    Shrimp Lo Mein Dinner
    Yushi N.

    I hesitate to rate this establishment 3 stars because the facilities were very clean and the cheap ass furniture reminded me of real restaurants in Taiwan. Like in a really positive way. Additionally, the staff were polite, patient, and prompt. However, I found the food only mediocre. The texture of intestines usually puts me off, but everyone else in my party absolutely loved the stir fried intestines with pepper so I definitely recommend it if that sounds like something up your alley! The only dish I found objectionable was the cumin lamb because, as my partner put it, "Tastes like cumin with a side of lamb." The dish I liked the most was the water spinach, but only because it reminds me of becoming a hermit after everyone I've ever loved is killed. And not because it was better tasting than any other Chinese restaurant in Columbus tbh.

    Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

    I've spotted this restaurant a lot whenever I'm next door at Sunrise getting groceries so I tried it one day for lunch. I got the salt and pepper chicken, sesame noodles, and the lunch portion vegetable fried rice. Delicious! It lasted me a few meals. Everything was flavorful. The sesame noodles weren't spicy, although it had a chili pepper next to it on the menu. The salt and pepper chicken had jalapeños which gave them a nice kick! I would definitely order more items from the menu. Lots of good stuff! A good handful of tables in here as well. But they seem to get a mix of people dining in and getting takeout.

    Thai Yellow Curry Shrimp Dinner

    Tried this out for the first time last night and would definitely recommend!! My only compliant is I wish my food was spicier but that's it! I ordered the Thai Yellow Curry Shrimp and it was delicious! Jumbo shrimp (cleaned) was cooked to perfection and the overall flavor of the dish was amazing. I ordered my food to go and the container was extremely hot so it's nice to know it was super fresh!

    My daughter recommended this restaurant, and she was right about it being good. We shared two perfect authentic dinners. The double pepper spicy pork kidney and also the Fried pork intestines with dry chilies and Sichuan peppers. The place seems clean and the servers were friendly. I can't wait to go back.

    Tilapia; I forget the name, but you can ask for it by the picture on one of the windows

    Delicious and AUTHENTIC Chinese food beside Sunrise Asian Supermarket! They have a more Americanized menu with things like General Tso's and Honey Chicken, but they also have an authentic Chinese menu. (If they don't give you the full menu when you arrive, definitely ask for it!) My partner is Taiwanese and also loves their food. We have especially enjoyed the pork intestine dishes and whole tilapia dish, which comes out boiling on a heated, intricate stand. The interior is quite simple and narrow, but not in a bad way. There is a main room that you enter and a slightly larger room connected to the outside that I believe they use for larger parties and when the main room is full. The second room has at least one rotating table for sharing dishes. Overall, delicious place whether you're looking for a taste of home or looking to try something new!

    Salt and Pepper Pork Rib

    Looking for some authentic Chinese food, Xin Wei Kitchen should be in your list. They have a good mix of spicy and non spicy dishes. If you are ordering anything that have the pepper marked by the menu item, ensure to confirm if you could adjust the spicy level . My favorite will be the Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs. The pork ribs are coated with a slight breading which is crispy. It also help to lock in all the moisture and the meat is very tender.

    Mapo tofu

    Appears to be quite authentic. Nice fun vibe in the restaurant too. Dishes were all made fresh and the menu has some items I've never had the pleasure of trying yet (duck blood, bull frog). We got the fish stew, eggplant (both must gets), chili oil dumplings, and mapo tofu. Awesome spot!

    Great food! It was a Thai restaurant before but they bought it almost two years ago. It was pretty small but the food was awesome! Always order carry out from here just because don't have time to eat there. But if you want some authentic Chinese food, this is a good place.

    Second visit- Everything was Really Good! Authentic menu delivers all the flavor. Just go and try it!

    Nice little place
    Agustin A N.

    OMG this was so good. After a gruesome day of moving to our new place there was no way anyone was going to cook. Don't even know where anything is so takeout it was. We were in the mood for Chinese. Being unfamiliar with the area, I looked on line and there plenty of places with even more warnings. We just wanted basic Chinese American food and the reviews were good. So we gave it a try and we're glad we did. We went all basic: spring rolls, combination fried rice, Singapore noodles and General Tso. Well, everything was so nicely prepared and effin' delicious. Rice was tasty, packed with ingredients, plenty of sesame flavor but not oily at all. The noodles were springy, spicy with plenty of plump shrimp and moist chicken. The General conquered! I love General Tso but locally it tends to be a soggy sweet mess of chewy dry chicken. Not this general, batter held up. I Ely to a spicy/sweet sauce, chicken was, again, tender and moist. I cannot wait to go back. I like trying different things and am looking forward to try the authentic Chinese menu. I don't think I can try the bullfrog but the fried intestines are definitely worth a try. Give Xin Wei Kitchen a try. I'm glad we did (almost didn't because I was not a fan of the "Thai" place that was at this location).

We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.

    My first experience with Bendi was with DoorDash and it was less than stellar. My coworker recently…read morecatered a lunch with Bendi and everything I had was delicious, so I decided to actually visit the restaurant to see if my feelings about this spot would change. They have a small parking lot which is helpful since parking can be challenging in this area. They have some outside seating and a small but cute dinning room with a bar. It was such a gorgeous day, I sat outside. I ordered the Penang curry with chicken and a couple of egg rolls. This is what I ordered via DoorDash, and it is one of my favorite dishes so I wanted to keep in consistent for my review. The waitress was attentive and friendly. It isn't busy at all. There is only one other couple dining during this lunch hour. The table outside is a mesh-top table, which is concerning, especially when you have a dish with sauce. When places don't provide a placemat, you risk food getting on your lap and pants. This would be a simple suggestion and fix. The egg rolls came out first. The presentation was really nice. They were nice and crisp, not soggy, like some places. The dipping sauce was perfect. I thought they were delicious. We are off to a good start! The Penang curry came out looking delicious. It was nothing like my DoorDash meal. The portions were good. Fair amount of chicken. Loved the flavor and spice. Some of the best flavor I've had in this dish in a long time. This dish came with rice. I don't know what happened with my DoorDash order, so I'm happy I stopped in to give them another chance. I have no reservations recommending you check out this delicious spot in the town. I can't wait to come back and try out some other dishes. I also bring friends!

I was a bit worried as it looks more like a night club from the outside, but the food was fantastic! We ordered the popcorn chicken, the Shanghai noon burger, mama Chien's dumplings, drunken noodles, a cobra old fashion and a local beer (paper cloud?). The chicken had some unique seasoning and the drunken noodles were phenomenal; the noodles were giant and cooked perfectly and the dish has some unique touches like pea pods that you don't usually find. You order at the bar, but even with that the service was great! A server brought out an herb for us to try that is in many of their dishes. They checked in on us several times and even refilled water, which you get yourself at the back. The customer base was very diverse.

All the food was amazing. I ordered a Kopiko Espresso Martini that I will go back 10x over to have again and again. I would say the only thing I'm not a huge fan of is going up to the bar to order every time you need something. I think they could really thrive using a QR system and/or digital tabs to make that process simpler. Also so you don't have to keep leaving the table. Either way, definitely worth it to check out!
