    Chicken Salad Pita all the way
    Jessica V.

    Surprisingly this was my first Tidbits experience. Id heard mixed things but then after hearing rave reviews about the famous potato salad, I had to try it for myself. Let me tell you that potato salad is famous for a reason. It's so creamy with a hint of mustard and will leave you craving more! The new location is right near the original and it's huge inside. Plenty of seating even during the busy lunch time.

    Admittedly we hadn't been to this location in a while. We were close enough I suggested here bec they use to have a salad bar which the cashier said they closed during Covid (I said it had been a while...lol)! She then said I could build my own salad bar, turned the iPad around and instructed me to pick what I want... which I did! It was great and huge; I added chicken salad, potato salad feta, tons of veggies and I ate and ate but needed a "to-go box" still! I'll have to see if the Mandarin Tidbits has this option too...

    There was a bit of line once entering but it was lunch time so to be expected. Glad they had a set help kiosk available to order for quicker service. Not much of a wait either with how busy it was, maybe 5-10 after ordering. Clara's gives me old school diner vibes lol not bad, I like it. I had the chicken avocado pita and it was so delicious. I wish I had ordered 2! Definitely will be back to try others items.

    I started coming to this location in the mid eighty's. I ate lunch there a lot when I worked downtown, despite having to cross the bridge to get there. I also used this location for many years to cater for my workplace and for a non profit when I was on the board of directors. I have lived in 5 different states. So when I say Tidbits is the BEST chicken salad ever, it comes from someone who has searched far and wide to find something as good..... and failed. Whenever I come back to the Jax area to visit, this is the only place I want to go eat. When my daughter visits without me, I always ask her to bring back some chicken salad.....it travels from Florida to North Carolina! The chicken salad pita and the chicken salad scoop on a salad is my go to. It's different than any other chicken salad....in a good way! It comes with your choice of side and I always get the potato salad . I could eat a bowl full. It's awesome. The place is always clean and you are guaranteed smiles along with fast service. I always have a bottle of Clara's seasoning in my spice rack and use it to make my own chicken salad....but it never comes close to Tidbits. I'm your biggest fan Tidbits!

So we headed to Zen Dumplings on Baymeadows Road, where soup dumplings are very much the point. We started with a scallion pancake, wafer-thin and crisp, with enough scallion flavor to make its presence known. A little table-side chili crunch turned it into an excellent opening act. Then came the main event, soup dumplings. We ordered a basket of chicken, plus the sampler, which includes one each of chicken, beef, shrimp, crab, pork, and truffle. All of them were good, but the pork was the one I kept thinking about. The broth was deeply savory, and the pork filling had the texture and flavor of a very good meatball hiding inside a dumpling. The crab and shrimp were close behind. The beef and chicken were solid. The truffle dumpling was a different animal altogether. It tasted like someone had taken a whole truffle and put it inside a dumpling. Truffle isn't usually my favorite flavor, but even I had to admit this one worked. We also ordered shrimp stir-fried noodles. The shrimp were cooked nicely and the noodles were perfectly respectable. Unfortunately, I am still haunted by the spectacular stir-fried noodles I had at Izakaya Ko a couple of weeks ago, and Zen's version had the misfortune of being compared to them. But I didn't come here for the noodles. I came for soup dumplings, and Zen Dumplings delivered. Sometimes that's all you need from lunch. The craving was specific, the solution was obvious, and Zen Dumplings scratched that itch.

Service was meh at best: the young ladies were more interested in their phones and there were two of them to one of me. I initially wanted to try the soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), but the waitress convinced me not to as "they take too long" to prepare. Instead I went with the pork fried dumplings and the Taiwanrse sausage. The dumplings were very average: not bad flavor but they had a flavor and were uniform in a way that suggested they came right out of a bag from the freezer. There are much better and fresher dumplings to be had in Jacksonville. The sausage, however, was quite good. It was taught, porky, and had notes of five spice & maybe cinnamon. It further reinforced my view that meat always tastes best when served on a stick! It helped bring in the final score two three stars, making up for poor service and mediocre dumplings.

He mentioned wait times for tables, so I chose a Tuesday evening to try to avoid the crowds and it worked as I was immediately sat upon arriving. There are QR Menus on the table and my server directed me to view there. I spotted the Tokyo and was intrigued by the Ajitama Brûlée (signature torched seasoned soft boiled egg). What I Ordered: - Tokyo: For $16.95, I thought this was reasonably priced and excited to try as reading reviews raved about the umami flavor of their ramen. Without exaggeration, this was a life-changing ramen. The best ramen that I've had in my life!! The torched egg was genius and added a beautiful texture to the rich, and flavorful broth. The fried chicken thigh was a delicious protein and cooked so well. Honestly, every ingredient was crafted well and combined to make such a beautiful bowl. - Lychee Martini: What better way to toast to life, then with a martini! The popping bubbles were not my thing, but the flavor of the martini was delicious. I can see why many suggest trying it.

If you are in Jacksonville, RUN don't walk to this location for a stunning experience as it's a gorgeous location that is very cozy.

The side dishes were very flavorful, and I also purchased two drinks that were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided good customer service throughout my visit. The only thing is that they told me that they do not clean tripe in Korea which was hard to believe. I do want to share a concern regarding the preparation of the tripe soup. After beginning the meal, I noticed that the tripe did not appear to have been cleaned. At first, I wondered if this was simply the restaurant's style of preparation, but after researching further, I learned that improperly cleaned tripe can be both unpleasant and potentially unsafe to consume because tripe comes from the stomach lining of the animal. Uncleaned tripe may still contain food residue, digestive material, parasites, worms, bacteria, and strong bile or waste odors. This can potentially lead to issues such as foul smell, unpleasant taste, food poisoning, bacterial contamination including E. coli or Salmonella, and symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting, or diarrhea. Proper cleaning is generally considered an essential part of preparing tripe, especially in professional restaurants where customers would quickly notice if the cleaning process was incomplete. Overall, I appreciated the kindness of the staff, the quality of the drinks, and the excellent side dishes. I am only sharing my personal experience and concern specifically regarding the preparation of the tripe soup.

We ordered the Twice Fried Korean Wings, Bonchon, and Chili Crisp Cucumbers to share. The wings were delicious with the best crunch, almost like candied chicken wings. My only complaint is I expected more heat from the gochujang. The Bonchon is essentially a flight of pickled sides: sweet pickled cucumbers, sweet pickled carrots and daikon (similar to what you'd find on a Vietnamese banh mi), and a well-fermented kimchi with mild heat and great flavor. We also ordered the Hong Kong Wonton Soup, and thought we ordered "Chow Fun" noodles -- but "Chow Faan" is actually their fried rice dish. Word of caution: if you want their take on Chow Fun noodles, order the "Beef Haw Fun" instead. The star of the show was the Hong Kong Wonton Soup -- the broth was authentically Asian, distinctly different from a classic French-style broth built on onion, celery, and carrot mirepoix. It was so good we ordered another one to go and took it to our mom to enjoy. We will definitely be going back to try some of their other dishes.

For dinner we all ordered the strip with the truffle fries and the peppercorn sauce. We really enjoyed the steak, but I liked the one with bernaise better. The steaks were all cooked to our liking.
