    a person sitting at a table with two drinks
    Margarita M.

    I called ahead to make sure they had Boba tea and when I got there they greeted me and knew just who I was. They were very friendly and offered suggestions for my little brother who hadn't tried it before. The boba tea was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

    Udon noodles with chicken
    Chelsea J.

    Under new owners, we were very disappointed. The food wasn't terrible, but the change is not for the better. I had Udon noodles and they were alright; there is some spice in the sauce that I can't identify and I did not find pleasant. Almost a sweet, bullion-type taste. Hubby got the Hawaiian fried rice because they did away with our favorite Pineapple Express (they have chicken, Pineapple, green onion, and soy sauce; I have no idea why they wouldn't just make it for him). His dish was not good. The rice was over cooked, it was way too sweet, and tasted of that unidentified spice. He didn't finish his food which is rare for him. They refused to make us our favorite dish and don't have Coke - there's really no reason for us to go back. Sad.

    For San Angelo, this place is pretty good. Otherwise, it would really get three stars. To be extremely honest, Donutopia's dishes are better prepared and more flavorful. Although, I am extremely appreciative that Lotus Cafe is nearby as an alternative option when I'm craving noodle soup, noodle salad, and/or tapioca/boba/pearl drinks after Donutopia is closed. It's a great option when I'm too lazy to cook and am craving good Asian food.

    I like how San Angelo....SAN ANGELO. Has gone from "What is Pho?" To "Pho...Pho everywhere". I love how they make it when you order it, How fresh the ingredients were, and how clean it was. The eggrolls......oh man! Most times the egg rolls are bulk,frozen, premade and ehhh. These are fresh and awesome. We got the pineapple express, Beef Pho, and of course, the eggrolls. Im still making my circuit around all the local Pho joints. So far I haven't been disappointed. The one thing I gotta say, you get ALOT of food. Id recommend splitting a entree.

    Beef Lo Mein

    I tried to pick up my lo mein with my fork to get it out of just sitting in the excess grease/oil in my to-go box, and it's still extremely oily. Worst lo mein I've probably ever had. It's flavorless compared to the overwhelming taste of oil. Beef Lomein

    Spring roll and Panang Curry
    Kat P.

    Found this cute little restaurant while at lunch. They weren't very busy on a Thursday afternoon but was surprised just how good their food was. I had the spring rolls and the panang curry and it was sooooo good. It was perfectly spiced. I only wish their spring rolls came with the peanut sauce. The staff was also very nice and helpful with suggestions of what's in their menu. I will definitely be back!

    Yummy ! Pad Thai with shrimp and chicken , teriyaki chicken with fried rice,All food is great here!

    This is my favorite restaurant in San Angelo! It is always great and the staff is always friendly! Yummy food!

    On our "179th Month-i-versary", we decided to have Breakfast at our favorite place right down the…read morestreet, Kozy Kitchen. Arrived, they had lots of cars & trucks parked in their lot. I say cars & trucks because this is West Texas, and just about everyone has a truck, except us. We did, and we still should, but that's another story, and I want to keep this review short like my others. Went inside and were told to sit anywhere you want. I guess they really didn't mean that because I sat in the Kitchen, and they kind of frowned. (hehe) That's when we grabbed a booth. Our Server, Norma, came over and took our drink order. Coffee with creamer for me and a glass of water with lemon for Nancy. We looked over the menu as if we didn't know what we wanted, but we did. When Norma returned with our drinks, we placed our order. My Wife is going with her standard, "Two-Egg Cheese Omelet, with Hash Browns and Wheat Bread. I am going with the same thing but having their Biscuits instead. While we waited for our food, I enjoyed some goooood Coffee with French Vanilla Creamer. Kozy Kitchen makes good coffee, not the weak kind you get at some other restaurants. Soon our Cheese Omelets arrived, and they looked delicious. The Hash Browns are prepared just the way we like'em, golden brown on the outer and potato-eee on the inner. The Two Cheese Omelet is also prepared perfectly with lots of Cheese. My Wife's Wheat Bread is toasted with a nice amount of melty butter on it. My Biscuits look different than what they served before. My Wife said they look more like Muffins. I spread lots of butter on one and took my first bite. They are, in fact, "Biscuits", nice-n-flaky inside with a golden-brown outer edge. The top, one could say, looks like a Muffin, but it does taste like a Biscuit. Also added some Strawberry Jam to the Biscuits. I drizzled some Cholula Hot Sauce on top of my Cheese Omelet, which brings out the flavor of tasty heat. That's some mighty good stuff. We both enjoyed our Cheese Omelets, and I ate all of mine and finished up my Wife's Hash Browns, with some added Cholula Hot Sauce. Our Server, Norma, earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award and loved it. She showed us the other one she has that I gave her before. Kozy Kitchen is one of the Best Breakfast places in San Angelo, and we Love coming here. They have more than just breakfast, and it's all good. (maybe next time they will let me sit in the kitchen) On the way home, we enjoyed another Beautiful (but getting hot) day in San Angelo, TX. Happy "179th Month-i-versary" Baby - Love You Bunches & KozyMunches.

    3/19 we stopped in for breakfast as it's our second time here. Last week the parking lot was full,…read morepeople parking out on the street and a line waiting to be seated.......This speaks for itself. Probably the best breakfast spot in San Angelo as far as I'm (we) are concerned. The service is top notch and the breakfast is simply hard to beat. Also, they have an assortment of condiments on each table, reasonably priced menu selection and the restaurant is clean. HIGHLY recommend breakfast here and now our "go to" place for breakfast.
