    Ghetto and low class. We went to sit down and eat for dinner. They made us get up and get paper menus from the front then said we had to order at the counter and they would give us paper plates to eat off of. So trashy. The employees a man and a woman were rude and clearly didn't want to be working there. Then they claimed they didn't have any hot tea lol. We will not be back. This place won't be open much longer if they keep this up.

    Mongolian Beef Lunch

    This place was well rated on our beloved Yelp but I'm not sure why. Place was definitely clean and service was fast and friendly. We went at lunch and ordered at the counter before sitting in a booth. The place was empty,but it was a Tuesday after MLK Day. So all and all we had high hopes. However, other than a superb egg roll and large portions, we found the food pretty bland and flavorless. I had the lunch Mongolian Beef and the DH had his standard sesame chicken lunch. Some of my onions were undercooked and it all lacked depth of flavor or umami or just plain seasoning. My usually not picky DH was equally underwhelmed.

    Dry chicken and dry chicken in plain rice :(

    1st time here.... Chicken in the rice was so dry, and no veggies, so plain. Chicken in vegetables was slimy and salty. Orange chicken was dry and hard. Broccoli was frozen, would have been nice to have fresh.

    Lucky Panda, I'm surprised that after all these years I've never written a review. You have been our go to for Chinese, from the Orange Chicken, Crab Rangoon, Pot Stickers, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Chicken and more. All have been outstanding! Sadly, when I went online to order lunch today I found you closed and the reason stated was because of the COVID epidemic. I'm looking forward to when you reopen and will continue to be our go to for Chinese.

    Hunan Chicken Dinner

    I ordered a Hunan Beef dinner online for pickup. When I arrived home, I opened my plate, and there was Hunan Chicken. I called Lucky Panda and explained what had happened. He then offered to remake the meal tonight. I told him I had to be at work the next day at 4 AM, therefore I would not be returning the same night. He then tells me not to eat dinner tonight. Then tomorrow bring the same plate back. I replied, what am I supposed to eat tonight? I guess if I can't come tonight then I just have to live with it. He replies, yeah, I am sorry. Sir, I will not be back at ALL.

    Three start sizzling...beef, chicken AND bbq pork.

My take-out order: * boat noodles * green papaya salad * tofu pad thai * beef drunken noodles I ordered online and the process was simple, pick-up was easy. I made a note that peanuts must be separate due to a peanut allergy, and everything was packed and wrapped separately, nicely organized in the takeout bag which I appreciate. The food was freshly made and the ingredients were fresh. I would definitely come back to try their curries. They are located in a strip mall and there is plenty of parking out front. I can't speak to a dine in experience but from my brief interaction with the folks out front, they were really friendly and kind. I will be back!

Very casual spot where you seat yourself in the restaurant of about 9-10 tables. We were waiting on quickly and the food looked great once but came out . I ordered the mango chicken as I've never seen on menu before and was not disappointed. Crispy and saucy which is exactly how I like it . Sauce flavor was a delight and it came with white rice which i upgraded to fried rice . Hubby got crab pad Thai and he really enjoyed it. He was pleased that it was real crab as well. He did ask for chili as he likes to add spice to everything. The appetizer crab Rangoon was on point as well and then we finished with mango sticky rice . My favorite dessert when available which was a tasty ending to a great meal. I'd definitely go back to try more dishes .

    Tusk is a cherished restaurant for my brother and his family so I have had their food in take out…read moreform a couple of times before but back in January was the first time I dined in at the restaurant. It's a cozy byob spot with a large menu offering a variety of Thai dishes. We had a big group of 10 people that my brother called ahead for and I have to say that I was pretty surprised they were able to accommodate us on a Friday night given how busy it was throughout our time there. The staff was on it all night so the service was very smooth from appetizers all the way to dessert. I was happy to be able to go with such a large group as we got to sample a bunch of things. For appetizers alone we shared orders of summer rolls, chicken satay, potstickers, money bags, gyo, cucumber salad and the lettuce wraps. For an entree I ordered the Koong Kra Tiem which came with big jumbo shrimp and was really savory. The steamed vegetables were a little bland but wiping up the extra sauce from the shrimp fixed that. Other notable dishes were the basil beef stir fry my dad got and the Green Fire chicken and Thai fried rice my brothers ordered. I really appreciate what Tusk offers in terms of food but what has made them stand out is their commitment to service and how kind they are. I'm sure my family and I will be looking forward to enjoying a meal from their restaurant again soon.

The owner and staff are so friendly, it's contagious. The red curry is perfectly seasoned with lots of vegetables. The pad thai wasn't too oily and was generous with shrimp. The mango sticky rice was the perfect texture. The only thing was, the egg roll was much too greasy it was almost inedible for me. Ambiance: It's very cute inside, not crowded, and it's located right by the river walk area near some vintage stores. It's a perfect location to eat and then walk after!
