    Absolutely insanely rude staff. The woman working the front needs to be replaced or given a course in customer service. This place closes at 8:30, right? So, we walk in, starving, at 7:51. You'd think that would give us 39 minutes to eat. Nope! She starts rolling her eyes and muttering under her breath, and told us that we had to order right away. We ordered appetizers and then she told us we couldn't order anything else. "Our kitchen wants to go home" or something along those lines. The appetizers were fine, but I've never been rushed out of a place before they even close. The lady was so nasty!

    Pad Thai lunch special

    Met a friend for lunch here. At noon on a Friday they were busy but it wasn't crazy. Service was fine, not rude but not overly friendly either. It's not an upscale place to take anyone to impress them but the food was solid. I ordered tofu pad Thai and a Thai iced tea (same thing I always order at a new place). Tasted yummy but needed heat (for me!). Had enough left to take some to go for lunch the next day! I would go back.

    Papaya salad

    First time here. I ordered spicy papaya salad and medium spicy beef salad. Nothing is spicy at all. Not a damn chili on these foods. Beef salad tastes like fried beef in syrup Disappointed.

    Good food - good prices. They have great lunch specials. The drunken noodle (extra spicy) is my favorite.

Leaned on the salty side, but very unique!

    Wok n Fire used to be one of those rare places that genuinely justified its price point--where the…read morequality, flavor, and overall experience made you feel like you were getting what you paid for. Unfortunately, that standard has declined noticeably, and the difference is hard to ignore. What was once vibrant, well-executed cuisine now feels uninspired and inconsistent. The dishes lack the depth of flavor they once had, coming across as bland or carelessly prepared rather than thoughtfully crafted. Portions feel less generous, yet prices have continued to climb, creating a frustrating imbalance between cost and value. It no longer feels like a premium dining experience--just an expensive one. Equally disappointing is the overall execution. The attention to detail that once set this place apart seems to have faded, replaced by a more rushed and indifferent approach. Whether it's the presentation, the freshness, or the cohesion of flavors, something is clearly missing. It's genuinely frustrating because this was once a standout spot--somewhere you could confidently recommend without hesitation. Now, it feels like a shadow of what it used to be, riding on its past reputation while delivering a subpar experience at an inflated price. For what you're paying, there are far better options elsewhere.

The soup itself had the meat and green onions diced in the broth. The soup was hot but not too hot to eat temperature-wise. Our waitress was really nice but it took her at least 10 minutes to wait on us. There was a lot of people dining in tonight. The restaurant's very clean and there's plenty of seating. The restaurant is always comfortable not too hot not too cold. I highly recommend you come here and give it a try.

I ordered the special pho (#19), which comes with thinly sliced rare steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, cilantro, and onions. I also got the BBQ pork banh mi. The pho was pretty solid. However, I was disappointed with the banh mi. It looked quite different from the menu photo, which, of course, I understand that menu items are created to look their best and don't always come out the same, but this sandwich ended up looking more like a carrot sandwich, and I'm not a fan of carrots. There was only a thin slice of BBQ pork, and the bread was too doughy. The proportions felt off overall, and it was honestly my least favorite banh mi I've tried. I took a bite and ended up giving the rest to a friend who took it home. If I'm in the area, I'd come back for the pho.

Had a hard time choosing which to go but this one was the choice. They're only open in evenings so hours are limited. Basic looking place when coming up on it.

For sure it's worth going to if wanting to try some interesting rolls and other Japanese favorites. It's closed Mondays. There's lots to choose from but the rolls are the best things.

The sesame essence salmon was equally well-executed, with the teriyaki sauce served on the side so the flavor could be customized, plus a generous mix of crisp tempura vegetables. Both entrées also came with white rice and miso soup, which rounded out the meal perfectly. Overall, every component felt thoughtfully prepared and well-balanced. While the prices lean toward the higher end, the superb quality of the ingredients and the care in presentation made it feel well worth it. It's the kind of place where you can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail, and we left fully satisfied.

They do imeruli style, round and similar to a pizza, the crust beautifully blistered and the cheese thick with a wonderful pull. One of my friends hadn't had khachapuri before and is now a convert. We also had boso lagman, with hand-pulled noodles and beef, and big manty dumplings with flavorful meatballs inside. I requested we get a slice of honey cake, too, and that was a perfect finish to the meal. Sweet but not overkill, and really tasted like honey, graham crackers, and cream.

But points of caution that they are fried and have an almost sweet and sour sauce on top which for me was a little heavy. Overall quick and efficient service for a sit down lunch during the work week. They also appeared to have an extensive drink menu of different lemonade and coffee that I would be interested to try next time.
