First time with my family on a early Sunday evening. Sat outside bc we brought our dog. Kids loved the fried chicken and pork belly bowls. My tofu bowl was also delish. Kids soup noodles is great for a more plain taste of kids. Garlic noodles was a little too saucy. But still tasty. Overall great. Service was awesome. Helping with menu selection and prompt delivery.

Michelin-star Chef James Syhabout brings brilliance to this fast-casual fusion counter service gem.

Excellent, excellent. And reasonable prices like $14/15 for an entree. The blistered green beans were nicely spicy and the garlic noodles were satisfying.

First time here. Order at the counter, bus your own table – no frills. Food had good flavor, but my salad was dry (even with dressing). I think if they are going to have dine-in service, then they should have staff to accommodate. Very pleasant people, though!

Enjoyed the chicken rice bowl and the ahi poke bowl over mixed greens. Both were delicious.

Oh my clucking goodness. This place is super tasty and has a great vibe. Came here during the smokepocalypse for a safe haven, and boy did I find one. Deep-fried chicken sammie goodness, tasty tater tots for days, and poached chicken that’s miles better than Rooster and Rice. Their iced coffee was even amazing. What kind of godsend is this place?

Delicious fusion of thai and chicken sandwich. My friends call it “Thai Bake Sale Betty’s”. Not only delicious, but at a very reasonable price, a rarity in the trendy Temescal area.

We stopped here for lunch & really enjoyed it. The tofu salad had the absolute best tofu I’ve ever eaten. Asked for extra sauces and would highly recommend putting the tamarind sauce on absolutely anything.

Your car will 100% be broken into here. Even with nothing showing at all. Ours did right in front of us. And 911 was an 18 min wait and they said “this happens dozens of times a day there, make a report online.” This area is absolutely doomed – especially when there is 0 police and they don’t prosecute. These people get away with everything and business owners are letting it happen. No cameras or security. They don’t care.

Only been once and had the fried chicken sandwich which was delicious. The bread is soft and tasty, heaps of veggies and the chicken breast was pretty big. The bar looks good, they have a tv with football on so I may come back for that. Overall would recommend.
