Noon, Thursday, January 29, 2026 My mentor and I walked to Yuko Kitchen for lunch. I'm a first time visitor, never been here as I usually brown bag it for lunch. Upon arrival, it looked really busy with people seated outside. Yuko Kitchen is not a major fast food joint. It's a small kitchy hole in the wall. Super cool vibe when I walked inside to order my meal. I ordered the DIY sushi bowl that included nori to make my own hand rolls. It was a lot of food for sure! I made 6 rolls. The food was delicious. I enjoyed my first visit here. It's a hidden gem off of Dunsmuir Ave just off of Wilshire at the rear of the building. read more

Super cute ambience, lots of plants lots of things so many things so many places, a little overwhelming, a little overstimulating. Tables are very close together not a super great flow to the seating.. I would not call this feng shui. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and it was delightful. Love the way the rice is cooked. Everything was flavorful and good. My friend had the beef curry bowl. It also was quite delicious. Definitely five out of five. We had a shrimp salad roll. It was basic nothing special. We also tried a butter cookie and a strawberry mochi cookie, and they were absolutely terrible, the mochi cookie seemed almost underdone, unless that was the goal, but the grit and the bitter left on your pallet was super unpleasant.. I would go back here to try other bowls. read more

I've heard of Yuko's from a couple different people so decided to check it out during a long lunch break. It's near a plaza so there is metered street parking in addition to a lot which was nice. The place itself is pretty small but they do have some space inside/outdoors for group tables. Come before or after the rush as it might be hard to get a table for a larger group. I ordered the rice bowls and thought the portions were massive. In addition to the sushi rice they include plenty of greens as well to add a nice crunch to the meal. I ordered the albacore and catfish bowls and my favorite had to be the bbq catfish like many other yelpers. The albacore was fresh as well but I wish the proteins had a bit more per serving to balance out the rice and price point as they come closer to $15+ a bowl. Overall, I thought Yuko's was a solid lunch option with an extensive menu. The rice bowls were hearty but also refreshing depending on the protein option you get. read more

The food was good, the portions were generous (come hungry!), and the menu had tons of options to choose from. Service was quick and efficient, which made the whole experience even better.

I think this is a reasonably priced spot with 11/10 ambiance! Super great choice for a casual, yet delicious meal. I don't think the vibes give off "Studio Ghibli" like some have been claiming but still gorgeous nonetheless. It has an abundance of plants, fairy lights, and feels very homey. The cookies were moist and the sashimi salad I had was very fresh! Definitely stop by if you're around the area! read more

Super yummy food! The entire place is so aesthetic and full of photo opportunities. It's a bit small with narrow passageways and a bit hard to find seating but has a nice, cute vibe with a lot of Studio Ghibli references and themed elements. At one point, when looking for seating, we sat towards the end on the outside near a very pretty section with many plants, however as soon as we sat down there were so many flies. We ended up moving to the outer area by the front entrance to avoid the flies, but this meant being in the sun :c The food was very good and on the healthier side too! I got the poke salad and it was a very generous portion, wonderful presentation, and tasted good too! Service was great too! My friend asked for recommendations since it was our first time and the employee was very kinda and gave an in depth recommendation. Overall great experience, would definitely go again! read more

This is the place my friends and I go after our workout to get a fresh and healthy meal. I really love their miso soup that's filled with mushrooms and vegetables and their hand roll kit.

Prices are reasonable when compared to the portion and quality of food. My whole family devoured their plates/bowls. Next, the presentation is awesome. The chef prepares delicious meals AND plates the food aesthetically. So colorful!! Honestly, I trust that you can get anything on the menu and be VERY satisfied.

I think there were potted plants inside for sale. Very little tables and chairs so as soon as you order quickly look for a table to sit. There is only 1 bathroom that's used with a key.

Dropped by for lunch after visiting the Tar pits, just a short 10 minute walk! The restaurant is tucked away slightly off from the Main Street and is quaintly decorated. It is a order and pay at the front and pickup your food when called kinda store. It is more of a fusion restaurant than Japanese, has some Korean and Viet influences in their menu. Fish plate - There was so much food on this plate. Salad was tasty with the typical Japanese vinegrette dressing. Pumpkin soup was tasty and good on a warm day. Roll was a spicy salmon sushi, but i think the heat comes from a kimchi than a spicy mayo. The dessert was parts of their cookies. The chocolate chip cookie was way better than their matcha one, the matcha felt less fresh or just more dry. Nice to try! Mint lemonade - This was more of a slushie than their regular lemonade which is more of a drink. Lemonade was nicely balanced sweet to lemon flavour and the mint added a refreshing punch to the mix. Would highly recommend! read more

Wow what a beautiful cozy little garden in the heart of LA. This place is popular, it was fully packed every table taken around noon on a Monday. I was quite impressed with the ambiance. I had a spicy salmon Rice bowl, it was quite tasty. The only downside was there wasn't much salmon, rather a lot of rice. I understand for the price it's still a decent value and filling portion. Would be nice to offer an extra serving of salmon as an option. I also asked if I could have both tuna and salmon mixed which was not an option. Still a wonderful place to enjoy a meal outside on the patio garden in the shade! read more

I am so disappointed in everything I ordered from here, and based on the price I wish I had gone elsewhere. My total was close to $40. It's a super small place, but cute for a lunch stop. Anyway, it took a long time for my food considering I was the only one in there. I ordered the garlic shrimp bowl, fried broccoli, green tea strawberry chocolate chip cookie, and the green tea marshmallow brownie. I didn't like any of it. The bowl was full of rice, the shrimp were not seasoned, the broccoli was not fried all the way so it was so much batter inside, the cookie was hard AF, and the brownie made no sense with sesame seeds on top!! I trashed all of it. read more

The ambience is super cute, I could totally see myself ordering a matcha and a cookie and sitting here to study for a bit in the outdoor seating area... however, everything else was not good. For starters, they charge a fee if you pay with credit/debit... I think it was around 4% but I have never heard of a fee with debit card and I think it is against Visa's terms of use. The food was also not that great. I got the Spicy Salmon Rice Bowl and it is the most flavorless version of a poke bowl I've ever had. It felt more like I was just eating veggies... It had so little fish/seasoning I def didn't feel like it was worth $19.50 + fees. I don't mind the bussing your own table part/picking up your own food at the counter. I don't mind self-service as long as employees don't pressure me to tip. read more

The indoor space is small and quaint but holds great character with a small tv playing studio ghibli and a plethora of plants from floor to ceiling. It was fun to look around at all the decor and plants as I waiting for my food. Once we received our order, we took it outside to enjoy the covered patio space, also surrounded by lovely plants.

I eat here for my lunch break maybe once a week. Their teriyaki ginger chicken situation surprised me ina good way! Tender, sweet, and prevalent ginger flavor which is what I like. Big ebisu roll is filling. The soup of the day is usually this orange one and whatever it is its addicting. Cute interior and ample outdoor seating, one on the street side and one tucked to the right of the main entrance. I would recommend ordering in advance as lunch is typically busiest and even if you do order ahead I've noticed it comes out a few minutes after your pick up time. Friendly staff.

Very laid back, casual experience - decent parking (street + lot) Lowlights - while the bowlito was delicious, it kept falling apart! I mean it dissolves in your hands. I ended up eating it with a fork rather than with my hands - there's enough seating but during peak hours I imagine it's rough finding a seat Definitely coming back to this gem and sharing the good word.

Robby’s West Hollywood

You'd be hard pressed to find a more amiable and talented pair of owner/operators than Robby and…read moreGabriel, who greet you with smiles, warmth and a complete excitement for sharing their space, food and drinks with you. That space is a fun and breezy open-plan dining room on the corner of La Brea and Santa Monica, at the opposite end of the shopping center from Formosa Cafe. Designed in a refreshing circular style, the room is filled with lush banquettes, tables dressed in blue & orange, and a bar lined with white leather stools. The whole place feels like Miami crossed with Havana crossed with West Hollywood circa 1975 -- and between the ambiance and genial staff you just can't help feeling relaxed and ready for a great time. The bar features draft and bottled beers, wine, champagne, and a full menu of fun cocktails made with a brand of Soju that comes in various styles, emulating whiskey, vodka, tequila and gin. The result is an array of drinks that look great, taste great, and pack slightly less of a wallop than regular booze -- but that's okay, because this is the kind of place where you'd like to drink for a while, and doing that without getting shnockered is a major plus. My wife ordered the Unicorn Cocktail, sort of a Cosmo with Cotton Candy. It was light and sweet, and very refreshing. Equally refreshing was Gabriel's Margarita: sour, spicy and served tall over ice, I could drink them all day long. The food menu is an eclectic mix of dishes from all parts of the globe, including grilled fish, hamburgers, a variety of salads, ribs, steaks, seafood dishes, pastas, vegan options, and the two entrees that we ordered: Lamb Chops on Cheesy Grits and Romesco Chicken. My lamb chops were meaty and mild, roasted to a perfect medium rare and served atop savory cheesy grits with a rich veal demi glace. It's a hearty dish with tons of flavor, and it's the absolute embodiment of comfort food. My wife's Chicken Romesco featured tender, juicy white meat chicken that Robby sautéed with onions, garlic, and red bell peppers, then bathed in a creamy, tangy sauce fortified with cashews, all served over rice. This was another crave-inducing dish with an exciting flavor profile that I would cross town to order again and again. On top of all this, they've got a kickin' outdoor patio, they love to book big groups for parties, and they host Karaoke every night of the week. And if all that weren't enough, the kitchen stays open until midnight, serving a menu of late night bites for guests committed to drinking, singing and partying the night away. They're just a month from their 2-year anniversary, so it's a good idea to head in soon for a meal and a couple of tipples, and to say a big congrats to Robby and Gabriel for creating such a fun restaurant with such fantastic food and drink.

Darling by Sean Brock

Darling had been on my list for a while. I have Southern roots and love Southern food, so I was…read moreexcited to finally try it. I also made a point of ordering things I probably wouldn't normally choose, which turned out to be a very good decision. Started with the Midnight Club, a bourbon cocktail with blackberry, amaro, citrus, and absinthe. Really good, with enough going on to be interesting without tasting overly complicated. The surprise of the night was the grilled squash and Romano beans. Honestly one of the best-tasting vegetable dishes I've had. Squash, tomatoes, mint, cornbread purée, and this thicker sweet-vinegary sauce all came together incredibly well. There was so much flavor in something I probably would have overlooked on the menu. I also had the black cod with grits and clams, which was fantastic. The fish was boneless and beautifully cooked over buttery grits, and the sauce underneath was so good I wanted a spoon for it. Rich and buttery, a little sweet, with dill coming through unexpectedly in a really pleasant way. Just an unbelievable amount of flavor. For dessert I had the profiteroles with brown butter ice cream, pecan sauce, and date. Great flavors, although they were a little awkward to eat with a spoon. The space itself is very cool, with interesting art and an open-air section in the middle that gives the restaurant a distinctive feel. Friendly service throughout. There was a DJ playing, which was fine, although it was pretty loud where they initially seated me near the lounge. I moved farther back into the restaurant and it was much more comfortable. You'll also hear the occasional "woo!" coming from the bar area. Overall, a really fun meal and several dishes I'd come back specifically to eat again. The squash in particular was completely unexpected and exceptional.

The food is mostly excellent. Green goddess salad was very good, albeit a bit heavy on the dressing. Pickled shrimp were a generous size and quite delicious, the pork loin atop corn was even better. The tahini and cucumber was least memorable dish, in fact, I would pass on it. Had three dishes that were all unique yet a bit too similar: Carolina creamed rice, some sort of white bean dish, and a greens atop cornbread mash. All were good but just too close? Cod was also excellent, like the pork loin, cooked perfectly. And the wine list was quite good. Had a peach cobbler for dessert, walnut fudge, and a peanut tart; all were American-sweet so I will defer opinions on that to someone who likes American-sweet dishes.

The perfect espresso poured over a silky vanilla bean gelato at the table is to be cherished. Our server was an amiable gentleman who was happy to answer my questions - including his preferred pastas, and more. Caesar salad (with a side of chicken breast) was refreshing and substantial; very shareable. Just enough dressing, not drowning, the crisp romaine alongside homemade croutons nestled within. The Calamari Fritti was expertly cooked and presented: Savory and addictive, it comes with a somewhat spicy red sauce - not as intense as arribbiatta. You'll definitely want to try a Pinsa, a Roman take on pizza. It's small but might pizza, and outstanding. We had the Marguerita, which had delicious gooey mozzarella and basil. Velvety crust with just enough crunch. Ask for some chili flakes to boost your heat. Could have easily stopped there, but grateful that my lunch hour got sidetracked, so we showed up really hungry. We also ordered a pasta, which, frankly, I expected to taste and then box. But no --- the pasta insisted to be loved, and loved it was. While there's a number I'd like to try, with Gilberto's blessing, we got the Bolognese. Served with tagliatelle (though they sounded flexible on your choice of noodle), this was wonderful. No curveballs, no razzmatazz, but simply a hearty, flavorful, meaty dish. The table side parmesan is of course something to say yes to. Wines by the glass at Happy Hour are good and a nice deal. Very enjoyable here. In addition to our server, the owner (I think), and another member of the team circulated and stayed visible, available and friendly. Dining alfresco is fun; there's a lovely afternoon breeze and it's not too close to the street. I look forward to returning to try more dishes, Happy Hour or not.

My latest obsession. It doesn't help that Yuko Kitchen is also close to my office...so very tempting. First off, this cute Japanese cafe's signature drink, the MINT LEMONADE, is insane. Made with plenty of fresh mint leaves, fresh lemonade and crushed ice, this deceptively simple drink is the BEST mint lemonade I've ever had. It's so unbelievably minty. I prefer it after the ice has melted quite a bit so the flavors have melded. And now that the weather's warming up, I would challenge you to find a more refreshing drink. Words of advice: Get a LARGE! http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=cu4YCddNefQgKB4Rs0UX5g&userid=mGAgc73bhiO_xXvpLy2Org Since discovering Yuko Kitchen less than a month ago, I've been back a number of times and am making my way through the menu. There are an assortment of rice bowls, combo plates, rolls, salads, soups, snacks, desserts, boba and other drinks. The portions are generous here too so come hungry. My favorite is still the CHICKEN PLATE. You get some kick-ass teriyaki chicken bites over rice, a spring mix salad with tomato wedges and cucumber slices, four pieces of spicy tuna roll (or whatever is available), a shot of soup and a mini-dessert...all for less than $10! http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AqFQxLn8G30-Zt2c1aNTbQ&userid=mGAgc73bhiO_xXvpLy2Org The chicken is pretty special...I love the teriyaki sauce. The salad dressing is one of my favorites. And the soup comes in a cute little mug! I've tried a couple of different soups. The vegetable miso is hearty, but the CARROT GINGER is a must-try. As far as desserts, I'm most impressed so far by the GREEN TEA CUPCAKE. Never had a cupcake quite like this. So moist. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=i4Ffn25J-bYKVzgxBidl5g&userid=mGAgc73bhiO_xXvpLy2Org Other items I've tried include: * ROLL COMBO - Includes your choice of any of their regular rolls (not big rolls), plus a salad and a cup of soup. * HALF & HALF - Includes your choice of any half salad and a cup of soup. With this I tried the garlic albacore sashimi salad (comes with sauteed garlic, jalapeno, white onion, kaiware sprouts and ponzu sauce). It's an excellent salad. The half portion had 3-4 pieces of sashimi. * SPICY SALMON RICE BOWL - I had wanted the spicy tuna rIce bowl but they were out of tuna, so they subbed in salmon. The bowl is huge! The generous serving of salmon came topped with green onion and sesame seeds and lay on a bed of rice and organic greens. Also came with smelt eggs, wedges of pickled radish and cucumber slices. Probably my second favorite item. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WKLNOTLOagaHfJlUb-chDw&userid=mGAgc73bhiO_xXvpLy2Org * GARLIC SHRIMP RICE BOWL - I tried one of the shrimps (cooked in garlic butter) and, while it was good, I'd go with the teriyaki chicken first. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XTcZURLdp-u8Dx0HM7oc9w&userid=mGAgc73bhiO_xXvpLy2Org Yuko Kitchen is located just south of Wilshire Blvd. on Dunsmuir. It's such a awesome spot for a casual lunch or dinner. You generally order/pay at the counter, but if it's not too busy they will take your order at the table. The decor is fun and eclectic (check out the "men's restroom") and there's anime playing on the television. There's Indoor/outdoor seating, metered parking, free wifi, boba happy hour (4-7 pm everyday) and BYOB after 6 pm. read more

The atmosphere at this establishment was truly incredible, both inside and out. The service was exceptionally accommodating and the food was delivered quickly, which made the entire meal just delightful. I was excited to try one of the best salads I've ever had, and to top it all off I ordered the cookies, which were equally wonderful - one of the best cookies I've ever had! My family also really enjoyed the entrees. They couldn't stop raving about how delicious the chicken was and how everything was just perfect. It's really nice to know that my family had a great time as well. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to visit this place again. The entire experience, from the ambiance to the food and service, made a lasting impression on me. If you are looking for a great restaurant, this place should be one of the first on your list. I look forward to coming back and enjoying the wonderful flavors and atmosphere once again! read more

Yuko's Kitchen is entirely under appreciated. A small, hole in the wall Japanese eatery the serves fresh, healthy, innovative dishes with quality ingredients? I am there. It's hard to get such a combination of greatness in one location for LA. Yuko Kitchen is a low key spot, it has a back corner spot (rent must be cheap), yuko made it work, ever since we have been coming to this spot it has delivered nothing but the best. I ordered Minced meat taco bowl. The taco rice bowl filled ground beef in taco seasoning over rice served with garbanzo beans and vegetables and topped with crispy wonton strips. OMG, SO GOOD! and definitely affordable! They have free WiFi and BYOB everyday after 6pm. Can't wait to go back and try other menu items. I am definitely a fan! read more

I really like the way this place's vibe. However, their food can be a bit lacking and super over-priced. One time I ordered a spicy tuna roll where the tuna was bad and I got sick. But, this hasn't stopped me from going outright. They have a lot of very healthy, vegetarian and vegan food so I'm thinking that fish and meat may just not be their strong point. They also have a cool outdoor seating section with heaters. And even though this may not be a reason to rush over, they have the best water ever! They keep their water in jugs with fresh mint and lemon, or strawberries and other garnishes and it is soooo refreshing. I like to go and hang out with friends, but it's not comfortable to study or to have a big meal. It's nice once in a while. read more

If you're in search of a healthy and fresh dining option, look no further than this place. The variety here is amazing, with options ranging from vegan dishes to delightful small desserts. One of my favorite go-tos is the poke salad. It's like a refreshing twist on a sushi salad, with fresh ingredients that really bring out the flavors. If you're a fan of seafood, you're sure to love it. The combination of textures and tastes is simply delightful. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is consistently delicious, and it's clear that they take pride in using high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for a fresh and flavorful dining experience. read more

I was looking for something a bit on the "healthier" side after my week of burritos & pizza and Yuko Kitchen did not disappoint. I actually found this restaurant through RushOrder (it's an app that you use for food delivery) and it was great and the food travels well. We ordered the spicy salmon rice cake - good crunch from the rice cake with a bit of a kick from the salmon, the garlic albacore sashimi salad - fresh & delicious!, then we went with the eel roll, the big ebisu roll, and the mermaid roll - we loved all of them! Just wanted to share that i used promo code HUNGRY3 on the rushorder app and got a couple bucks off. i don't know if it's still valid but try it! read more

I don't want to be a party pooper, but this place serves mediocre Japanese food for the arrangements for "Gaijin", foreigner. As a Japanese, I wouldn't go here; the service is only so so, some of them are nice, others are just to sell the most expensive things on menu. Vibe is alright; sort of hip and casual. To me, it is more like if you don't want to spend money like Sushi, but don't want to be feel cheap, but let's eat some Japanese food, so I have to come here.

BEWARE: ASK FOR A RECEIPT! This is the second time that I've been overcharged for something! Something that says "$1" on the menu, suddenly shows up as $4 on my bill. Ask for an itemized receipt! Always double check because they do not provide itemized receipts, but rather, calculate totals in a lump sum! I love this place, but they have done this to me so many times. And each time, they sneak 3-4$ to my bill!!!!! Absolutely ridiculous! Will not be coming back any time soon! read more

I'd give this place a solid 5 out of 10. Since I ordered delivery, I can't speak on the restaurant's ambiance, but the food arrived well packaged and service was quick. One recommendation I'd make is to double check your condiments before finalizing your order. The portions were decent, but the bulgogi tasted a little too bland for my liking and could have used more seasoning or sauce. Overall, it was a convenient lunch option, but I would probably try a few other menu items before deciding if it's a place I'd order from regularly.

I like Murakami for two things : their yellowtail collar is excellent!! Not only was it done well, at a little over $20(at this writing) it was a fantastic deal! I also like their ChiRashi bowls - the fact that you can choose the fish and make your own combination is very nice. I have not seen it in any other restaurants. Service was super tentative and friendly. We had to wait a while for our food to come, but it was a weekend night so that's understandable. The ambience is casual and relaxing, kind of like a neighborhood eatery. Parking can be super difficult in this area. I recommend going north of Melrose and try to find spots in the residential area. But make sure you read the signs!

I wanted to try everything so I gave the chefs tasting omakase a try. You get smaller portions of a bunch of things on the menu. Truly every new bite was a new delight. I found the ramen to be my least favorite of the bunch, but the portion was too small to be reflective of the actual dish. I look forward to trying it alone in a proper portion next time! A must visit spot!

Spicy Salmon skin cut roll 4/10 It was burnt and the flavor was not for me. Crispy though Red Dragon roll 8/10 Well balanced Black Cod roll 3/10 I liked it, but there was a hair in the roll. Service wise, did not enjoy it that much. Did not order an extra soda but got one. Asked for eel sauce 4 times. Overall, food was not bad but I'm taking 1 for service, 2 for the hair in the food and an extra 1 for the handling of the situation. After pointing out the hair, the server took the untouched plate away and brought us another one and that was it, nothing was said or addressed.

I guess it was a good thing since street parking was very limited. We got the Truffle meat lover ramen w/soft boiled egg. We also ordered a side of the house made Wagyu wontons. I like the comic on the bag. It provided a little description of the owner. Neat! When I opened the container of broth, I could instantly smell the truffle. It smelled so good!! I couldn't wait to mix it with the noodles. I m not one who likes thin noodles, but these noodles were great. So good job on the noodles. When taking a taste of the broth, I got a little disappointed. It was saltier than expected. I didn't want to ruin the original flavor, but I had to squeeze some limes. It was also a bit too oily. I know the truffle played a part in it so I am just sad about the salty part. The Wagyu wontons didn't help. The skin was fine, but the filling was super salty. Yelp photos showing Michelin 2021, 2022, 2023, & 2024. Was the quality better back in the days? I dunno, but 2026 ...SaLTY. Still a good ramen, but I might need to wait till my levels get back on track before eating it again. I didn't go in to pick up the foods, but was told that service wasn't that good...kinda lacking.

It was 6:40 pm on a Sunday and the restaurant seems full. The ambience is cute inside. There are only two Japanese waiters speaking in broken English. Upon sitting, it took 15 min for anyone to come by to take the order. Then it took another 20 min & multiple asks to get the beer that was ordered. No water provided the whole time. The udon came out another 20 min later. Followed by takoyaki in another 5 min. Finished food in 10 min and paid and left. Since there was nothing to do for a good 35 min, I was observing other customers. There was no easy way to quickly input orders. There was no fast way to pay and leave. The two overworked servers had to wait one by one to take orders and pay. There was absolutely no order or ways to keep track who came first or last (the table after me finished eating before I got my beer). Speaking do the food, the #1 spicy niku udon was so salty that there's no way to drink any of the soup. Since there's no complimentary water serves, I dumped an entire bottle of my own water to be able to eat it. There were maybe a few slices of beef at most. Definitely not a yummy udon. Best part was takoyaki - I have to say this is the best thing I've had in the restaurant. Ultimately, I concur with the recent reviews - this is not a real 4-star place.

Mee Dee Thai Kitchen

I've lived in LA for 5 years. I love Thai food. Mee Dee is one of my two favorite spots. I…read moreregularly drive 20ish minutes to hit this place. Personally, I'm obsessed with the Lamb Shank Massaman Curry and Pad Thai. The curry might be the best in the city. It was kind of funny -- I was already thinking that, and the father of the family next to my brother and me said the same thing to his wife. And the Pad Thai? Super thin, almost angel hair pasta-like noodles. SUPER. GOOD. I've never had anything from here I didn't think was exceptional. And this is definitely the only Thai spot I feel that way about. Only minor knock: I picked up my Pad Thai today through GrubHub and the interaction was a little odd. The owner, I assume, wasn't friendly, and my order wouldn't pull up on GrubHub, which is on me. He's probably used to delivery service drivers, but still, ask human beings "How are you doing?" before interrogating them. TLDR: the food is amazing. GO!!!

For dessert we ordered mango sticky rice. I would definitely like to try this place in person - but overall takeout was good, typical Thai food. I do think the spice levels could be more intense - I feel like it's hard to gage spice intensity because it varies from place to place. But I can say the medium here was not spicy at all, just a heads up for my spice lovers!! Don't be shy with the levels! Parking does seem to be only metered street parking from my experience picking up.

The veggie egg rolls are quite possibly the best we've ever had. Inside is filled with vermicelli, mushrooms, and other veggies, but everything is so well balanced. And with a dip of the sweet chili sauce, and it honestly can't get any better. The Pad Thai and Pad Kra Pow are just as good as you think they'd be with all the right flavors and spices. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and giving Sticky Rice a try for yourself!
