The wonton soup had a lot of wonton that were filled with meat and were yummy. There was also an adequate amount of vegetables in the soup. The broth was clear and flavorful. The honey garlic spareribs were sweet and scrumptious. There were even fried whole cloves of garlic which complimented the spareribs well. The batter on the spareribs was not too thick and was crispy even though it was coated with sauce. Service was adequate as the workers refilled water and offered a plastic cup for my child. I noticed there was an emergency exit, however there were chairs blocking the door and the door was locked shut with a metal bar going across. The illuminated exit sign above the door was misleading as this door would not be suitable as an emergency exit. If there were an emergency it would be hazardous for everyone in the restaurant to leave through the front door in a chaotic scramble that would result in additional injuries/death.

Stopped by Flame Cafe and had a great experience. The cafe wasn't busy when I visited, which made…read morefor a relaxing meal. I ordered the hot Hong Kong milk tea and the beef teppanyaki rice, and both were delicious. The milk tea was rich, smooth, and perfectly comforting, while the beef teppanyaki was served sizzling hot with tender beef, flavorful rice, and just the right amount of seasoning. The customer service was excellent as well. If you're looking for a casual spot with tasty food, great drinks, and good service, Flame Cafe is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to try more items from the menu!

Soy good!! Hǎo chī! Tucked away like a cherished family…read morekitchen, this dumpling eatery feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into someone's home in modern Taiwan. The aroma alone--warm five-spice, toasted sesame, and slow-simmered broths are comforting. Every bite carries that unmistakable 家常味 (jiā cháng wèi), the soulful "home-style flavor" that can't be rushed or replicated. Taking one bite of the Taiwanese braised pork rice instantly made me think of my nànà's cooking, the similar flavors jolted me back to her kitchen as a kid. Wow, that alone blew my mind. I haven't tasted anything remotely close to her cooking since she passed away. Thank you . Everything I tried was delicious and I can't wait to come back and order everything else!!!

It's actually enough for two meals. Oh and don't skip the drinks! We've had the teas and the mango drinks and it's all yummy in my tummy! The decor is pretty IG worthy as well. There's cool neon signs and interesting writings on the ceiling.

This is an updated review to my older one posted pretty much when Boiling Avenue opened oh so many…read moreyears ago. I've spent many dinners here since then and I have to say BA has been one of my go to spots ever since the doors opened. They began with a focus on their awesome hot pots and some appetizers and have expanded to have a wide array of food options. I love a good soup, but I have to admit their rice bowls have become my new fave. The pork belly with quail eggs and the popcorn chicken bowls are our go to entrees now. We stop by after every pickleball game we have and our group can't help but order what we consider the "necessary" BA bites. AKA most of the menu. Salt and pepper tofu (my fave), grilled mackerel (yum), shrimp skewers (a classic), cucumber salad, garlic mushrooms and more. Never went wrong with trying something new from the menu. This place has always been a vibe and I've celebrated many an occasion here. But it's also one of our fave can't decide on anything dinner spots. Boiling Avenue will always hold a special place in my heart. Cheers!

The service was quick - we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. There are self-served condiments table on the right side of the pick up window. You can load as much condiments as you like. They have pickled mustard greens, pickled long beans, bamboo shoots, roasted soy bean, roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauces. - A1 Guilin Rice Noodle: the noodle was very soft (but a bit too soft for me). The meat pieces were tender and good. The crackling pork pieces were super crispy and gave a nice texture to the dish. - A10 Braised Pork Dry Tossed Noodle: the curly noodle was firmer type than A1 and had a bit of chew (which was similar to instant noodle) and I prefer this. The braised pork was flavorful and delicious! - B11 Preserved Duck Egg with Tofu: the tofu was soft and was a good combo with the preserved duck egg. The egg itself didn't have very strong taste so it was very pleasant. The spicy sauce was mild for me but the overall dish was good. - C1 Old Gui Lin Boba Milk Tea (less sugar): good and milky. The less sugar version was the perfect sweetness for us. The boba pieces were chewy and good.

Interior is somewhat dimly lit. They have tables off to one side of the restaurant, with a lot of space being taken up by the worker / behind the counter area. I had the Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Soup. The meat isn't the type of meat I like (lots of tendon/cartilage), but it has good flavor. I really did not like the pork in the Pork Rib Rice Noodle Soup. It was super tough! I did enjoy the flavor of the soups though. It seemed like the broth was high fat content. I really liked the self-serve condiment bar. This was one of the highlights for me. I'll be a returning customer.

Toddler liked this one. Dan dan noodles $13.95. Mild flavor. Lots of ground pork, 2 pieces of bok choy. Not spicy at all. Probably wouldn't get it again... we just prefer the more sichuan spicy style Honey lemon tea $3. A bit sweet for me but hubby liked it. Love that hubby w his allium onion allergies was able to eat the dumplings :) We also ordered veggie dumplings but due to miscommunication we never got it. Next time. Cashier was nice and answered our questions patiently. The incoming cashier was really sweet and when my toddler started crying / throwing a tantrum, she asked what's wrong and gave her a dumpling keychain. Food- 4 stars Customer service- 5 stars Bathroom was spacious and clean. No paper towels just air dry. We go to the zoo a lot so will probably pop by next time and order the pan fried dumplings, veg dumplings and maybe take home some frozen dumplings :) The chicken and corn one was about $38 for 40 pieces or something. The shrimp one was $43 for 40pc.

It's a small shop, but has enough seating if you wanted to come with a group. The parking lot is a little small, but there is a neighborhood around the corner with one hour limit on parking. The staff were super friendly, eager to make recommendations and checked in on our service. We got the pan seared pork & vegetable dumplings, wonton soup in broth, BBQ buns, and Fried Rice with Sausage. To drink we had a Jasmine Green Iced Tea; which was very floral, and Taro Milk Tea. The food was hot, fresh and very flavorful. My favorite was the wonton soup. The broth was light, not too salty but tasty and they gave plenty of wontons & broccoli. The pan seared dumplings were phenomenal and the dipping sauce brings the flavors together. I will like to try the fried ones next time. We enjoyed our meal and will recommend to our family and friends when looking for good dumplings and great customer service in the Sacramento area.
