The wall murals,…read morelighting and gorgeous booths, chairs and tables were quite a surprise. I hadn't familiarized myself with their expansive menu before we went. Our waiter, Jesse, was terrific and quided us through the appetizer descriptions as we settled in. I wanted to try their fish and chose the Japanese Mackerel, a Grilled Saba, for $7.50 from their rotating appetizer list. My spouse loves Chicken Karaage and just had to have that from the permanent app list. The Chicken Karaage was $7 for Fried-marinated boneless thigh meat with kewpie mayo, and bonito flakes. Itadaki also has a spicy mayo that is delicious. So we noshed and perused the amazing menu that had Bento boxes, sushi, dinner entrees, their Hokkaido-Style ramen and more. The Mackerel was lovely. It was a perfect small filet with charred skin and I shared it with my husband only to realize later that after the chicken, I had stopped taking photos. We just sat and ate our way to the end of a wonderful meal. The Chicken Karaage was terrific. So my Husband ordered the Chicken Katsu Bento. The Bentos come with salad, miso soup, a large portion of rice - he chose fried rice - steamed broccoli, gyoza, and fruit. ($20 + $2) The Bento portion is a lot of food, especially if you have appetizers. I ordered Jesse's recommended Ramen, the Nigori Chicken Broth. It's their signature creamy broth with lots of curly egg noodles and I chose the pork chase and light sodium. It came with egg, corn, scallions and mushrooms and there was no way that I could finish it. Definitely Delicious. The leftovers rode well. We had a lovely time and I definitely want to return. Parking can be a little tight directly in front as this strip center contains some very popular places, but there is a large parking lot at one end that will suffice.

    This place has been our regular spot since they opened. We have had several different servers and…read morethey are always very sweet and quick to accommodate if you have any food allergies. Can vouch for their shrimp tempura, chicken karaage, dumplings, ramen, and kaisen don. The inside is beautiful and really shines at night. Food usually doesn't take long to come out and they will keep an eye out if your drinks need refills. By far the best ramen spot in Mansfield! Their food is solid when ordering to go too!
