The surroundings are plush with trees and additional foliage. There is tons of seating and covered areas to relax during your visit.

Just be sure to follow the rules and don't feed the birds! If you do you'll be surrounded by then and possibly have one or two shit on you, which would be a good lesson to abide by the rules lol.

I really like this place. The food is seriously so good. The corn dogs are always hot and…read moredelicious, and the quality is great every time. That said, I work in the mall and timing is a big factor. When you order, it takes at least about 10 minutes for the food to be ready, which is why my coworkers and I relied on DoorDash pickup. It made it possible for us to order ahead during short breaks, pick it up, and still be able to enjoy it while supporting the business. We recently noticed the topping options were removed from DoorDash, which is a big downside. The toppings are kind of the whole point, like the sugar coating and sauces. Without that, there is no way to customize in the app. When we pick up, we have to ask in person, and even then they usually just give the toppings on the side instead of putting them on the corn dogs, which is not the same experience. We really do love this place and hope the topping options get added back soon, because otherwise it is hard for us to keep ordering

The batter was light and crispy and the bbq sauce and ranch were perfect condiments. Chicken Salad: Southwestern style with pico, black beans, and roasted corn. Came topped with perfectly crisp fried onions and a broken up chicken tender. I think the dressing was a chipotle mayo. Bacon Cheeseburger: Perfectly cooked but the beef patties they used are thin, tiny, and not great. If they could just upgrade it to a higher quality quarter lb patty, I think everyone would benefit. The Fries: What the heck! Why would a safari park have some of the best fries anywhere?! Crispy, thick, hot and soft in the center, and so well seasoned. They came with the burger and the tenders in a large mound so our meals were super filling. Staff-wise, Brant was amazingly friendly. He turned us onto the tiger tail fudge (peanut butter and white chocolate) and we ended up buying some of that and the rocky road fudge to take home and enjoy.

Slurp embraces everything awesome about Thai food with none of the extraneous western influences that simply detract from the food. They serve the tastiest food Thailand has to offer, street food, and they do it fast with a smile as if you were on a street corner in Bangkok. From pad kra pow to crab omelette, pretty much everything on the menu is some sort of fusion / street food goodie that is as close to real Thai food as it gets (stateside at least). Nevermind it's in the food court of a mall. Ignore the broccoli haired Gen Alpha's wandering aimlessly around. This place will transport you to the heart of the Thai street food scene by the first bite. And in true street food fashion, if you want something custom, just ask. The cooks are Thai and after a little translation (from the person at the register) they deliver made-to-order perfection. And if you want a real taste of Thailand make sure you order spicy level 10 ("fire-in-the-bunghole") but if you want the real Thai spice level ask for 20. Slurp redefines "mall food" to the extent that "I going to the mall" means I'm coming home with authentic Thai food rather than Hello Kitty artifacts from Miniso.
