To start off by saying that this is literally some of the best Thai food I've had here in…read moreSpringfield MO is an understatement to be quite honest. Their food is about as authentic as you can get and this is coming from someone who had lived in Vegas for 2 years and experienced authentic real deal quality food. This is like being in Vegas. The restaurants self it's pretty nice as far as it's not quite at fine dining but you can definitely make it into a beautiful dressy date night. here's the biggest star in my opinion is the coconut soup, the flavors are so delicious and it has so much depth. It's very authentic and traditional how they make it and I love whatever mushrooms they put in it I need it every time I go! I crave it all the time! The other plates we got were delicious and really you just have to try! Go asap. It's definitely worth the trip!

My second trip to Springfield, Mo for work. This little area (literally this 1/4 mile of street)…read morehas some amazing restaurants! Unknowingly, I started "scrolling" to find a place to eat and was sucked in by pics of the food and ambiance! So I mapped directions to Cafe Cusco only to find it was next to another great restaurant I had been to during my last trip. Walked in and the hostess, with a welcoming greeting and smile directed my single person party to a four top. Turns out she ended up also being my server and bartender!!! Lilly was her name and she was on top of it all. I believe there was at least one other server. I shied away from apps as I was not sure about the serving sizes as I was not famished... I started with a Pisco Sour that Lilly recommended and she also recommended the Lomo Saltado for an entree. I chose to also have the Ginger Caipirinha. For dessert I had the Quinoa Pudding and a cup of coffee. Beverages were well balanced with lime tartness, great cinnamon presence and over all flavor was refreshing! The Lomo Saltado was very flavorful- def get your salt intake for the day, but it works so well! There was a house hot sauce at each table. I taste tested the hot sauce and decided to liberally add to the dish! A symphony of flavors! The slices of tomato in that Saltado sauce was ... mmmmmmmmm GOOD!! Naturally the tenderloin was packed with Saltado flavor too! I ordered up the Ginger Caipirinha (which did not disappoint either!). Both beverages stand on their own merits and I cannot choose which was better... maybe the sour?? So... then there was dessert... I cannot recall the last time I ordered dessert... quinoa pudding???? I mean... I like quinoa... but do I ever go out of my way to eat it?? No... but add some sweet coconut cream, cinnamon and... wait for it... Black cherry COMPOTE?!?????!!!! Damn! Am I glad I got that dessert! You MUST save room for this! Such a great amalgamation of flavor and textures! Cheers Cafe Cusco!! You've got a great gem here for great prices to boot! Lilly was very busy, what may have lacked in some attentiveness (due to how busy it was) she made up for in her awesome personality, pleasant disposition and great suggestions! Chillin' in haute Springfield?? Check this place out! Cheers!

Crispy egg rolls, saucy lo mein, and General Tso's chicken that somehow stays crunchy even after the drive home. Friendly faces behind the counter, portions big enough to share (but why would you?), and prices that remind you good food doesn't have to be expensive. It's the kind of spot that feels like home -- quick service, hot food, and flavor that never misses. Comfort food. Great value. Every time.

Triple Eight is one of the two Chinese buffets in Republic but the highest rated (not by much(0.6…read morestar difference)). It also serves as a dine-in in the first 3/4 of the restaurant. The buffet, small as it is, takes up the remaining 1/4. When I say small, the dining area is pretty cramped requiring some back rubbing with the other patrons in order to get in and out of your seating. The buffet is a double-sided buffet line with the usual rice, lo mein, General Tsao chicken, crab ragoons, egg rolls, etc. the honey chicken was notably good as was the buttered potatoes. The highlight is the steamed crab legs but be prepared to negotiate with the other patrons you've been rubbing backs with because they disappear fast. The service is nice and attentive to clearing plates and refilling drinks. The staff is very pleasant. Overall, it's a nice place worth a visit.
