Popped in for a quick lunch. They have a large & diverse menu. Made it a bit tough to choose, but that isn’t a bad thing. Steamed Vegetable Dumplings and Kimchi Tofu Stew was the perfect choice for me. The dumplings were flavorful, tender, & fresh! The stew was steamy & bubbling as it arrived at my table. Spicy, but not too spicy (I ordered medium heat), it had layers of flavor with carrots, scallions, red onions, glass noodles, & cabbage (from the kimchi). It was a large serving that came with a side of rice. The stew was hearty, tangy, & savory, with a little bit of sass!

Wow what a find! Great place for a quick diner and some of the best Asian food I have had. The General Tao was incredible. Deep rich flavor and just the right hint of kick at the end. Wife had the basil chicken and loved it. By the way do yourself a favor and get the fried rice. It was the best I may have ever had. Just not your run of the mill flavor.

Don’t know how the food taste and won’t lie and say it’s bad because my wife was treated unfair. As she walked in to get an order there was a line behind her of food people who were there to pick up orders also and she was told to hold as everyone behind her who wasn’t black received there order. Then she was handed an order that she gladly refused due to the racism

I’ve visited this restaurant a handful of times in the past, and I’ve been impressed by their sushi. Today I ordered their drunken noodles with chicken, and it was NOT good! The noodles says “chicken”, but I’ve never been to a Thai restaurant that serves this dish with grounded chicken. Plus, the noodles that I ordered were ‘white’, which meant that they were not sautéed with the veggies and other ingredients. I saw a couple of comments around the drunken noodles here, but I’m a foodie, and these were gross … Do not get drunken noodles!

Very pleased with my meal here. The service was excellent but unobtrusive. Salad and entree were extremely tasty and brought out in a very timely manner. I highly recommend this restaurant

I was greeted with a smile when I arrived. I like that. But….The rice to my sushi was a little”Tangy” like that fermented taste. I got a California roll. It just had real Crab meat in it and avocado.(only) I thought a California rolls had carrots and cucumber in it ? I don’t know if I’ll try to come back to give them redemption.

We dined in last night and had the most amazing meal. Our host was so lovely and welcoming. I only wish that we were local so that we could dine again and again. Thank you for showing 2 Australians wonderful hospitality.

The waitress was impolite, the lunch bowl had no veggies. I had to ask for everything (no pro active service). My miso soup came after the main dish.
