Sesame Chicken Bento Box Lunch and General Tao's Chicken Bento Box Lunch

$15 lunch bento box: so much food I couldn't even finish it. Food was really, really good too. Super flavorful, came out hot and quick. We actually went in and sat down and our server was really nice! Plenty of space to sit and eat. We had a great lunch and will be back

Brown rice sesame seed chicken combo

Totally shocked! Was our go to take out for Chinese & after tonight will need to look for a new go - to. Ordered the sesame chicken combo platter and asked for brown rice , instead looked like rice pudding , couldn't even eat this. I felt as if the sesame chicken I was eating salty coated sauce with pea size chicken inside. We've been ordering here over two years and very surprised by this downhill experience.

My girlfriend and I love this place. It's our two year anniversary today and we are piggin out on some sushi. I got the pekking duck. Ghost is pumped about it

Ichiban Roll
Aeji K.

So the reason I'm giving a 3 instead of a 4 is because I thought the food was just ok. The part that got me was that the food was so salty and there was a lot of rice. When I bite into the roll, it's just... rice. A good roll should have a nice ratio of rice and sauce and crunch (none of these had crunch even though the description mentions crunch) and fish. I was extremely full eating half of my order but just from... rice. Another thing that bothered me was that I LOVE wasabi. I eat as much wasabi as a Japanese person probably. I like to have at least a tip of a chopstick amount of wasabi per sushi roll, but when I got my order, I received a LOT of soy sauce but only about 2 bean size amounts of wasabi (if you look at my photos, you can barely see the wasabi). It's one thing to give too much, but to barely have enough wasabi for my order was disappointing. On top of it all, these rolls aren't cheap. I got 3 rolls for $42 on Grubhub. For the price I pay, I expect better quality. And I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life so when I don't like something that means I really don't like it. The reason I give 3 stars is because the overall flavors are ok and they're quick with my order. But the biggest factors that make it a 3 and not a 4 or 5 are mentioned above. Would I come here again? It's hard to say. Was this just a bad day for them? Was their original chef somewhere else? These are things to consider, but experience today was subpar to say the least.

Menu we got with our order and our receipt - we got charged $5 more per person than we should have
Jayne M.

Got overcharged (bento boxes at dinner rate instead of lunch, so $10 more overall) but the food was good. Not a great look for our first visit, though...

Hibachi Bento Box Dinner yummy!

Awesome food & great portions! Love the bento box with sweet potato roll, gyoza, rice, soup & salad.

The food is good. Not amazing, but good. But they get bonus points for doing the lord's work on a part of Ridge that needs a lot of love.

We've been coming here for a number of years and enjoy it consistently. The menu is extensive from…read morenoodle dishes, to Sechuan, and Taiwanese selections. The homemade DanDan noodles were our favorite, which are served with ground pork in a spicy peanut sauce. We also got the three cup chicken which was so good, with a sweet, licorice-like glaze. Some other favorites were the black pepper chicken and the long hot chicken, if you enjoy spice. We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

ATMOSPHERE: Intimate spot with a small loft, soft music and big windows for people watching. Takeout and deliveries seemed to be the majority of the business. RESERVATIONS: Not needed on this particular Monday night. PARKING: Street or garage. MENU: Sichuan & Taiwanese dishes. No dim sum. BEVERAGE: Lychee Martini Perfectly chilled and balanced, complete with a whole lychee garnish. FOOD: Dan Dan Noodles We got it plain but proteins were available. Thicker noodles coated in a thick peanut-flavored sauce with a little kick of heat. Very good but I'd definitely add either chicken or tofu to break up the carbs. Dry Pot Dish Served in a steel wok, we opted for chicken which was super tender. Very flavorful dish but it wasn't presented sizzling as the menu stated. Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup If you're a ramen fan and want something different, I think you'll love this as much as I did. A generous amount of thick noodles (available hand-ripped flat noodles are a $1 option), chunky slices of tender and fatty beef swimming in a savory and slightly sour dark-hued broth. Forgot to nix the cilantro but it wasn't overly loaded. Total yum. SERVICE: Greeting was immediate and friendly. Male server was knowledgeable but there was no follow up. OVERALL: A very enjoyable alternative to traditional Asian cuisine.

Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

Hopefully it's good food!? The hostess warned us of 15 minute delay for seatings. No worries. Sat at bar enjoying a beer which was nice. Got to be sat in a room, circular table which was perfect! Then the staff got to work. Took drink orders and food orders. The food was ordered by my daughter so I really don't know what was name of each dish. The Hot and Sour was super.

They had an extensive menu, most of which, I've never tasted. So we requested some egg rolls as an appetizer. I also requested won ton soup. My daughter and I decided to share some Singapore noodles and my son requested orange chicken. My cousin requested beef and tofu and two different kinds of dumplings. The food is served family style and it turned out that we requested too much. However, all the dishes were yummy. Favorites were the spicy dumplings, won ton soup, orange chicken, and beef and tofu. There are so many Asian restaurants in this area that you could never try all of them. Anyway, I'm glad we enjoyed EMei. Recommend.

However, I found that the meal didn't live up to what I remembered at the UCity Han Dynasty or the Sichuan food I've had at other spots. My partner and I ordered the dan dan noodles and double cooked pork belly to share, our longtime regular order. The portions were generous and prices were affordable, but both dishes fell short in some ways. The dan dan noodle sauce was mostly sesame-based with little of the chili heat I remembered, and there was only a bit of the ground pork topping. It left me wondering whether they hold off on the spice at this location due to the clientele, whether they changed the recipe, or whether it was just an off day. The pork in the double cooked pork was overcooked and tough, and the dish didn't have enough of the veggie components (leeks and peppers) to balance it out. Another minor nitpick - there was a World Cup game going on while we ate and the multiple downstairs TVs had the game on. The second floor where we were seated also had a nice big TV, yet it seemed to be left on a screensaver slideshow of random landscape photos. Would have been nice to watch the game! I was overall left feeling pretty meh about the meal. I'd give the UCity location another shot, but don't think I'd come back to the Old City one.
