I ordered an UBerEats from Donkey MO's for the first time because after watching Netflix Korean…read morecooking shows ... the craving of Korean fried wings was real. First time trying Donkey MO's and I was so surprised how good it was... even for take out delivery! I ordered the 10 Wings combo with French fries . The wings was super crispy and still hot! The plain French fries was good but nothing special. It paired well with the wings and to dip it in the wing sauces. Flavors Soy Garlic: super delicious! Highly recommend! and holy donkey : my gawdddddd I died eating this! It was so freaking spicy I couldn't feel my mouth, started sweating immediately, and my stomach was turning. Somehow it was addictive and I was able to eat 2 before surrendering. This wing sauce is definitely for those who love spicy. it's hot! And that is coming from a person that can eat somewhat medium spicy. Do I recommend this place? I definitely want to try this place in person instead of take out. It was really good and I feel the wings were good size and the perfect amount of crispy even being coated with sauce. It's good! I definitely recommend this place ! If take out was great .. I'm sure sitting down at the restaurant and eating will be even greater!

Three stars after our first visit this past weekend, but with several asterisks because the food…read morehere is pretty darn good and we can definitely see ourselves coming back. *The girl working the register was really unfriendly and really unhelpful. Then menu itself was a bit confusing, so when one of us asked if it was possible, when ordering 10 pieces, to get 5 wings and 5 nuggets, she said YES. So, when we proceeded to order that way, she got all flustered and was like, no, no, no you can't do that! Oh, and then when we asked about any of our dishes coming with sides, only *then* did she suggest that we turn it into a combo. So, yeah, welcome to AI generation! (Needless to say, the two kids working were both on their phones a ton the whole time that we were there.) *It was cold outside and the A/C was on, so it was freezing. *Re. the K-Buffalo sauce: nothing very K about it! It was straight buffalo sauce. *Charging for a side of ranch sauce that clearly tasted like it came out of a bottle? Seriously? Lame-o. Other than the above complaints, we actually really liked this place. The vibe is chill and, as aforementioned, we enjoyed most of the food. The dumplings are 100% not homemade, but they toss them in a decent sauce so they can be more palatable (we would skip those). The fries are nice and crispy, and the brussels sprouts are excellent. So, so good, and a decent amount as well. The radishes are the typical ones you get at these joints, and they are a must. As for the main star, the chicken, it was as it should be: with shattering layers of breading and hot meat on the inside. The coating was almost a bit too thick, though. We liked the soy garlic sauce and just wished there was some actual Korean aspect to the buffalo. Prices were consistent with portions, and they do have respectable beers on draft. We have some quibbles, yes, so it's 3 stars for now, but we'll definitely be back because it's close to home and will hopefully have a more overall impressive experience next time.

This was my first time trying Korean hot dogs and OoooohK-Dog…read more We ordered a few different dogs and an egg toast so we could try a bit of everything. The potato dog was a big standout. Crispy on the outside with fluffy potato chunks and honestly didn't even need the mustard drizzle after all. Crunchy, salty, and ridiculously fun to eat. The classic mozzarella dog was also solid with that satisfying cheese pull everyone wants and a perfectly fried coating. The batter was my favorite part of everything we tried. I'm convinced they could batter a book and it would still be good! The egg toast surprised me. I love egg sandwiches but this was STACKED. Now I'm genuinely sad I don't have this spot near me because I would eat that egg toast constantly. Thick, buttery toast stuffed with soft eggs, avocado, and a sauce that I have no idea what it was but absolutely loved. It tied everything together perfectly and made the whole sandwich feel extra special. I wish they sold this sauce in a bottle for my eggs at home! The space itself is clean, casual, and easy to navigate. Plenty of room to sit without feeling cramped, ordering was simple, and the menu does a great job explaining all the options. The staff was super helpful and even pointed us toward the most popular items to try first. This is the kind of place you stop into out of curiosity and leave already planning your next order. If you like street food, and eats that are a little different but still familiar, this is absolutely worth the stop. Crispy, cheesy, and very snackable.

This was my first time enjoying Korean corn dog, and it was amazing. If you're craving a fun and…read moreridiculously delicious snack, these Korean corn dogs are a must-try. The outside had that perfect golden crunch, and the inside was soft and cheesy. We tried a few different styles from the classic with ketchup and mustard to the sugar-coated one and the potato-crusted version. The sweet-and-savory combo was so good, and the cheese pull top tier.

It is great paired with the rice, and the pickled radish is a good palate cleanser. However, the service from the male servers is consistently disappointing. Every time I visit when they are working, the service is significantly slower. I often see them standing around doing nothing while the female servers are running around doing most of the work. They rarely check in on the table unless food is being delivered, and getting the check takes forever even when they are just standing by the register. My party and I usually have to walk up to the register ourselves just to ask to be checked out. I feel bad for the female staff because they are perfectly attentive and seem to be carrying the weight of the service. Also, a heads up on their rewards program: it's pretty weak. You earn 100 points per $1, but you need 5,000 points just for a side of steamed rice. Spending $50 for a $2 side doesn't feel like much of a reward. I hope management addresses the service imbalance because the food is great, but the experience depends entirely on who is working that day.

It's nice to hang out for a bit since it's so well kept and the lighting is nice. The food is the usual franchise stuff. It's fast and good and filling. I would recommend stopping in if you have a craving, but I would not go out of my way to come here. The veggie options are limited but I have had no problems with the rice or noodles. I have been told that the chicken is really good, and hubs enjoys whatever the beef dish is that he gets here. It's perfectly fine. Oh I will note that I tend to stop in outside of typical busy hours for a fast food place, so I cannot attest to how this spot handles a lunch or dinner rush.

Although it seemed like a great deal, unfortunately the food quality was very disappointing. Their flavors are a combination of Chinese roots with an American taste and they serve dishes that are authentically American Chinese. However this visit just totally missed the mark. I placed my to-go order using the app and the logistics of ordering went smoothly. My order was ready when promised. Parking was readily available however the restaurant did not feel safe. There was an individual in the parking lot that appeared to be taking to themselves so I just tried to get in and out quickly. The restaurant looked like the typical Panda Express layout. I was addressed quickly and service was attentive and friendly. The plates you can choose from a selection of two entrees and one side. For the first plate, I ordered mushroom chicken and broccoli beef with chow mein noodles, and second plate ordered honey walnut shrimp and broccoli beef with fried rice. The to-go order was packed securely and had plenty of sauces and utensils. Overall, the food quality was sub par. The rice was bland and very dry. The meats and vegetables tasted overcooked, and most of the dishes didn't have enough sauce, making everything taste dry and lacking flavor. I am very hesitant to order from here again based on my disappointing experience. Seems to have decreased in quality from what I remember.

Back to Shanghai and I believe they improved so much since the last time I visited!…read more We came with a large group of 12 people and all to be seated at a lazy Susan with no wait during Sunday lunch. Ordering is still done with the QR code so we had one person order all the food and then we split the bill afterwards. You have to pay first before the order gets sent to the kitchen. The service has improved slightly, with us being so close to the kitchen. We were able to flag down servers to help us get an extra plate, tea cups, etc. Got a variety of dim sum classics: hargow (shrimp dumpling), siu mai, rice noodles, custard buns, chicken feet, chow fun, egg tarts, soy sauce noodles, charsiu bao, turnip cake My favorites are the siu mai, chow fun and custard buns! They also have non-traditional dim sum dishes such as soup dumplings, which actually originated from Shanghai. We got them and they were ok. We ordered a second time to get more custard buns but it seemed they ran out so it took some time for them to make them fresh. When they finally came, the buns were not smooth and it really looks like the custard was about to burst. Someone bit into theirs and the custard exploded onto their shirt. However, we all had a good laugh and still enjoyed the food. Have to have tea during dim sum so we also got our puer and chrysanthemum tea mix. Not sure if they usually charge for this, but we got it complimentary! Yay! If you are familiar with dim sum, then you know these are smaller dishes meant to be shared among the group! Everybody ate and was satisfied. Each person paid about $25 after tip! There's a designated parking lot with lots of spots. If you are looking for a dim sum spot that is not too busy, this is the place to go to!

Ordering is through QR code and they did not know what order went to which table. They put food on our table and took it back to a different table TWICE. The good: the dim sum tasted legit. I'd recommend the shrimp rice roll. If service was better and their ordering system was more organized, this could be such a bomb place!
