We needed a different vibe, so yes.. so excited for Mongolian BBQ. My first time there, I wasn't sure what to do, there was no one at the counter so I had to flag someone to come help. The guy there seems like he didn't want to be there, so I kinda felt unwelcome. I got the regular bowl, and he asked for sauce preference... I also tried their seafood boil. You pick 2 seafood and it comes with rice, 1 corn and 1 potato. No different sauce, just spice level. After paying, walk towards the toppings and stack your bowl. Meats, veggies whatever your heart desires. All meats looked broken up, and all items were very low. Nothing was filled. After you finish piling the bowl with whatever toppings they have...the guy at the end will cook it, and Toss in the noodles or rice if you prefer. After a few minutes, foods done. Let's eat. So my first bite of the noodles was bland, just salty. I had to add in some sriracha for flavor. Then onto the seafood boil. First bite, omg so salty. Tired the rice. So dry. I got the shrimp n mussels. Both are so overcooked. The only item edible was the potato since I peeled the skin. Had to Toss the rest away. So disappointed

Finally a place that doesn't skimp on portions or flavor. I would say that I eat quite a bit so to…read moreget a consistently hefty plate with all the toppings you want that can fit in a bowl because you're serving it yourself! The beef and pork are soaking in that flavor, fresh veggies, you can make your own sauce with extra on the side, and the heated plate gives it a nice almost char flavor without the smoke. Pair that with the seating at the Annex or grabbing a table with Bottle & Pint and that's the best of both worlds. The price may seem like a lot but the regular bowl if you stack it high could easily be 2 meals, I usually opt for the noodles and stacking on veggies you know don't tend to wilt when they're cooked to maximize volume, but I'm glad they reopened after their quick hiatus!

The Rangoon had a great crunch and came in a generous serving. I was not a very big fan of the sweet and sour sauce though, small packet and not a very notable flavor.

I have ordered about half of the items on their menu and realized you just cannot go wrong. All of the dishes I've tried were cooked to perfection. At some places, you realize all of the sauces taste the same. Not this place. Every dish is cooked to perfection and the kicker is that any wok-fried dishes have a smokiness that upgraded my expectations of thai food. They will serve your food piping hot and have all the sauces/toppings on the table for you to add to taste. I'd definitely recommend this place to a friend. Decor is simple and vibe is laid-back. Their high ratings are not exaggerating this place. One of my favorite Thai spots now. No frills, amazing service. Cheers and happy dining! Disclaimer: their spice level is no joke. Medium is right at my level of spice tolerance, but oh so delicious. Maybe start mild or get no spice if spiciness is not for you.

Their lunch special is an incredible value and comes with soup, salad, a vegetable egg roll, and your choice of entrée. We ordered the Pad See Ew with shrimp and the green curry, and both were packed with flavor. Everything came out fresh and surprisingly fast. The service was just as memorable as the food. I loved the soup so much that I asked if I could order some to take home, and our waitress kindly surprised me with a complimentary larger serving. When she found out we're expecting another baby, she even gave us a thoughtful little baby gift, which was such a sweet and unexpected gesture. Delicious food, generous portions, and genuinely kind service. We'll definitely be back again very soon!

I've tried this place twice and with each time the experience improved…read more First visit: 3/5 Walked in, only two other tables were occupied. I was greeted politely by the lady. She indicated I could sit wherever I wanted. I ordered the cashew nut with shrimp lunch special and water. Food came out very fast. It was presented nicely on a plate. The small bowl of soup was tasty, it had a peppery and garlicky flavor. However I wished it was more hot as the temperature felt just above warm but not hot. The egg roll tasted ok, but was small and the skin was a bit thick. For the cashew nut with shrimp, there were only three shrimp. At first I didn't see any cashew nuts as I was expecting to see whole or halves cashew nut, however I realized in this dish they were crushed, it was just a little bit difficult to find due to the dark sauce. The salad was finished in a few bites. Although the heart shaped rice was cute, I could definitely eat another one or at least half. After finishing everything in my meal I did not feel full. I also did not get my water. Second visit: 4/5 I was greeted by the lady and this time she recognized me from my first visit. She seemed much more friendly and welcoming this time. This time I ordered off the regular menu instead of the lunch specials. I got the spicy basil leaves with chicken and the avocado salad. At first I was worried about the spice level but this dish was not spicy at all, it had more of a tangy flavor. The à la carte portion does seem bigger than the lunch special. It still came with the same heart shaped rice. The avocado salad was ok. I started using the dressing on the salad but ended up using more of the peanut sauce instead. For me it made the salad taste much better. The lady was very kind to give me a complimentary cup of their house soup, even though my order did not come with it. I also got my water this time. Overall the food tasted good. May need to order an appetizer to feel more satisfied. I would still be back when in this area.

Unfortunately, the quality of the food preparation seems to have declined since my first visits,…read moreand my most recent experiences have been disappointing. I gave the restaurant another opportunity yesterday, but unfortunately, I left disappointed again. It appears they have done away with their old bento boxes. The dishes used for the banchan with the lunch special still have a somewhat dated appearance, including some chipped pieces. Considering the relatively high price of the lunch special, I would think updating the presentation and serving ware would be worthwhile. The service, however, remains friendly and efficient. I ordered the bulgogi, and while it wasn't bad tasting, it didn't seem to be prepared properly. The meat texture was a bit mushy and onions had no caramelization, and the dish lacked the rich, savory flavor and texture that makes good bulgogi so enjoyable. It almost tasted as though it had been cooked at too low a temperature. Unfortunately, the banchan were also disappointing. They were very bland overall. The carrot in the potato-and-carrot dish had an odd taste that reminded me of cleaning solution, so I actually spit it out and didn't eat the rest. The kimchi portion was extremely small and, frankly, didn't look particularly appetizing, so I didn't try it. The radish was also very basic and lacked much flavor. The two wontons were unremarkable, although the radish soup was still good, as it usually is. The salad was fine as usual, and the mixed rice was tasty. Ultimately, though, when I'm paying around $23 before tax and tip for a lunch special and receiving such small portions and inconsistent food quality, I don't feel the meal represents a good value. I really wanted to give this place another chance because I enjoyed my earlier visits, but unfortunately, this most recent meal left me disappointed.

A big vegetarian and vegan selection of dishes and soup noodles as well as meat & seafood dishes for those who want it. This is a fusion between Thai and Japanese food with an emphasis on Thai dishes. There were ramen options with Thai curries and fixings which was interesting. I ordered the vegan option with soft tofu, Green Garden. This was loaded with tons of veggies! It had a clear broth which had a simple flavor to it and paired nicely with the fresh ingredients. On the wall, there hung two guitars. One of the guests picked it up and strummed a few songs for his kids. It was really nice background music while we ate. Honestly, it was so wholesome. Next to the guitars are a collection of heart post-its with fun messages left by previous patrons. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be a regular here. The portions are perfect and reasonably priced.

From the…read moreparking lot we could see only one table with a two people, but a large, happy looking, family was exiting with arm fulls of to go bags so we decided to chance it, my partner especially excited for hot pot. We let the group pass us and entered the restaurant. We were promptly seated at a corner table and given menus. It did take a bit for the server to come back to take our order, but we did realize we came in 1/2 hour before closing, so we eased off a bit. My partner order the hot pot and was very happy with his choice. The server came back with a hot plate and instructed us how to cook the meat. I was a bit apprehensive about having to cook my own food, but the fragrant smell as it cooked changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the veg and meat were tender as they soaked up the soupy goodness. I also ordered the boa buns and the pillowy texture, mixed with the soft pork and crunchy cucumber and carrots made my belly sing. We slurped up our food and cleared out as quickly as we could. I hate being that person that lingers at closing time. What I do regret is that I did not take more time at their counter as we exited because it was full of snacks and curios that I love. Next time for sure!
