    I thought this was great fast casual chicken. The tenders were very large, the fries had a a nice crunch and they were generous with the pickles. I would definitely come back!

    It's some sort of a fast food restaurant with no drive thru. You can customized your chicken for the spice level . The cost is a little bit more compared to other chicken place and the combo does not come with a drink, however, the portioning are very big! One order would have been enough for me and my son. Service seemed fast, they also serve some beer . The food can be very spicy depending on what seasoning you prefer. The taste is fine, but I think I prefer other place . I would still eat it though , just not going out of my way to go get it .

    Chicken was actually really tasty! I got MILD to try and have to say - it wasn't even the slightest spicy for me. The chicken was moist and crunchy on the outside and the seasoning was quite well dusted on top. I really enjoyed that the chicken wasn't overly greasy too! By far the best part of the slider was the slaw! We went during a busy time so the space wasn't too tidy but Ellis was a lovely host/greeter!

    I only tried the cauliflower sliders. They were so good. You do have to eat it while it's hot . The service was very good , the server was very patient and informative. The restaurant was very decorated with local school art.

    Still sniffling, it was perfect! I was so excited to see a DHC opening right here in our backyard. And this location is perfect! Justin and his crew are doing a fantastic job! Food, service, spice; all off the chart! I like the simple flexibility of Dave's menu. I couldn't decide, so a slider and a strip for the win! And ample spice levels to make everyone happy. I like the hot or extra hot depending on the day. It's legit heat. Fun atmosphere inside. But the patio was perfect today. Thanks, Justin! I'll be back!

    Has ZERO flavor on the chicken even with the sauce. Spent $50 dollars on three meals that taste like nothing. Don't waste your money!!!

    This place has great food. The first time I tried it I wasn't impressed with the spice level but the Hot is definitely hot!

Since it was our first time, he took the time to walk us through the options, really listened to what we were in the mood for, and made great suggestions. We had the Hungry Bowl with chicken and gyro, and it was excellent. The fries were crispy, thick-cut, and so good. The dolma was flavorful, and the walnut and almond baklava was a perfect dessert. My favorite was the rose water drink. It had such a nice subtle flavor and was not too sweet. Between the delicious food and Zee's friendly, attentive service, this was a fantastic first visit. Looking forward to coming back.

    3 stars. The prices were honestly really fair, especially compared to Austin where these same…read moredishes would probably be another $5-7 more each. I tried both the wrap and the salad bowl, and while the portions were solid, the flavor of the meat was pretty middle of the road at best. The spices and seasoning just felt bland overall and neither dish really stood out. The sauces were definitely the highlight and added a lot more flavor than the meat itself. One small thing that also felt odd was getting water in a tiny plastic Dixie cup. Not a deal breaker, but it added to the overall average experience. Decent value for the money, just wish the food had more seasoning and flavor depth. Clean inside....

    First of all, I want to give a glowing review of the impeccable service that was provided to us by…read moreSonny. He checked on us often to make sure we had enough of the unlimited veggies and sauces. He chatted with us and constantly cleared our empty plates. He was the only server, but he was able to take amazing care of every table. He gladly changed the channel so we could watch the hockey playoffs and had us stand in front of the Japanese cherry blossom wall so he could take pictures of us on my phone. 5 out of 5 service It is a beautiful spacious restaurant with booth seating and counter seating (there is also a private room with a tv and a Shabu table set for 20). The tables are already set with plates, utensils, and pots with water and seaweed (kombu) 4 out of 5 for decor and ambiance I wish I could have liked the food more, but here's my honest opinion. I paid extra for spicy miso broth (I think an extra $2.50). They mix spicy miso paste into the water that is already boiling at your table. Even with hot drops, it was disappointingly bland. There are 3 dipping sauces: garlic teriyaki, ponzu (surprisingly sweet which I didn't enjoy), and peanut sauce (again bland). Nice that the sauces are unlimited, too bad they're not delicious tho. There were many choices of meat. I chose choice ribeye. You order by the ounce here so I ordered 8oz. High quality meat for the price. They give you a really small plate of veggies to start, but then if you ask for more (it's unlimited) they give you a giant bowl of spinach, tofu, carrots, mushroom, cabbage, and broccoli. You're also given white rice and your choice of noodle. I chose ramen, but it wasn't your usual ramen noodle. It was a tiny bowl with a handful of super thin noodles that took a long time to cook. 3 out of 5 for food Would I come back here? Yes! There aren't any other Japanese shabu restaurants around AND Sonny was awesome!

The service is top notch. They just want to serve you as best as possible! If you want a COLD place to eat, this is that place on a HOT Texas afternoon. It's always freezing cold in there and we love that because your meal stays boiling hot the entire time. We love it here and will continue to make the drive from McKinney. Very clean restaurant as well!
