Hong Thai delivers some real highs, with a few misses along the way…read more The vegetable soup was excellent, fresh, clean, and comforting, with vegetables that tasted bright and just prepared. The egg rolls were a standout as well: crispy, well-seasoned, and genuinely memorable. The spicy fried rice with basil, however, fell short. While the vegetables were fresh and well-cooked, the dish lacked the spice and flavor I was expecting. It felt mild and underwhelming compared to how promising it sounded on the menu. Service was fine, nothing exceptional, but no major issues and the ambiance is what you'd expect from a local Thai spot: casual, comfortable, and straightforward.

We went back (again) today. Friendliest service and food remains delicious. We tried a couple of…read morenew to us dishes including the drunken noodles and a coconut curry spin on pad Thai - both were wonderful. They had takeout going pretty steadily.

Cambo Flare is a hidden gem in Big Lake!…read more Since we visited last, they have changed up their dining experience, but we enjoyed it! You scan the QR code at your table, order online, pay online and someone delivers all items (to your table) in takeout containers. Even with this updated experience, without "wait staff", everyone was helpful and attentive. The signature sticks, with the yum-yum sauce, has to be my personal favorite. You have to be so careful not to fill up on their delicious wontons and purple egg rolls (appetizers!) The restaurant and restrooms are clean and welcoming - nothing fancy, just what you would expect for small town dining! It looks like they host local musicians from time to time. The owner was working alongside his team and so friendly! He often treats his customers to his signature sweet wontons (secret flavors!) Our only complaint, and this comes paired with a picky eater. The description of their dishes doesn't necessarily disclose all vegetables/ingredients used. So, some surprises were had! It was delicious and a very minor complaint! We can't wait to visit again!

Visited Sweet Basils for dinner tonight. There were two other tables occupied, so it wasn't busy…read more Service was not good. We asked for tea when we arrived, we ended up having to ask again after the food was brought out. We had to ask for silverware, which was not provided at the table. The waitress didn't come check on us to see how the food was or refill beverages. The only time she came to the table was to take the order, deliver food and drop off the bill. As for the food, they have a broad menu with many options. I ordered the cashew chicken. Lots of veggies and some chicken, it was ok. Overall was disappointed by the service and food was just ok.

I had a pretty bad experience. It felt like a total waste of money…read more To start, the soda was completely flat, not a single bubble in it. It's a small thing, but drinking flat syrup really sets a bad tone for the rest of the meal. We also tried the Bulgogi Fries. They were fine, I guess, but definitely not worth what they're charging. They are way overpriced for what you actually get. The food didn't get much better from there: Chicken Fried Rice: This was extremely "normal." There wasn't anything special about it, but for some reason, it had a weird hit of sugar in it that shouldn't have been there. Japchae: This was the real disaster. Japchae is not supposed to be sweet, but this version was sugary and cloying. It was honestly the grossest japchae I've ever had, and I've been eating that dish my entire life. Ultimately, the whole meal just felt like an exercise in late-stage capitalism: mass-produced, overpriced, oversugared and poor quality. People really shouldn't be eating this kind of food. Save your time and your cash and go somewhere else.

I really like the Korean fried chicken here at Bonchon! 5/5 for the chicken alone…read more They have boneless wings, traditional wings and drumstick Korean fried chicken options. You can get the Korean fried chicken with or without sauce. I like the Yangmgeon and spicy garlic sauces. I think the limited sides and other dishes could have more flavor and don't recommend them.

The only slight let down was on the rice dishes, as they would've tasted better with sticky rice or sushi rice! Still really tasty place!

Service is mostly self-serve. When I walked into the restaurant, I was immediately met with the smell of delicious meats being grilled. My youngest child actually said (after smelling the food), "Yummm, I like this place." There are a few tables and the place is well-lit. I thought the pho was okay, but the rest of the food was very good. Look at those Flinstone-sized ribs (see picture). Go and go hungry! Pros: Soup bar! Great staff BBQ meats smell and taste great Cons: There are other Hmong restaurants whose prices are a little cheaper than Rocky's.
