    3/4 Lb. Tri-Tip Dinner
    Chelly C.

    Always been wanting to try this spot since it's next door to my daughter's dance practice. We've always got their cheese fries and add bacon for a quick snack. Fyi - the large is a huge portion so suggest just getting a small unless you're sharing. However, one night we decided to order their tri-tip sandwich and tri-tip dinner. I was a bit hesitant as I read the reviews and many said that the tri tip was dry and/or salty. But decided to give this place a try and find out for myself. Unfortunately, the tri tip was way too salty. My husband and I split it and we couldn't really eat it between us since it was so salty. Granted it was big portions, it just lacked in flavor. The only thing I liked about it was the mushrooms and onions. Also, the hush puppies were too hard and lacked flavor as well. I really wanted to like this place but figured I'll just stick to the cheese fries. Maybe I might give it another try and test out their burgers.

    The reviews are right, these are better than the other commercial places. This is how burgers use to be made, not microwaved fast foods. Service here is great too. This quaint location is next to 7-11 off of Loveridge. There is a free parking lot here too. Definitely coming back here in the future.

    1/3 Lb. Burger, fries, and a can of soda.

    Burger was so flavorful and the fry's were great as well. The basket came with fry sauce which was super good. They were barbecuing tri tip out front so that will be a must try next time. Very clean and friendly! Will be back! Even the sodas were displayed well!

    Even if they say the sauce is in the bag, always check the bag anyway…read more We ordered for pick up on our 30 minute break, food was ready in time, my partner asked for musubi sauce and the girl said "it's in the bag" He gets home, sure enough the sauce was definitely not in the bag. I just said to save the musubis for later so he can get the sauce on the way home from work. We had the chicken katsu plate, it was a good portion, but the katsu sauce was watered down, so disappointing. We asked for all rice this time because I just couldn't like their mac salad and it would always go to waste. I called in to notify that we didn't get any musubi sauce and the man said we have to ask for it...which we did and were told it was in the bag. He asked if I wanted to go back so I said yes, we'll get a katsu and musubi sauce. My partner went back after work and the girl was giving him a difficult time just picking it up. She kept asking "you came earlier right?" He answered yes and she didn't even want to give the katsu sauce, but ended up giving a smaller container of it. It was already an inconvenience that we had to wait to eat what was supposed to be part of our lunch, but does it hurt the business that bad to give an extra katsu sauce for having to drive back? I was going to give 4 stars since I didn't want to make a big deal over the sauce, but after I seen the small size of watered down katsu sauce and heard about the issue my partner had to deal with to get the sauces, I just don't want to get my Hawaiian food from there any longer.

    Again, in my search for the best place to have lunch and dine, I came across Alibaba Kabob House…read more I quickly found a dish on Yelp that I wanted to have for lunch. I called and ordered for dine in, and they told me 15 minutes. I headed out to the restaurant. Parking is on the side, so keep that in mind. I entered the place and let them know I was there for my dine in order. The place was quiet, clean, and neat. The food arrived at my table in no time, about 2 to 3 minutes. It was pleasant to see the effort the crew put into delivering such a nice presentation, from the water bottle to the shish kabobs and the chutney sauces. I loved the combination of flavors from the rice and meat together. I added the chutney sauces, both the green and red, which elevated the flavor to the next level. In case you do not like sauces, you will still enjoy the awesome flavor of the rice and the juicy meat from the shish kabob. The price is absolutely on point with the portion size, flavor, and presentation. I would recommend Alibaba Kabob House for a nice quiet family dinner. They also offer more options with chicken and lamb. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience with great food, excellent presentation, and flavors that make me want to come back and try more of the menu.

The menu is the same. The taste is good. The service needs improvements. We had to reach to another table to get the utensils and napkins. We were not provided appetizer plates. After the meal was served we did not see a staff member until they brought the check. No dessert offered. We yelled goodbye but no one came out. When we left the restaurant the outside felt cooler and fresh; the restaurant didn't have the AC on. The food was good. The rice tasted good but it didn't taste like it just came out of a pot. The side salad was cheap lettuce; no cucumber or tomatoes or salad dressing. I sincerely hope they improve their service or they will loose all the former clients. I do wish them the best but I'm not visiting them for a long time.
