We ended up getting Mango Grahams, Pancit, Siomai and Popcorn Chicken. Before we placed the order, it was communicated clearly from the staff that there would be a wait (there were 3 parties ahead of us, and one of them was huge, so we kinda expected a wait anyways.) We also weren't in a rush and were willing to wait regardless, so that didn't really bother us. The Mango Grahams were exactly and more than we expected; definitely satiated my cravings. The food was also good and arrived in a reasonable manner. Again, we only wanted to check this place out because of the Mango Grahams, but we were surprised at how many other options they had for desserts, appetizers, food, and drinks. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I wouldn't mind the distance knowing the quality and options they have. Also, I briefly looked into this place before driving here, and I was expecting like a quick "boba store" environment, but it also has a sit down ambiance. Great for quick hang outs with friends or sit down meals with your family. Also, I'm specifically writing this review because of the staff. Given how busy they were, I want to recognize how friendly and welcoming they were. There were lots of orders, but they came out in an understandable amount of time, and the person in the front always had a smile of her face. She always communicated clearly and warmly about the waits, and was very accommodating to the customers. I can't wait to go back for more Mango Grahams (and also check out their other menu items!)

They also closed early without notice which threw us off. We got bicol express, sweet and sour pork, pineapple fried rice, longanisa, and lumpia. Bicol Express- Meat was tender. Sauce had a good creaminess to it and just the right amount of heat. Sweet and Sour Pork- The breading on the pork stayed crisp which was lovely. The sauce had a good balance of sweat and tangy. Pineapple Fried Rice- Flavorful rice and the contrast of the pineapple pieces was bright and refreshing. They gave us a generous portion. Longanisa- This was served silog style with garlic rice and fried egg. Longanisa was sweet and meaty and paired well with rhe rice and egg. A breakfast classic you can eat any time of the day. Lumpia- This is always a favorite. Fried to perfection so you get a crisp exterior and a juicy interior. Paired well with sweet chili dipping sauce. Good experience but service could be improved.

I waited hours before being seated even after we requested to be seated after when people left. Then when we finally sat down and ordered it took very look time at this piont the crowd was gone and it was business as usual. I decided to give it another try with another friend of mine couple weeks later. IT was during the week and not busy still the same. Service is not great here. I heard this place was suppose to be great and saw good reviews. Maybe 3rd time the charm. I really love and want to support the locals but have to say a bit disappointment. Not sure If another visit is worth it. Best to have an honest reviews regardless of personal feelings. To give credit food is decent bar type food and drinks fair priced. It is like a k-bar type atmosphere. Maybe my timing was bad. The service is not great. I suppose the food is decent enough. Try it out for yourself if you still want.

Stumbled upon dPlace while looking for a local spot to meet my wife for dinner after work…read more We were both pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of this local joint. Unique fusion flavors and a good selection of dishes from steak to pasta. We shared the truffle potato jeon, and the "good bread, Good dips" - both were excellent appetizers. The truffle potato jeon is a definitely popular plate for a reason. Similar to a scallion pancake. My wife had the mala rose tteobokki with rigatoni. Great quality and taste and priced well. I had the Picanha steak which was not on the paper menu but was on the iPad menu. The chimichurri sauce was good but overpowered the taste of the meat a bit but overall, I enjoyed my meal. The potatoes were excellent. Our server, Kimberly was attentive and did a great job going over the menu considering it was our first time. Ambience is super chill. Loved the music. We will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu!

TO DIE FOR. Just kidding. I'm still alive and already thinking about going back. I ordered the crispy pork belly with cilantro rice, and WOW. Such a unique dish and incredibly rich in flavor. The pork belly was crispy, savory, and so satisfying, and the cilantro rice was delish! They take an already flavorful dish and elevate it to another level. That combination of Sambal Olek, richness, and their special sauce just brings everything together. This is exactly my kind of hidden gem...nothing fancy, no trendy décor needed, just seriously good food that speaks for itself. Five stars for the food alone. My stomach left very happy

The pad see ew was one of the better ones I've had. Perfect sweet/salty balance and not overly sauced. The bok choy was soft yet still crunchy.

Would def come back to try other items on their menu!

I ordered takeout- spicy basil chicken and the papaya salad…read more The basil chicken was very dry and bland and had hardly any basil. I also asked for the rice on the side since it looked a little dry in the pictures. They did not put the rice on the side. Papaya Salad was fresh but very bland. It lacked flavor. I had to add a bunch of lime at home to make it taste even remotely like it's supposed to. I asked for no shrimp on it and they were able to meet that request.... But not put rice on the side. Disappointing.

We liked everything! - garlic chicken wings: 8/10- paired well with the sauce, though I think it would also taste really good with a side of white rice. Very garlicky and tasty! - crab congee: 9/10- tasted very buttery once mixed, very Vietnamese fusion but I really enjoyed it and my boyfriend (who grew up eating congee) said this might be the best congee he's ever had! It is very unique in terms of flavor in my opinion - ribeye garlic noodles: 8/10 meat was cooked well and it was a solid dish! - lychee lemonade: 10/10 so worth it!! It is free refills and super refreshing. If you like lychee you'll like this drink! Would recommend. Overall we had such a great experience and can't wait to come back!

It's arugula with candied walnuts, and under is burrata with Asian pear. The carne asada tostada is a very small plate, but seems more of an appetizer. Great flavor for a small dish. Saltado with Filet Mignon and Garlic Noodles were very delicious, especially the chewy and soft noodles. The meat is very tender, the fries ok, a bit overcooked. Great place for family sharing. The Saltado is $25 and a big portion.
