They offered a robust discount for first-time orders and I had use for leftovers, so I got a bunch of stuff, and it was all good. They offered an appetizer combo of tofu and spring rolls, which was worthwhile. They have ample labeling for vegetarian/vegan concerns, and I got a drunken noodle and a cashew stir fry, both with extra tofu that I paid for. The noodles were on the spicy side. Not the fanciest that I've ever had, but the vegetarian fish sauce substitute they use adds a depth of flavor that I occasionally find lacking in such dishes. They offer several different Thai tea variants, and the green tea was satisfying. A mango sticky rice delivered plenty of mango. I'll get a solid three meals out of it. Even at full price, in this economy, that's some good food for the money.

This is by far the best Lanzhou noodles in MoCo…read more We've been eating the owners noodles for 5 years since before the first location when he was selling it inside another restaurant. Happy to see his nood soup still killing it and winning awards. Order the #1. Add some chili oil. Try a side or two. That's all you need. I personally like noodles, my kid loves belt style, my wide loves knife cut. They do it all and don't miss on flavor.

We went for dinner on a Saturday night. We were looking for some comforting soup and had heard good…read morethings about Chopin. We were also interested in seeing a live piano performance. Unfortunately there was no live piano but the music they played over the speaker was relaxing piano covers of popular music like SZA, Kendrick Lamar, Drake. We did find some comfort in soup and their gorgeous special floral/herbal tea. There was an instructional video on the tv showing how to drink out of the specific tea cup they served out of. We started with the refreshing cucumber salad and light, crispy popcorn chicken. Then came my tomato beef soup with regular noodles (recommended by the server) which also came with carrots. The broth was mild but once I added a bit of the black vinegar and chili oil provided in the caddy at the table, the flavor started to come alive. I did not finish my bowl as it was a large portion of noodles. I liked the noodles but feel like the extra thin noodles may have fit my preference better for this soup. I saved about half to take home because I wanted to save what little room I had left to take a few bites of the cumin lamb burger that had come shortly after I had started my soup. The cumin lamb burger was packed with tender, shredded lamb that was cumin-y enough to negate any potential gaminess from the lamb. The bread was crisp on the outside and reminded me of a flattened english muffin kind of. I do wish that the burger came with cilantro. It needed a fresh component to round out the burger. We pretty much packed everything to go. We had ordered too much food not realizing how big and filling each dish would be. Our server filled our tea cups with hot water one last time so we could enjoy another cup before we left. The verdict: great quality, comfort food at reasonable prices especially for the area it's located in. Great to know it's here as it will hopefully start cooling down outside soon.

Today I got the beef combo soup and you know it was really good but I dont think the noodles really came through enough for me. Oh and it was really hot too so doubly for the future the hot soup and hot day does not mix. Looking forward to getting either the beef (not brisket) or pork stir fried with hand noodles next time. The stir fried looked really good across the table.

But I gotta say, my all time favorite dish is the cucumber salad. OMG I could eat it all day everyday. It is just so perfectly seasoned, spicy, refreshing, ugh I loveeee it. The hand pulled noodles are always so good. We've had the noodle soup which is also so good. Literally everything they make is good And besides Bobs Shanghai, I am certain these are the best xiaolongbao I've had in MOCO! They are BIG, juicy, soupy, meaty and so yummy. I don't like that they always forget to give us the vinegar sauce but we ask for it anyways. Highly recommend!!

I was meeting some Deadheads at BT's for music on Wednesday next door…read more A fabulous perk to going to BT's is-- The Very nice Ukrainian restaurant next door. They close about 8:00pm. A bit pricy on the entrees, but it cost about the same as any food at BT's would have cost me. I had a 'cup' of Beef broth Borscht [heated temperature was hot]. Even though I am Jewish & 63 I had never had borscht before It was truly amazing tasting! The cost was $9 [$11 tip included] for my dinner instead of the easily spent $25 nowadays. Granted, for dessert I did want to order the the good looking well reviewed dessert of cherry pocket dumplings called 'Cherry Varenyky' [$17.50 with SIX 100% reviews] which would have cost me about another $22.00] but because of my own $$ woes I ruefully resisted spending more $$, so that I did not end up spending about $34.65 instead of $11. FOMO!! (Not to be weird or gross) I was experiencing some of my own seasonal allergic chest congestion & that Borscht was the most wonderful thing I could have ate & it instantly made me feel better. I would definitely get that delivered through Uber Eats, & I dislike using Uber Eats. That cup serving size was the size of 4 cups of any other restaurant in a nice pottery big bowl. HUGE! I wonder how large a bowl size is as the Waitress said it can serve 1.5 to 2 people.?‍ It was a Wonderful time spent by myself in a clean, Quaint & lovely ambiance eating a YUMMY bowl of Borscht from the homeland. I will return!

My parents and I wanted to venture out and away from our usuals, so we decided to try out Ruta, and…read morespoiler alert, the food is delicious and reminiscent of home (for us)! We had an early dinner reservation at 5:30pm, though as it turned out, user error meant I actually made the reso at the wrong location (oops). That said, it was early and they were kind of enough to transfer us and seat us. My dad and I each tried a nalivka. My black currant one was absolutely delicious. And then we moved on to food: *Forshmak - this was delicious, and if you like herring, this is a must! I would come back here just for this! *Vareniki with short rib - delicious. My only slight qualm was the amount of caramelized onions, which was the same qualm I had with my cossack bowl. But that's a personal preference and easily picked off. *Chicken kiev - my dad got this and both my mom and he agreed this wasn't the normal chicken Kiev, but rather more of a ground chicken cutlet situation with filling, and not what they grew up eating. *Holubtsi with meat - my mom got this and she loved it! *Cossack bowl - I loved this (minus the aforementioned onions), and the potato vareniki and sausage were a highlight! We finished the meal with dessert, and since we couldn't figure out what to order, we got three desserts: *Medovik - always a great go to *Kyiv cake - this was a nicely sized (i.e. small and not overwhelming portion) and tasted great *Sour cherry vareniki - this was delicious and I could have eaten several bowls of this! So, the food was an easy 5 stars, and I loved it! Where they lose a star is service... when we came in, and until we were close to done, the place was pretty empty, but the service was inattentive. I constantly ran out of water and would sit trying to make eye contact with someone to refill it. We also sat for a while after we finished our mains with no one checking on us or asking if we wanted dessert. I'd understand some part of this if they were slammed, but they weren't, and the waiters were largely standing around. All that said, and I would absolutely come back for the food!
