The menu is huge and has such a broad variety, but it was actually to the point of being…read moreoverwhelming. They have sushi, stir fries, pho, and more. Everything sounded good and everything I tried had excellent flavors. Prices are about what you'd expect. Tons of variety in sushi alone, but the menu is so huge that it can definitely be overwhelming. I'd recommend choosing one section and committing to choose from within it because it's very overwhelming otherwise. It's quite small inside, so you'll be very close to the table next to you. It's definitely not the place if you're bothered by close proximity to others or if you are uncomfortable conversing in close proximity to the strangers next to you. If you have any issues with strange people being near you, you may not be able to tolerate this place. I really loved the ceviche with the soy sauce, green onion, jalapeno and sesame seeds. It was very flavorful! This particular ceviche was in a different place on the menu. Just a heads-up, I had a great waiter who informed me that the tamago has gluten in the binder, so definitely bear that in mind if you have gluten issues, as opposed to simply reading the menu and judging by that. The Tina roll made gluten-free was delicious. Somehow, there's gluten in the spicy sauce so, unfortunately, that's part of the dish. I really would've enjoyed the spicy sauce on the sushi, but appreciated the waiter's forewarning that the spicy sauce has gluten so that I didn't get sick. As for service, it was exceptionally warm and welcoming staff, very genuine. The waiter was excellent, and he even gave a recommendation without waiting to be asked, which I love, and his recommendation for the soy-based ceviche was wonderful. It had a surprising and very much-appreciated bite from jalapenos. The more traditional ceviche had a clear sauce with sliced jalapenos, and that was good too. I love that this place isn't afraid of punchy spice. There are a number of spicy options, and they're never dumbed down to please everyone. The fish didn't taste quite as clean and fresh as I'm used to, but the flavors in all of the dishes were amazing! No one got sick or anything like that, but the flavor of the fish itself could've been better in that sense.

I haven't reviewed Peter Chang's in a while so decided I'd revisit and make a new assessment. I can…read moreconfirm this is the best Chinese food in the area. And it's not dumbed down American Chinese at all. My husband and I both work from home so we get to go have lunch at area restaurants from time to time. We have our regular places and we order Peter Chang's for takeout sometimes, but when we were deciding where to eat and knowing we were short on time, I suggested Peter Chang. For our meal we ordered dumplings, which were amazing. The dipping sauce was to die for...I need to research it and try to make it. We also got the scallion pancake, which came with a curry dipping sauce. Also very good. For lunch there is a menu that is typical of Chinese restaurants where you get a choice of soup (I chose hot and sour) and rice (I chose white rice). For my main I selected hot and numbing chicken from the lunch menu. My husband got three pepper steak. We also got jasmine tea, although if you prefer an adult beverage they have a bar. The food was excellent, service was attentive but not overbearing. It was a great meal and we both have lots of leftovers. The restaurant can be a bit noisy because it's just a big open room, but it's okay. The table next to use was loud talkers with no inside voice, so I got to hear all about their trip to Charlottesville for a concert. Sounds like they had a good time. I wish people were more self-aware about the volume of their voices in public but maybe his ears were wrecked from the concert. P.S. Peter Chang was the chef to a Chinese dignitary like an ambassador so he's the real deal.

The lamb was great, but they only give 3 lamb lollipops for $35. It wasn't worth it…read more The rest of the food was not great. We ate the combination fried rice. It had too much soy sauce and you couldn't taste anything else. The white rice was dry and undercooked. I feel like this is an utter travesty. I was at least expecting good rice. The golden mountain had great flavor but I think it was a mistake to eat it at home. It was mushy by the time we ate it. You can taste the spite in general Tso's chicken. It's like they don't want you to order it. The flavor is just sweet without any complexity. I've had better flavored general Tso sauce from grocery store brands. It was also mushy by the time we ate it. I would never order this again from them.

I do see people dining in there so I'm not sure why there's always like boxes like laying around in the dining area. On table tops. On the floors. I noticed this during Covid but I thought it was fine because it was Covid, but now it's still messy in there. It does make me worry about the cleanliness of the place. Anyway, for the bubble tea. I only get bubble tea here so I don't know about the food. Their bubble tea is delicious. The chewiness of the Boba perfect and I s really good. The price point is decent for a bubble tea. I like that you are able to customize as much as you want. I either get the taro or brown sugar milk tea

A Yelp search landed me here as I love Korean food and this place was highly rated.

I really enjoyed the food and would definitely return to try other items.

We've been to similar…read morefood courts and ethnic restaurants in the past, so we thought we'd give it a try, especially based on the higher Yelp ratings. I must admit that we were disappointed. The decor was what you'd expect, with torn seats and unsteady tables, and the aromas from the seafood counter did nothing to help. Then food arrived; my bibimbap came with hot stone bowl (which cost extra) and it was needed since the food was room temperature. After much stirring, it finally warmed up a bit. The egg was fried 'over hard' - not a nice runny yolk that should ooze and coat the rice. Also there was no seasoning, fortunately a side dish of gochujang was provided. Wife had ma pa tofu which was...different - in a Korean/Chinese fusion. Not traditional, but tasted better than mine. All-in all, not worth while.

MPM is a very cute space. I love the design of tiki bars and I think it's the best place for a first date or girls day out. I will be returning to check out their happy hour and specialty cocktails.

At first, I wasn't completely sold after looking at the menu as I didn't immediately see anything I wanted to eat as most tiki bars we have been to are more on the dive bar side so regular bar foods. So, the plan was to grab a couple drinks and find dinner somewhere else nearby. I am so glad my fiancé talked me into staying because this place absolutely knocked me off my feet. -I highly recommend the Nuclear Hawaiian and the Hello Kitty!!!! When we mentioned we weren't sure about the food, the bartenders jumped right in with recommendations and suggested the calamari and crab rangoon and they were spot on! When the food arrived, everything was perfectly cooked. The calamari was tender with a great texture, and the crab rangoon was crisp with amazing flavor. I went from I am not hungry to I could eat multiple plates of the same thing. We ended up staying for hours watching college football and mingling with some of the regulars. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and we genuinely had such fun conversation with people around us. We even heard from several folks that this place really comes alive during karaoke nights. At one point an older heavyset lady who we later found out was one of the cooks came out to chat with people. She was checking in to make sure everyone liked their food and catching up with the regulars like family. it really showed how much the staff cares about the people that walk through the door. MPM Tiki Bar feels like a true local gem with great drinks, delicious food, and a staff that makes you feel welcome from the moment you sit down. I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here multiple times a week. if your anywhere near this restaurant, dont skip this spot trust me!

You wanna talk about Christmas spirit??? This definitely needs to be on your stop for Christmas bars in RVA! The decor is the cutest! We were sat and our server greeted us immediately with a Christmas inspired drink menu and ready to explain their menu to us as two of us were first timers. When in doubt I always order a Espresso martini with tequila and this did not fail me. I also enjoyed the Spanish mule and hot tea at the end with a shot of Burbon. I definitely thanked the bartender when I left. We had sushi as our apps and quickly found out why YaYa's is top rated in RVA for its sushi. When I say FRESH! We had the chicken tempura and the jambalaya rolls. For dinner some ordered rolls again which from the chatter at the table the YaYa roll with the flame cooked Filet Mignon on top is an instant Yes! I have a tree nut allergy so Thai and Asian food can be Tricky. I had the drunken noodles that I subbed the flat noodle for a rice noodle and added chicken and did level 3 spice. This was so delicious I've gone back twice this week for this order. The service and the food were amazing and I am most likely going to become a regular here! Can't wait to sit in the swing seats at the sushi bar. I highly suggest you add YaYa's to your RVA eats!
