Stopped in as part of the Yelp Elite event and the place was ok…read more I ordered the lemon cheesecake mochinut which was delicious! There were so many choices and all looked delicious. Also ordered the potato and cheese "corn dog" which was a fried block of cheese with frozen diced potatoes on the outside. It was hot and greasy but ok, but my stomach will not be happy later as it was H-E-A-V-Y..... And finally something called a Tiger Sugar Dirty Latte which was an iced coffee with a TON of brown sugar and boba in it....super sweet. I couldn't finish it. I can't imagine people going here in a regular basis, but as a treat to get the mochinut I couldn't finish see folks going every once in a while! Other things to note, the service was a slow, but the corn dogs are made to order and was fresh and there was 1 employee, so that's why. And the music was super loud and not "my speed" as I am a little older (in my 50's) and not really keen on rap music with questionable lyrics blaring in my ears! LOL.

It was my first time here, but I've heard a lot of hype about this place in the past. I came at…read moreabout 11:30am on a Monday morning. There were two other groups there as well. Only one staff member :( The woman working answered all our questions and gave recommendations when we asked. I got the cinnamon mochinut. It was SO good! I loved it. I got the cheese and potato "dog" which didn't have a hot dog in it at all, which I was grateful for a no hot dog option. What's better than fried cheese and potatoes ?! It was HUGE! And tasty. Not something I'd ever get again though (I'm a healthy eater and as you can imagine, this was very heavy!) But was a fun, carnival type experience. I got an iced boba coffee which was good but nothing to write home about. The service was really slow, but there was only one staff member doing everything by herself. I just felt bad for her. The rap music was blasting so loud, so it was a little odd for me haha. Overall, I wouldn't really ever comeback. But those mochinuts were pretty tasty and unique.

Yesterday I decided to try this place using a food delivery service. All was going well until I…read morenoticed it was now more than 30 mins since I'd placed my order and decided to call to confirm my order at that location (so if know if it was there if the other location) and see if the establishment was running behind. To my surprise, I was informed that there was no record of my order and to call the other location. I called the other location and was told the same thing, "we don't have your order." Now, I'm confused and decide as a food safety measure to cancel the order. I wake up to find out I've been charged for the order I cancelled because the restaurant itself confirmed they didn't have my order. So I am charged for food I confirmed was not placed at their restaurant. I cannot make things like this up. SMH Taking this as a sign to avoid going here. Duly noted.

Nice sit down Thai restaurant. Pretty large dining room but…read morethere were always some seats available, even though it was fairly busy on a Tuesday night. Two page menu gave plenty of options, but it wasn't overkill like many Chinese food menus. Red curry w/ jasmine rice I ordered the Pineapple fried rice, which was delicious, w/ chicken veggies & curry & a zero spice level. Others tried: Vegetable stir fry w/ white Jasmine rice on side (spice level 1) & Yellow curry veggie (delish) with rice on side (spice level 2), & Red Curry veggie w/ rice (level 3/5). It was nice you can pick level of spice on any dish. The level 2&3 was too much for me, 1 woulda been perfect. Servers were very polite & very much on it. We sat over 2 hrs & they refilled drinks the whole time. The prices were probably in range w/ other Thai places but a tad high ($16 for ours) if I compare to a fast casual Mexican or Chinese which give just as much portion.

I cannot say enough about this place. I've been driving by…read morethis location for years and telling myself that I would stop in today I finally did. I took the recommendation of our server on dish and chose a nice spicy curry and was not disappointed. While it was not as spicy as I would have hoped, he told me how to order it hotter the next time. The flavor combinations and the depth of flavor was so amazing. Are crab Rangoon has outdone every other crab Rangoon I've ever had. At this point, I could name other places where I thought their crab Rangoon was amazing... And at this point they no longer even hold a candle. A nice hearty crab chunks mixed in with the cream cheese sauce and filling, and it's just to die for. The dessert of the sticky rice with mango was sweet and thick and filling and just rich beyond description. The lighting is soft and easy in the eyes, the colors on the walls are pleasant and pink and oranges and brown purples, sounds a pleasant to listen to everybody cooking in the music, while faster and hip-hop was not distracting. I quite enjoyed listening to it, listening to Thailand versions of American hits. It was quite an enjoyable experience all around. We look forward to coming back.

I have to say I'm a little nervous to write this review as I have seen on Google that the owner…read moredoesn't take negative news very well. But here goes. My husband and I stopped in to get coffee and breakfast for his birthday - we have never been and like trying new to us places. I was quite frankly confused by the whole place Java is in its name, but it seemed like Java was one of the last things that was on the worker's (I think it may have been the owner) mind. As the Java was already premade and all she did was add pump syrup to it! But anyway, it was fine. We also ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches (to go) Our total bill for 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches was around $44 - I don't know exactly, as I didn't get a receipt. But I did question the prices as I thought it was a bit high. Our bacon egg and cheese sandwiches were $15 each, coffee was $5 each. I think there may have been an up charge on the GF bagel to make up the difference. Honestly, it was my husband's birthday so I didn't really pay attention to the pricing. So food/drinks were ok. The croissant itself, which was homemade, was delicious! The store itself was a little schizophrenic - a little bit of everything, handwritten signs, furniture having all different kinds of chairs and what not, backwards signs. And seems like they made a little bit of everything food wise too, I saw Indian, Lebanese, Vietnamese, and Italian foods there. But NO VANILLA LATTE - in a JAVA bistro ha ha ha. Here's where I think it fell off the rails for me: the owner was REALLY REALLY pushing her Pho and meatballs, AND........also unsolicited was giving me weight loss tips, She was telling me about intermittent fasting and healthy eating, etc. I felt very uncomfortable at this point and couldn't wait to get out of there.

Thai Thai is well known in the city for its Bangkok street food. They are also now known for…read morecarrying Labubu keychains ($10 each). What I most love about this restaurant is their collaborative Lakewood spirit. They are part of Bunts to Birdtown (IG buntstobirdtown) which is a local business collaborative of businesses on Madison Ave in Lakewood. The businesses frequently host fun events - shopping crawls and scavenger hunt (such as today). I love that Thai Thai is part of this little business community and stays involved in Lakewood's social scene. I dropped in at Thai Thai for Bunts to Birdtown scavenger hunt. It was my first and much anticipated visit. The restaurant is currently not fully open and has a limited menu. Limited menu includes baos and bubble teas. It opens for full service again on Friday, August 1, 2025 (full menu and table service). The restaurant is small, has few tasteful Thai details (such as Bangkok skyline art) and neon Thai Thai sign. It's on the trendier side. My order: - Baos with roasted pork. -$6 for 2 - Good value and size! Meat was tasty and well prepared, but Bao was light on the meat. Bao had soggy bottom. - Thai bubble tea - $6 - Traditionally with milk, but they were out of milk. It was totally fine with me. Bubble tea tasted like light peach iced tea to me. It was good, but bobas were soggy. - Taro bubble tea - $6 - Pretty Instagrammable lavender color. Subtly sweet. Soggy bobas. Service was really friendly and welcoming. The owner told me that they just returned from Thailand. So it's amazing to have an authentic spot in the city! I'll stop by when full service will open and try other options on the menu to get the full experience!

Recently ordered takeout from Thai Thai and was very disappointed. A lot of people have great…read morereviews, so not sure if it was an off night. We ordered the Tom Yum soup, Red Curry with chicken and Pad Kee Mao with tofu. The Tom Yum soup was great. Very flavorful and still hot after picking it up and taking it home. The red curry was super watery and flavorless. The chicken in it was very bland and the curry really had no flavor. The pad kee mao was a little better, but still not as flavorful as other Thai spots. There wasn't any spice to anything, but I wasn't asked about spice levels when ordering so that could also be on me for not saying I wanted it spicy. The veggies in both the curry and noodles were cooked really well though. There are definitely better and more consistent Thai spots in the area, so not sure that I will be back unfortunately.

Only issue is that they didn't let me choose half portions for hotpot and the amount of vegetable they gave me was way too much (and they charge for leftover). Thankfully they didn't this time but it also felt super wasteful. I hope they weren't hoping to give me a lot of vegetables so that I felt pressure to eat it without getting charged - Only to not order the more expensive items. They also told us they had Coke products when we first came in and then the waiter said they only had Pepsi products. Overall pleasant experience. The ambience is hole in the wall to standard. Not much to look at.

I visited Kintaro Sushi and Hibachi for the first time on Sunday, 18 August 2024 in the late afternoon with my friend and fellow Yelper, Dr. Antonio P. FOOD -- They specialize in AYCE (All You Can Eat) Sushi and Hotpot. When I entered the restaurant, I noticed some yummy fried rice with steak and shrimp so maybe I'll order that next time, if I visit Kintaro again. I came to try the 'All You Can Eat' hotpot (soup) lunch for $17.99. You can eat as much as you want for 2 hours. They can charge extra for food waste so don't order too much. For their hotpot all you can eat, you are given a menu to mark off what you want added to your soup. I can't remember if I chose a pork based broth or a chicken broth but I think it was pork-based. The hotpot came with some beef strips (rolled up), ramen noodles, and cilantro. The broth didn't look as fresh as I would have liked when my food was initially brought to me but after adding the ingredients to the soup, it tasted fine. My soup needed flavour as it was bland so I had to stand up and go to the back of the restaurant to get some chili oil and sauces so that I could add that to my soup. When my food was brought out, it was actually a lot for 1 person so I don't remember finishing my soup. I did add all the ingredients into the hotpot and ate enough of it that I wasn't charged extra for food waste. Overall, the hotpot is decent.
