So, we ordered 4 things to go: the vegetarian egg rolls, Chicken Almond Ding, Chicken with pea…read morepods, and Orange Chicken. The eggs rolls had very little inside them, but were pleasant enough fried dough. All of the chicken dishes seem to have a pressed chicken--not sliced or real chicken. Pleasant enough, but kind of strange. The Almond Ding had separate almonds, which was nice and Chick with peadpods appeared to have a little bit of real mushrooms and some real pea pods in it--but they lacked fresh flavor. The sauce is very bland, and kind of like a globby-like texture. There's a lack of any Chinese vegetables. No Bok Choy, no bamboo shoots, very few water chestnuts, no green pepper. Just tons of pressed chicken, and a bland white sauce. My husband's Orange Chicken was supposed to be hot but was not. It was pleasant but same pressed chicken now breaded (much better cover for pressed chicken). Lack of veggies in all the dishes. Would we go back? Probably not. Ended up throwing half of it away. Honestly, Panda Express is probably just as good which is kind of sad.

The Tasty Chef is such an authentic restaurant. Whenever my wife and I visit, we always see the…read moresame couple cooking in the kitchen. I can only assume they are husband and wife, but their presence creates the feeling that we are being welcomed into their home for dinner. They are consistently kind, respectful, and the food is absolutely delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. The fried rice is always cooked to perfection. Dining here genuinely feels personal, as though we are guests in their home rather than customers in a restaurant. I truly hope their business continues to flourish for many years to come. Yours Truly. PS. The added bar-b-que pork in the fried rice dishes is lovely...

Finally tried White Crane Thai and honestly it was worth the wait. We got the pad see yew, Panang…read morecurry, veggie sushi, and chive dumplings -- everything was really flavorful and fresh. The pad see yew had that perfect chewy noodle texture and the Panang curry was super comforting without being too heavy. Really appreciated that they can make a lot of dishes vegan on request and were open to customizations too. The servers were also genuinely friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.

The menu for the Thai food looked pretty similar to most Thai places with the exception of the sushi. I had to get my regular pad see ew. The flavor was good with not too much heat. It was just enough. Not much I would want to change. Maybe I would ask for a little more heat. I also tried a little of my friends pad Thai with beef. The beef was a little tough, but overall not bad. I liked that the dish was not dry at all. From the Thai dishes, I would say that the food is pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but would come back if I was in the area. Some of the sushi rolls seemed to be a bit pricy in my opinion, but maybe I'll try one next time just to try it.

The dishes he crafted for the table felt and tasted innovate and modern, but the underlying core cooking techniques are purely classical. From the the shishito peppers and edamame, to the duck, the A5 Wagu, crab and lobster, all the ingredients were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The dishes were also beautifully plated. There were choruses of oohhs and ahs with each new dish presented. Service was exceptional. Never felt like I had to wait or ask for anything. The dining room is spacious, bright, and clean. The night ran so smoothly, and everyone went home happy. A huge thank you to Chef Kevin and his entire team!

This was our first visit to Shabu-Yo. Knowing nothing of Japanese Hot Pot cuisine, I wonder if I…read moreshouldn't have added a star, just for good measure! We had a lovely time! The only "problem" we had - and it was OURS - was that we were utterly unfamiliar with the cuisine, or any 'best practices' related to cooking and eating our own Japanese meal. In the end (and we may be wrong!), we discovered that the best way to approach the meal was to create bowls of soup with ingredients that looked yummy, and to proceed from there. The issue with that, was that the flavor of the wagu seemed to be lost in the soup broth... so it seemed immaterial to me if the meat was wagu or some other thicker tasty meat. The crab portions were fresh and immense! I don't usually care for crab or lobster- too much heat loss between kitchen and table, and by the time I've released the MEAT, it's cold. I detest cold food - an abusive childhood. My bride gave me a few bites, dipped in the broth to warm it up. Yummy. We arrived at 6:45 or so on Mother's Day, with reservations. (Thanks!) We were immediately seated. It looked as if Shabu Yo had had a brisk afternoon - many as-yet-unbussed tables - which posed no issues at all - they were still sitting people lickety-split! Our waiter ("Putki"? sp) was very attentive and kind, and really cared about the quality of our experience. In fact, ALL of the staff seemed to evince the same care and attention, no matter how hard a day they may have had. And that brings up a point of realization: my wife and I are die-hard "Foodies". But the most memorable meals we've had have been at restaurants that exhibit care and pride at doing their ENTIRE JOB well - not just food quality, but ambience and the "experience" of dining there. Shabu You definitely met that measure! Heck, I'm gonna add that star! :) My Bride and I agreed that we'd definitely come back to explore further, after some personal research on the cuisine. I'm looking forward to it!

Absolutely terrible service. Came in for a family Valentine's Day dinner. We had an early…read morereservation (4:30p) for our family of 4 (two school age children). We were barely greeted when walking in and making immediate eye contact with the host but yet nothing was said - no "hello," no "welcome in", no nothing. After an awkward 10-15 seconds of standing there face to face, all that was said was "how many?" in the most irritated and unwelcoming of acknowledgements from the host. Dinner was decent and food and side options were good, although service was lackluster. Nothing really wowed me but I also don't really have complaints of the meal itself. We were sitting and eating for about 45 minutes when my husband asked for the check. We are "early payers," making sure to square away the bill if most of us are finished. We do this as a courtesy to staff so that the minute the last of our family is finished, we don't need to wait for the server to get our bill and wait to pay, we quickly leave so they can turn over the table (my family has owned a restaurant so I understand this need). My one child was not entirely done although 3 of us were. We are still under an hour of being at the table when the host comes over to do a general clean up then says, "now if you can please take the conversation outside, it's busy." Normally I would respect this method as turnover is importance, however, we had been at the table for LESS THAN an hour - not obnoxiously exceeding their 90-minute rule. My husband looked at him and said, "that's really rude, we've barely been here an hour." To which the host responds, "Yea, but don't you see it's busy? I have tables waiting" while pointing to the host stand. My husband and I are shocked at the comment so we end up seeing the owner helping tables and my husband tells him, "We understand the need to free up tables but his delivery was extremely unprofessional. There could have been a better way to have said that, we've only been here for 50 minutes." The owner was shocked himself that his host said that considering we were not there all that long. But the host came back hovering and telling him, "but they paid so I assume they should have left knowing there's tables waiting and they've already paid the bill." Again - shocked at the delivery. The owner was very apologetic but he should consider a better front of the house host/manager. It completely turned us away from ever coming back, it has been over 2 weeks and we still talk about how rude service was. All of that disrespect when here we were trying to make turnover quicker for them by paying right away. We were willing to give them another chance to enjoy a second meal there but not anymore.

The food is just as authentic and delicious as before. We ordered the Guo Bao Rou, Spicy Boiled Beef, dumplings, and shredded potatoes. Every single dish was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The portions are huge. Two of us ate until we were full, packed up the leftovers, and seriously got another entire meal out of it. Total bill was just over $70, which is an insane value for this much good food nowadays. Highly recommend checking them out!

I'm glad I waited because my options expanded to the entire menu, not just a one-off veggie dish!! Everything me and my partner tried was delicious. The service was so welcoming, kind, and hospitable. The place was nearly empty when we arrived and got a couple more tables during our stay. There was music on and off. It didn't feel air conditioned. To meat eaters: I understand the letdown of the menu you once loved changing drastically, and I know, who are you to trust me... but please don't write Luong Loi off completely. Maybe for one of the times when you go out to eat or order food, you can try doing veggie and support this lovely place. :-) For the appetizer, we were recommended the Mushroom Pani Puri. It was savory, great textures, with a very tiny bit of spice. For my partner's entree, he got the Fresh Rice Noodle with Crispy Rolls & Vegan Ribs. He loved it. I tried the vegan rib and it was delicious! For my entree, I got the Half-Moon Tofu Fried Rice with Vegetables & Vegan Sausage. This was so yum, great combo of flavors, savory and smokey, and the eggy crispy tofu was really great! Drink: Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk, brewed at our table with a Vietnamese phin filter that's placed over the cup. Stirred and poured over ice for a cold drink. This was nearly identical to how I make/prefer coffee at home, so it was PERFECTION.
