    Chicken Pad Thai
    Monica C.

    The establishment is very clean staff are attentive and the food is cooked to order so it's fresh

    Chicken Satay
    Nick S.

    It was cold and rainy one afternoon, and I decided to try this particular Thai spot to warm up I am always in search of the next best red curry dish, and while Chaba offers many curry dishes, they don't offer red curry. I pivoted to their green curry, and it was great The ambiance is nice. Thai decor all around, clean tables, and music playing The staff were very nice and attentive. Anytime I needed water or something they were quick to get it for me. The food came out very fast. I ordered an appetizer and it came out within minutes, and my entree seemed to come out within seconds of the app The menu offers a variety of Thai delicacies as well as other Asian cuisine dishes. Plenty of appetizers, soups/salads, entrees, kids options, beverages, and desserts While the staff if very helpful and the service solid, I did notice that they sort of just hovered in the corner watching and waiting to be of assistance. This felt slightly awkward having them just standing and watching, but I know they meant well Some tips: The spice level (heat) ranges from low, medium, high, and "Thai hot." I got the second most spicy, and it definitely packed some heat. There are also boba drinks to choose from with a variety of flavors and the options for tapioca, jelly, or poppers. I had the coconut drink with jelly and I was very impressed. I usually love chicken satay, but I didn't much care for this one in taste, appearance, or texture. And if you can't finish your meal, request to-go containers... but be careful, if it's a curry or soup, it can drip into the bag like mine did Cheers!!

    Food was good overall but pricey There is one female staff worker who seems very rude but we think it's a cultural thing with8n the rudeness c9mments and expressions. Had a bad experience with her when we initially did take out. This time we went for lunch and she refused to seat me at a semi booth saying it's only for 4 ppl. However, there were a party of 3 already seated and there were numerous 2 seater tables along the wall where they were empty. After wanting to walk out, and I said my back cannot handle the reg tables and chairs, she relented. Broken English makes the communication a challenge , however, later on one staff member, we think higher up the chain of command, seemed nicer. My husband refuses to return due to the attitude. I agree, though the location is great for us. They give discounts on Yelp check ins for groups only.

    I like the vibe of this place. It's peaceful. I needed that this day. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but just having moved to the area I want to work my way through a menu if I like a place. I wanted to give this place a try. I love Tom Yum & Tom Kha. So, I ordered Tom Kha with shrimp. I've never had it quite this dark before. I believe it was the mushrooms. Which I loved. I'm a huge fan. But, it does make the flavor lean that way. Still very tasty. Try it. I also got fried tofu. I like it. I know it's a texture issue for many. But fried, it's not for me. They fry theirs perfectly! I may get this every single time. I asked for a side of peanut sauce & it was perfect. The biggest issue I had was cashing out. If I hadn't paid attention my lunch would've cost me twice the amount. It took about 20 minutes to fix the issue, & the money had to be refunded. It was a mess. But they were so sweet about it. New software can be a pain for everyone. Never lose your patience. I've found a new place to try out & learn their menu & get to know the staff.

    To go food was pretty spot on. When we called to order for pick up, rep informed us of what was not available and accommodations were met without asking. Food arrived and family was fed. Man, these portions are def made for two. (But I'm glad it's alll mine!)

    Beverages to start.

    It was great. The food was excellent. The service was friendly. Uni, the hostess and waitress was so kind. Can't wait to go back! No regrets!

    Pad See Ewe
    Marcus D.

    Despite a funny smell when I entered the restaurant and only one server taking care of five tables and all take out orders, the food and the service was very good. The spring rolls had a great peanut sauce and the pad see ewe had an extra kick with dried chili pepper seeds. Nice decor, good meal and experience. Would go back if in town.

    4 Chicken Egg Rolls

    This place is an absolute gem. I go here once a week and i love giving them my business! I pay about $25 for what i want and it honestly makes 2-3 meals for me and always tastes good after being re heated. it's definitely worth the price! The service is always fast, the ambiance is calming and gives off good vibes.

    A very interesting experience. We visited restaurant twice…read morefor dinner, on Sunday and on Tuesday. After Sunday visit, I was ready to say that the experience was 7out of 5. After Tuesday visit, the rating remains on 5, but only because we had an amazing time on Sunday. Maybe on Tuesday there was a different chef, but food just didn't taste the same, and a few Sunday dishes we asked for on Tuesday (standard menu) were sold out. Both times I had rice lager specially brewed for the restaurant, and it was delicious. An absolute highlight on Sunday was the dish called Hand of God - the smoky wagyu on top of the rice cake was just an absolute perfection, not anything I had before (this dish was not available on Tuesday). We also had similarly smoky vegetable roll which was also experience in itself. This was my first time at the sushi restaurant where waiter suggested that the nigiri pieces are perfectly ready to eat, require no extra soy sauce or wasabi, and should be picked up by hand instead of chopsticks - another wonderful experience. I also had few different nigiri piece, two different types of mackerel and uni - an absolute wow (on Sunday). Service was good both days, but still a little bit better on Sunday (better recommendations). Definitely recommended.

They have a garage attached and you can get it validated with the staff but it's kind of a complicated process for the amount of people coming per night for the restaurant. I would highly recommend making a reservation because every single table had a reserve sign on it. I got to try the gyozas, hamachi, shrimp tempura roll (not on happy hour menu), and various other rolls off the happy hour menu. My favorite was the gyozas and the hamachi. The gyozas had a nice sauce and it wasn't overly sweet. The hamachi tasted fresh and had good flavors. The rolls were not my favorite because they were very wet and not a lot of actual fish. My friend tried the fried fish dish and didn't enjoy it and he never complains about food. Service was odd too; they tried to act as if it was a bougie restaurant but the service didn't quite measure up. I felt a little rushed and our server wasn't really friendly. Interior is nice though.

    Came here on a Friday night for a double date. Definitely make a reservation because this place was…read morepacked and poppin. We didn't realize this place was a cousin of Shiro and owned by the same guy until we saw some similarities in their style, layout and menu but nevertheless, the food was still absolutely amazing. Even though the ambiance had some similarities, I'm glad their food options were distinguished because otherwise could have just gone downtown. You cannot go wrong with any of their food options. Highly recommend doing family style so you can get a taste of everything and all the different flavors. We started with the gyoza and calamari which were to die for and were not greasy at all. Pork ssam, wagyu, miso pasta and octopus all brought a little bit of their own element and flare to your palate that it's hard to describe unless you try it. Wagyu was just melt in your mouth delicious. Pork ssam and octopus had their crunchy texture and umami flavors. The miso pasta added a light refreshing touch to balance everything out but don't let it fool ya, the noodles will expand in your stomach. We topped it off with their yuzu cake. Our only disappointment was they were out of their other desserts but nevertheless everyone of us left full and happy. Would come here again.

    When I first read about Yozora, I honestly thought it sounded a bit pretentious. Fascinating, but…read morepretentious. Because the idea of music being an actual integral part of the dining experience--not just some kind of background noise--felt a little precious for my taste. I'm glad to admit I was wrong. So let's start with the ambiance and the vibe of Yozora. It's in a fairly non-descript kind of center; not bad but not specially memorable. But the space itself is open and has an air of restrained sophistication. And then there's that hi-fi set up. The music at Yozora really is part of the experience, but it's not intrusive in the way that you'd think. Most of what my dining companion and I heard was 50s and 60s jazz, and it was perfect for the occasion. Sushi and Coltrane are a great mix, and even though we were not far from the hi-fi system, I could hear every word of our conversation, without the need for either of us to raise a voice. Somehow, it's like the music operates on a different frequency from regular table chatter. Suffice to say, the music enhanced the mood and really set a scene for Yozora's chefs to tell some stories. And that, they do really well. We started out with seasonal tempura and miso masu ceviche--ocean trout marinated in miso, soy, and lime juice--that was sublime. But funnily enough, the real star small plate was a truffle creamy miso soup that was earthy and slightly sweet at the same time and was silky in texture. From there, we ordered a series of crudo and battera, each unique in its own way. It was wonderful stuff, accompanied by a rice lager. The kitchen at Yozora is not shy about experimenting with non-traditional flavors and ingredients. Sometimes it works really well; sometimes, not as well, but it's never bad, and the servers actually ask for feedback for the kitchen, which is something I rarely see. Yozora honestly seems to be most concerned with creating a great dining experience, and it does that, from the chefs to the line cooks to the servers (who are helpful and attentive without hovering). The music, the mood, and the menu add up to a memorable experience.

I was immediately annoyed because the music was very loud to me. That could have been due to the empty restaurant, the actual volume or my perception of the volume lol. I was really hoping for a more intimate vibe for conversation. The speakeasy lounge actually looked more like the vibe that I desired but I settled in and placed my order. I wanted some of the showier selections seen on IG, so I ordered the tuna tower and flaming Romeo & Juliet roll and a cute (albeit sweet) cocktail that came in a goldfish shaped glass. When the tuna tower arrived the young server asked me something several times which I couldn't hear over the music, so I just nodded. After she smashed the tuna tower, I figured out she was asking if I wanted it mixed. Lol my bad! I actually did not want it mixed but it was delicious anyway. The Romeo and Juliet roll took forever to stop flaming but once it died down, it was absolutely delicious. My partner enjoyed his roll as well and they gave him a complimentary birthday desert with sparklers. Overall I give service a 3. I would have liked a more professional presentation of the menu, hyping it up a bit. And a less soft spoken server. The food was a solid 5, everything was fresh and scrumptious. Overall I give Uni'ko 4 stars and I look forward to returning. I thought it was a good value given the extra razzle dazzle and food quality.

The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.
