    Stopped in for a bite of Thai and Vietnamese. This spot can fill up quickly, so they prefer reservations. But even if you don't have one, they'll try to accommodate you.

    Drunken Noodles and Brussels Sprouts!
    Mia G.

    Went here this weekend with a friend for dinner and drinks and it was amazing. Walking in the staff are so friendly and accommodating, you can tell they want their customers happy. We got the Drunken noodles to share and the brussel sprouts, the portions are big so it was enough for the two of us. the noodles were a little spicy but delicious and the brussel sprouts were a 10/10, I will definitely be getting them again. inside the restaurant is super cute there is low lighting and decorations to match. I would like to try different dishes and for sure will be going back.

    This used to be my go to spot but it was so off when we went this time. The people who asked for spice got none. The people who wanted mild received extra spice. Paid $7 for duck with my pad poy sian and only received 3 pieces of meat that was mostly skin and fat. Waited forever for our server to help us and we had to flag her down each time. The restaurant was also extremely hot that day and the ceiling fan was broken. I don't think I will be back again

    Cocktails were amazing. We got the Thai 75 and it was refreshing and sweet. I got the pad Thai which had a great sauce. However, it looks like they used pho noodles instead of pad thai noodles and it was a little tough.

    I'm giving this place a 3 out of 5 because of the server. If he hadn't been a jerk, I wouldn't have had an issue. The food was delicious. I'd rate the taste an 8 out of 10, and the flavor, color, and presentation a 10 out of 10. For appetizers, we had the Thai Sun-Dried Beef and the Duck Roll. For our entrées, we ordered the Bangkok Chicken and the Spicy Lemon. Now for the backstory. Parking is street parking and it's very hard to find. My friend and I found a spot after about 10 minutes. The entrance to the restaurant is downstairs, so you have to walk down a few steps. I have an injured knee, so I was already annoyed knowing it would irritate it. While I was telling my friend "oh no" about the stairs, the server, who I didn't realize worked there at the time, said, "It's fine, it's exercise for you." I was immediately upset and responded that it had nothing to do with exercise but everything to do with my knee. He didn't say anything else and opened the door. He sat us right in front of the entrance and brought water shortly after. Because it was evening and freezing cold with people constantly coming in and out, my friend asked if we could move. He did move us, which was fine. It took about 10 minutes for him to come back to take our order, and the food took a while to come out. The service here is slow. I don't think I'll be returning. Being disrespected before even walking into the restaurant doesn't sit right with me.

    Went Saturday before the holiday hoping to experience the holiday speakeasy unfortunately it's only open after 5pm. So we didn't get that experience however, we were still able to order the holiday drinks. The restaurant reminds you of an old shop with a bunch of antiques. But the antiques were Christmas-y. We sat near the back and in this little tree hunt kind of thing. The waiter was kind and we had the crispy rolls and the drunken fried rice! Both were tasty, we even ordered more rolls to go. For our drinks we had the Kappa, Kau, and Mai Hero. The kau was a fan favorite. Parking is street parking we lucked up and found some right in front!

    Thanks to a friend's recommendation, we stopped here for a late-night dinner on our way home from a mini road trip. We found street parking without much trouble. The atmosphere: This place is an underground gem! It's adorable and was decorated beautifully for the holidays. There's both bar and table seating, and my friends and I were seated at an elevated, cubby-style table that was super cute. The food: We started with the fried calamari, which was light, crispy, and delicious. It paired perfectly with the sweet-and-sour sauce. The kao soi was the standout for me. It was super flavorful, with a generous portion of noodles. The chicken was tender, and the curry was rich and perfectly balanced with a nice kick of spice. The service: Great service overall. Our server was still in training, but she was genuinely kind and attentive the entire time.

    Steamed Dumplings (chicken) and Asian Taco
    Lena M.

    My Noodle & Bar has such a lovely outdoor space and cozy interior. I really love the vibe. While the service can be slow, the people who work here are super kind and that makes up for it. I think I've tended to order the wrong dishes and would be curious to try different things other than what I have ordered or tried from other people. I went for a date night with my fiancé this weekend and we were seated immediately. Do know to get to the host table you have to go down stairs. Normally I'd go for the noodle dish, but I decided to do appetizers as my main. I got the chicken steamed dumplings and Asian tacos. My fiancé got the wild mushroom tofu dish. This is not the restaurant's fault and doesn't affect my review, but do be warned that when we ate outside, a swarm of flies kept coming towards our food. In the past, I ordered the Khao soi, the noodles were different than what I was used to. I found the spicy to be nice and there, but a bit one dimensional. I felt the same about the Asian tacos. The tofu dish was a bit bland. As for the dumplings, they weren't for me. I think if I return I need to try more noodle dishes!

    Great food, kind staff, decent prices. We will be back! Everything tasted so authentic!

    This place is super cute and it's a lowkey speakeasy with this new extension bar in the back. The food was super authentic. The owner was running around as well which was a nice touch. The service was a lil slow and they seem to be a bit understaffed. We did have a little wait for the food but the taste was worth it. The Thai tea was the best I've ever had in my life.

    Bahama mama
    Javell H.

    This place is bustling, especially on a Friday and Saturday. If you want to have a seat, definitely call ahead to reserve. We sat at the bar, which had a nice ambience. They're nicely decorated for the holidays. We started with the spicy chicken wings, which honestly was a 10 out of 10 they were so delicious. I got a drink. I believe this was the Bahama mama, but I'm not sure and it was also incredibly delicious and strong. I got the drunken noodle dish which I liked. I wish it was a little spicier however it was still good. The service here was amazing however they were a little slow, but I believe that was because it was so busy.

    Daughter's drink.  Wish I could remember the name but a little sweet and delicious.
    Karen B.

    Oh. My. Goodness! My daughter and her fiancé made reservations for us to celebrate my birthday. It is a very small place with great energy. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted with smiles and great service. The mixed beverages we had were delicious and the food was phenomenal! Portions are large so expect to take some home to enjoy the next day. Will definitely be going back here!

    Myan L.

    Sun dried beef as the appetizer was amazing! I was so full eating my pad thai with shrimp extra sauce of course! The lady who served us was amazing despite her saying she doesn't serve often! I always love the experience here with the nice Christmas decorations. Min's that the Pad thai noodles are thinner than most places and the pad see ew noodle are a bit thicker. Although pricier than other locations, the vibe and the service is definitely amazing! Parking can be difficult, although a little run to and from your car is worth it to eat food you know will not miss .

    From top to bottom pork steamed dumplings; chicken wontons on a stick; shrimp spring rolls; duck rolls

The server, Briana, was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Personable, great smile, friendly, and knew her stuff. We ordered the brussel sprouts- they were great with a nice heat from the sauce. We had the crispy skin salmon, which came with a nice fresh salad, The skin was amazingly crispy and the flesh was flavorful. I asked Briana to surprise me with something good and boy did she deliver. It was their porkchop served over some super tasty mashed potatoes. Note that this is not how they are usually served, it was Briana's favorite way to eat this dish so she made the decision for me. The porkchop was very very good. Nice grill marks, onions, and a very nice cream-based sauce. This was so so good. They are doing great food at this new location and I will be back again.

    if you are going to read any of these dumb yelp review in full, this is the one…read more i once read an article describing the talent of the head chef's ability here to "cram so much bold flavor into a tiny dish". in general, i usually dread small plate restaurants expecting to pay a large bill and leave hungry. this was the exception. these were the most unique, creative, high end, flavorful, dishes i have ever had. seriously. the absolute best BITES of my ENTIRE life. i swear to god dormant tastebuds and flavors i didn't even know existed were provided here. the chef here draws spanish inspiration into each dish, and i was in there feeling like the food critic from ratatouille the way familiar flavors blended in effortlessly with extravagant flairs. and don't get me started on the presentation !!! everything was gorgeous. this restaurant was named #3 out of 100 in the city, and i honestly think it should be #1. i may be biased since my boyfriend works at a sister restaurant owned by the same guy, but this is definitely the favorite sibling for me. unreal how fresh, flavorful, and carefully crafted everything was. so so so so good. if you come to richmond, make this the top priority to visit. that being said, if you can't handle intense, innovative flavors, this isn't the place for you. also, go during happy hour

    Hats off to the staff at Lillian who continue to be wonderful, but now that they have scrapped…read moretheir dollar oyster lunch specials, the food has absolutely nothing to offer. Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.

He asked for the password and we, unprepared, had to tell him a joke or an interesting fact. Luckily, my partner had one on hand. The atmosphere was lovely, very reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, or at least what you'd imagine it to be like. Our server came by within a few minutes of us being seated. She lacked enthusiasm, unlike the host, unfortunately. Her service turned out to be lackluster as well. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the filet mignon with asparagus. For drinks, the Grape Gatsby and Maine root beer. The food, like our server, lacked appeal. The saving grace was the host and the atmosphere. The view was lovely and the intimacy of the setting was a welcome experience. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding, and it was tasty, though nothing special. The burned odor that we smelled prior to its arrival turned out to be the bread. I can recommend Grandstaff and Stein as an experience, but you should not expect much in the way of culinary delights or exemplary service. We probably won't be back, but if you've never been, it's worth trying at least once.
