I had the vegetarian bento kinda thinking maybe I should order more, but delicious dish after dish after dish came out and by the end I was STUFFED. The noodles in the udon were absolutely superb (so silky) and you can tell that everything is made super fresh. The eggplant dish (forgot the name) and the okonomiyaki are a must. Two full meals (with no holding back) only ended up costing us $57, which was so decent considering on how much we ordered. One of my new faves. Highly recommend.

We didn't have a booking and all the funky looking tables out the front were taken. No bother, I was so hungarious that it wasn't that important. Seating was irrelevant. I wanted all their foods. We were seated and given these wonderful little things that was a bit like a tangy salad served up in a tiny dish that you usually use to pour your soy sauce into. It tasted so good that I took my partners one too when he wasn't looking then promptly blamed a mouse. I ordered the gyukushi for my entree and wasn't disappointed. The beef was tender and the sauce was just perfect. Not too sweet and not too tangy. My partner ordered the yakitori - which was equally as delicious. I know this because the mouse struck again when I pointed out the interesting art work on the wall to my companion. Mains consisted of teriyaki chicken and the crispy chicken. Crispy chicken was mine and it really was crispy without being overpowering. I don't know how they do this... I might marry the chef. The teriyaki chicken was just as good. Mouse attacked AGAIN! They should do something about those pesky rodents. All in all, even though we were tucked away out the back the wait staff were just as attentive to us as if we were out the front of the house. A definite must do if you love all things Japanese.

I had to admit that I was a little surprised by the communal table setting. Though we were given…read moreseats at the end of the long table, there were two strangers opposite us. Thank god they were not obnoxious or loud because it would have ruin the dinner experience Food, however, was really good! We started off with the betel leaf with smoked salmon, it was refreshing because of the watermelon juice on it. A nice combination that I never tasted before. The stir fry squid was soooo good, it was fresh and tasty.....and the sauce is to die for, it went really well with white rice. The last dish we had was salt & pepper silky tofu, another excellent dish. The sauce that came with it was good. Overall, it was a good dining experience. I would not recommend this place if you are on your first date or if you want privacy for a quiet dinner with your dinner partner.

Longrain was my first upscale Thai food experience ever, and I loved it! I first read about this…read moremodern Thai restaurant in an in-flight magazine on my way to Sydney, and was legit salivating on the plane. Coincidentally, my Aussie friend had booked Longrain for our reunion dinner two days later - thanks, mate for reading my mind! Although it was a pricey dinner, our party of 5 enjoyed every course from drinks to dessert. Recommend ordering these standouts: - Ping Pong passionfruit lychee cocktail...tropical ingredients that instantly put me in a beach vacation mindset. - raw oysters with chili jam mignonette... refreshing starter to our meal - betel leaf confit salmon... exotic dish with varying textures. - fried chicken in turmeric coconut cream sauce... let's just say, I wanted to drink the sauce like soup because it was that good. - northern Thai lamb curry... not your typical traditional Thai meat, but the lamb was incredibly tender and the dark curry had vibrant flavor. - black sticky rice dessert with coconut jelly, vanilla tapioca and fruit... loved the consistency and mild sweetness. Every meal should end with this heavenly dessert. Sad that I can't find anything similar in my hometown back in the states. For now, I will just have to enjoy this meal in my dreams.

Starting with the food we have enjoyed most of the delicious food on the menu and If you peruse their menu online you will observe that their prices are quite reasonable. Our favorite dishes on their menu are the Salt and Pepper Squid and the Salt and Pepper Chicken; we use it as the benchmark dishes when comparing to other Chinese restaurants. As it relates to the service; whether we dine in or order take away we are always greeted with genuine friendliness and a few of the staff have even taken the trouble to greet me by my name. If you live in the Hills or are just visiting and you feel like Chinese food then I highly recommend Yee's Palace as being one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Hills, if not the best. For the delicious food, great value and friendly service.

I really wanted this to be a 4-star review, but I just couldn't justify it…read more It wasn't too bad, the staff were really nice, the food was hit or miss, the service... well they were polite, but some things left a lot to be desired. I ordered two entrees - I had the prawns and calamari and an eggplant parmagiana. My seafood was amazing, really crispy, luscious salad, great dipping sauce. I wish I had not been such a greedy guts and stuck to that only. The servings are VERY generous, gotta give them credit for that. The eggplant parmagiana was pretty bland. I mean, you know it can't be great when you order an eggplant parmagiana and then you have to ask the waiter to bring you more parmesan cheese... because it doesn't have much taste. My whole table was like, uhhhhh.... really? I'm like, yeah really. My eggplant parmegiana tastes like it's missing... PARMESAN! The food took ages to come out... like ages and ages and THEN when it did come out, they forgot my friend's gnocchi and she was sitting there even longer with no food while everyone else was chowing down. Then to add insult to injury, when she gets her gnocchi and is almost finished, the waiter comes by and is like "are you finished?"... and she's a nice, agreeable type of person and she says yes and lets him take it away, but really she wasn't finished, HE RUSHED HER. Dude, if someone has a fork in their hand and food on the plate, THEY ARE NOT FINISHED! Don't ask people if they're finished! Just leave them alone! So yeah, nothing totally awful, but definitely wasn't exceptional in any way. I don't think they deal with larger groups well.

Had dinner here for my wife's birthday tonight and arrived a bit early for our 7:30pm reservation…read more After 30 minutes, our starter finally arrived. After a few minutes from receiving the starter, we notice the table next to us who arrived 20 minutes after us had already started eating their entrees. We patiently waited for our food but after some time, we decided to ask about it. When we did, the waiter said, "yeah the kitchen staff has been making some mistakes tonight but let me check on it." He came back and said the food was coming. Another 10 minutes go by and as we are about to ask, we see pizzas coming our way and think surely one of those is ours. Wrong. The table of four on our other side who arrived also about 20 minutes after us were receiving 4 pizzas. At this point, we were upset and confused. My wife asked the waiter if our order had been lost to which the waiter said yes to and apologized. He came back and told us our order would come in about 2 minutes. Another 10 minutes later, our food comes, and we gently told the waiter we would have appreciated if we had been informed about our order being misplaced. He agreed and again mentioned the kitchen staff was having issues. As we started to eat, we realized the pizza was cold. We were not happy especially after waiting forever. We spoke to the waiter, and he agreed the pizza was cold. After speaking with the kitchen staff, the waiter said our 2 options were for us to wait for a new pizza or pop in our current one on our table back in the oven which is so gross. Even pre-covid, the image of putting a touched pizza back in the oven is unacceptable. We let the waiter know we were not expecting another new pizza because we didn't want to wait any longer, but we did want to speak with the manager. Lucky manager had just left the store to go manage their other location (so we were told). The waiter still made a phone call to the manager and passed on the message from the manager in which he said our order came out at a reasonable time and therefore there is nothing that they can do. He even had the waiter read out our times from when the order was placed to when we got the starter and then the 2 entrees. He also reiterated the words of the kitchen staff in that we could wait for a new pizza or pop in our touched one. We told the young waiter many times we understand it was not his fault but again would have appreciated better communication about our lost order. We also let him know we were upset with his managers words because they had the opportunity many times in their responses to handle the situation better. When we were paying the waiter apologized yet again but this time snarky added "hey it's not my restaurant so I can't do nothing" which was totally uncalled for. Have been to eat here a couple of times and enjoyed it. After today's treatment, it would be very unlikely we return there. The waiter told us that our order ticket was misplaced for a while AND he agreed our pizza was cold, yet he came back and was rude through uncalled remarks. Poor customer service and waitstaff. I can understand the challenges with covid and all, but the responses given tonight were appalling. If an acceptable wait time for you is 50 minutes for a cold main meal, here's a great location for you to eat at. I've been here a couple of time prior, it will be hard to bring me back after tonight's dismal experience.

Another time I ordered a coffee and a cinnamon scroll and was congratulated for my marvellous selection with a solemn but very reassuring "hmm, good one!" Don't you love it when you make great choices and are applauded for it! I, for my part do. It's like that pat on the shoulder I didn't get today. Karoo & Co is also place where you get your hipster fix in Fox Valley. Not that next door's Fox Caffe isn't hipster, but Karoo just tops it a bit more. It's got all the hallmarks: Paddle instead of plates for that more earthy feel, menu on paper scroll for that recycle feel, exposed bricks for that warehouse feel. You can even buy fancy teaspoons for $10 a piece or serviettes for $40. What a bargain! Now I just need to get some tattoos of something resembling a Game of Thrones pattern or grow a beard, or both. Okay, so I've been guilty of going there once in a while and still not knowing what that "Co" is for, let alone, what Karoo even means. It's as mysterious to me as the hipster movement, but who doesn't like a bit of mystery. Spooky, ey? Oh, coffee is alright, but not earth shattering. I guess something's gotta give...
