Texas doesn't really have good hibachi places even the Benihana's here is not great. I got the chicken dinner, which was really good. The only issue that I had was that it was a little bit cold. It should've been fresh and hot. So that really irked me. Pieces of my chicken were not warm. The vegetables were good and the rice itself is also really good The Yum Yum sauce I enjoyed I got the garlic noodle noodles and they were definitely a 10 out of 10. The four stars is specifically because like I said, I did enjoy the food. The price is great for the portions that you get. However, I'm gonna give three stars for the customer service. One star for the cleanliness of the place. Smelled like an old mop, especially in the bathroom smelled really bad. I ended up just sitting outside. There's no waitress so everything is about to go and you just eat at the tables. The wait time is pretty long However, I would definitely come back here. I think they just need to update their customer service.. air freshener or maybe a cleaner because the smell was horrible. But as far as the food, I definitely get a four out of five once I warmed it up it was really good.

It comes with, yam mac & cheese and greens I swapped my yams out for another vegetable. I also had a baked chicken with stuffing underneath. Cheesy broccoli, rice, and cabbage. Everything was really good the grape kool aid was solid. They also had cakes and cookies. I didn't get any but they look good. Really big portions and reasonably priced as well. I like this place. This is some of the best soul food I've had since I've been Houston

They were pretty nonchalant at this truck. They answered questions when asked but for the most part were on their phones and not very engaged. I really wanted the seafood lady but she was out of catfish. So I ended up going back to Mikki's since there wasn't a line. When I ordered, it was a quick exchange. My token was taken and I was immediately handed a beef soul food bowl without either of them getting up. Womp... The food itself was okay but it wasn't hot, which definitely affected the experience. Came with beef tips, greens, mac and yams in a little bowl. Again not bad tasting and only slightly warm. I'll remember that next time I see the truck. I'll probably want to try something different anyway but just saying....go early or get cold.

This spot is an absolute must visit for food lovers, especially if you're craving bold flavor, southern charm, and that irresistible Louisiana flair. I ordered the surf and turf tacos with queso and the shrimp fries, and let me just say WOW. The tacos were stuffed to perfection with juicy meat (pause) and tender shrimp, all smothered in a rich, creamy queso that tied everything together like a flavor symphony. And the shrimp fries? Crispy, seasoned just right, and loaded with generous, perfectly cooked shrimp an indulgent, satisfying bite in every handful. The ambience at the Almeda location adds to the whole experience. Welcoming vibes, and that laid-back Houston food truck energy that just makes you want to stay awhile. It's casual, fun, and filled with happy people clearly loving what they're eating. The food came out hot and fresh, and the service was just as impressive. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about their food. They made sure everything was just right and even offered suggestions for my next visit (which I'm already planning). There's so much more I want to try on the menu, and I'm 100% coming back. If you're anywhere near the Almeda area, do yourself a favor skip the chains and treat yourself to It's Nola Baby. Your taste buds will thank you. Thank Me Later

It still was borderline of being too much salt in the oxtail dish but it was tolerable. I ordered the chicken and waffles dish. It came with eggs (I added cheese) and grits. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well. I liked the flavor of the wings but was unhappy about having hairs to still pluck out of the wings. The waffle was an average waffle. The heat being trapped inside the to-go container made the powdered sugar turn into hard crystals. I wish they would have put the sugar in the side. Not too bad for a late night food craving.
