    Kid 2's build a bowl. Too bad the potatoes don't taste as good as they look.
    Jay T.

    Our first food experience in Toledo. We'll be here a couple of days, so fortunately we'll have time to make some better choices. We had to place our order on a touchscreen kiosk like it was Taco Bell or something. I despise that. If I wanted to avoid human interaction, I would have stayed home. My Bride ordered a standard teriyaki chicken bowl. I got the "Thai Guy" peanut curry chicken bowl. The kids did build-your-own bowls, and got that hypersweetened tea with the little balls in. None of our food was actually served warm. Mine was warm noodles with cold ground chicken, warm peapods and matchstick carrots, covered with literally RAW jalapeño slices and sprouts. Kid 1's bowl included roasted garlic cloves - they were so cold, they must have just come out of the fridge, but they included a surprise chunk of chicken bone, so that's something, I guess. Kid 2 had gotten "seasonal potatoes." On the bright side, they were blue potatoes, which are usually delicious. But these were both ice cold AND weirdly seasoned with a spice mix that was completely at odds with their teriyaki sauce. The ballful teas were, I'm told, good. At six bucks apiece, they ought to have been! After two days in the car, we just weren't even in the mood to deal with the hassle, so we got to-go lids for our boxes (they don't, evidently, use dishes) and took our food back to the hotel. Once we ran it through the microwave, it was actually pretty tasty. The total cost for two standard bowls, two build your own bowls, and two large cups of tea was $56.03 including tax, which wasn't too bad. In Richmond I'd have paid more than twice as much in tax, but those people are crazy. TL;DR- tasty enough once microwaved, but if you like your food served above room temperature, there are a lot of other restaurants in the area, and I'd recommend trying one.

    Soooooo stoked to have these guys downtown. It's great to have another healthy option that doesn't require me driving to west Toledo, and the demand is CLEARLY there. I popped in today for a quick to-go order and the line for ordering and waiting for orders was out the door! Pro tip: order online using their app 15-20 minutes prior to arriving. I noticed several people grabbing their online orders and then grabbing a seat. Smart!

    Orange Crunch Taco, SoHo Taco, and Mongo Taco.

    I come to this spot every Wednesday for lunch...it never disappoints...I don't think there is a bad item on the menu...wether you get the creamy wontons, the citrus Brussels Sprouts, a few tacos, or one of their bowls - you are in for good eating...it is vegetarian and vegan friendly, if that is your preference, or if you can get your meal with steak or chicken...the place if very clean, which is something I appreciate very much...though I am not a fan, they do have a Bubble Tea bar which is extremely popular! The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge! Definitely recommend anyone and everyone.

As I'm sitting on the bench it's been a while and I'm still waiting on the meal I ordered. you can clearly see the cooks through the glass and I don't wanna be staring at them but I took a peep to see if my bowl was being made. Based on what I ordered it was. So as I notice that I see this working looking at my bowl and then reach her hand in the bowl and take a bean sprout out of the bowl and eat it!!! Like yo wtf is that. She had gloves on so I'm just like ok you weirdo I guess enjoy that, but then she takes the same hand dips in my bowl AGAIN and eats a piece of chicken! That hand with a glove on or not just made contact with your nasty mouth and now ur dipping your hand back into my bowl? wtf is wrong with these workers. So Im like alright there's no way that's my bowl. It has to be hers she's making and she's boutta take a lunch break. As I watch the bowl go down the line it goes in a bag. With my luck my name gets called. Yup. Same bowl that just got double dipped. Now getting served to me. Sloppy seconds... Figures. Just my luck bro. No I didn't say anything as I took the order and left and just didn't eat it. I hate altercations and don't need my bowl to be remade with (attitude) if ya get what I mean. If this girl did this with a legit customer watching her god knows what she's doing to mobile orders when no customers are in the building. And I'm gonna straight up say it to call her out. It was a heavy set female with a rainbow bandana on. Absolutely disgusting of a place. Other workers watched her do it too. Nobody said anything. Do not go here unless you want a good ol spit bowl (And I'm not talking about the good kind.)

I ordered iced tea and vegetable spring rolls to begin, and decided on Happy Family with chicken and shrimp for my entree. I like to wash my hands before eating and the restroom was scrupulously clean, which always makes a good impression. I was there at 4 pm so there were not a lot of people in the dining room yet and i could tell they were running a booming business in takeout calls. The starter came quickly with my drink, followed soon by my Happy Family meal, steaming hot! It is rare to get a restaurant meal hot these days and it was so appreciated. The spring rolls were delicious and the entree was perfect. The vegetables were crisp tender and fresh. The shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly and all were served over a plentiful bowl of white rice in a large bowl in a light gravy. (Brown rice is also available if you desire). I had a doctor's appointment earlier so had not eaten that day and i devoured this meal. SO GOOD! There was enough that i could have taken some home but the food was so good i just kept eating. While i am not a drinker, QQ Kitchen does offer alcoholic beverages. Two workers came in, sat at the bar and enjoyed drinks with their meals. One of the men said to me, "Isn't this place great? Best food in Toledo!" I had to agree. The servers kept my iced tea filled and even gave me one to go. The bill was reasonable. This restaurant is highly recommended. Well trained, friendly servers, the owner was there cooking among his cooks, and it was a peaceful, yummy experience. There are also Thai and Korean menu choices here. Many vegetarian options are available, as well as "choose your protein" options. Plenty of parking as it is in a strip mall off Secor, wheelchair accessible, children and families welcome.

Tonight was our lucky night as we were seated within minutes of our arrival. QQ Kitchen is very unassuming upon entry. Small sitting area that was filled with people waiting for their take-out orders. The dining area is small and decor is simple. There is one TV monitor and tonight, "Triple D" (Diners, Drive-Ins, Dives) was on. How appropriate, huh? Menu has a lot to offer making it challenging to arrive at a snap decision. Many great choices. We started off with Spring Rolls. Very refreshing taste and the peanut dipping sauce was quite tasty. Our dinner selections: Drunken Noodles; and Pad Thai w Shrimp. Both these dishes were excellent and very fairly priced for the food quality and portion size. A great deal of foot traffic for take-out orders during the entire time we were in the restaurant. Good sign. We had a fantastic meal and we will definitely be back yo visit QQ Kitchen. Well done!

Their sign is easy to see as you drive by, but my friend did give me a heads up that their door was not obvious. You need to walk through a fence and then open a non deacript door. The artwork outside is awesome! When we walked in we received a friendly greeting and were quickly shown to our seats. We had made a reservation ahead of time and there was no delay to seat us upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders right away. I appreciated that they had multiple non alcoholic drinks and at a fair price. I started with the Thai Iced tea which was delicious, but I would have loved a glass 2x the size! We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy. I would absolutely ordered these again. I would say that both of those dishes were only for 2 people. The sticky rice and jasmine rice were as to be expected, and I personally felt that the papaya salad was not as good as others I have had. The chilli noodles had an amazing broth and I would also recommend. Overall, I did enjoy our dinner but I am not sure that I would go out of my way to return. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on the sticly ribs alone, otherwise a 3.5 would be more fair. I have been hearing about Takoi for years, so maybe my epxections were too high but I was expecting a bit more.

The pork buns were flavorful, sweet, and a little tangy. The pork belly in the ramen was SO FLAVORFUL, literally the best I've ever had! It was a little tough in some parts, but the flavor was seriously amazing. The portions were HUGE too, you'll definitely have some leftovers afterwards or could at the very least take the broth home and make some ramen yourself. The service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was kind and accommodating. Service seemed a little slow, but the place was completely full, so it was understandable. Everyone still had a smile on their face and made sure we had everything we needed! My only real "complaint" about the ramen was that the egg wasn't soft-boiled. I can definitely see how that would be difficult to keep up with when you're getting so many orders every day, though. Eggs like that are pretty fragile and don't last long when they have a runny yolk, so I understand why they might not be practical for a busy restaurant. The inside was okay, nothing fancy, and honestly a little messy in the back with some extra food/stuff sitting around. However, the bar counter and floor were very clean and were wiped down after each customer, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ramen! The pork belly alone was worth it.
