She describes it as magical and while I might not go that far, I do agree that it has some soul healing properties.

The dining room is really pretty, and well-appointed! We were seated right away by friendly staff. Looking around, this appeared to be a very family-friendly establishment, as that was, by far, the most prominent type of connoisseur in the house on this evening! Our waitress was wonderful, and helped us with some recommendations upon us letting her know it was our first visit! She checked in with us frequently, and made sure drinks were always refilled promptly! We had a bunch of different items, and all were very good! We tried sushi rolls, beef noodles, and ramen. I'd have to say that the beef noodles probably were the best item for me! Prices were just about as you'd expect: not too high, but not super cheap either...but wholly justified by the great food and lovely service and experience!

We were celebrating a birthday and they brought the birthday boy a Moon pie with chocolate sauce and a sparkler. It was very sweet of them to l celebrate with us. A couple of folks in our party had a few drinks. They also said those were good. It said karaoke, but no one was doing karaoke and we were so busy eating, we forgot to ask about it. Service was very good. The wait staff checked in on us often. I really loved that the tables had a little drawer that had all the utensils and napkins that we would need throughout the dinner. Fun place to have a dinner with friends.

European deli sandwiches with quality ingredients and generous portions on fresh baked bread…read more It's so obvious, DeLishka is delicious! Though a bit obscure and hard to find, those who want a good sandwich know where to go. There is a curated selection of Italian, French and German sandwiches. This was my first visit so ordered a Cipriani with Italian mortadella, marscapone(!), arugula, pistachios and balsamic. It was the marscapone that sold me, but this was generously portioned and (let's be honest) messy for me to eat because the sandwich was piled high. I had to take half to go. I heard a few orders for the Gusti dal Nord (prosciutto, Gorgonzola, arugula and pear), and that sounds enticing as well. The bread is fresh and crusty. They had a tomato soup the day I was there, and I read on the website that they have pierogato -- Eastern European dumplings.

Just tried this spit. I had a Cipriani and my friend had a Caprese. Our sandwiches were very…read moretasty overall. The bread was freshly baked, the meats sliced correctly and toppings tasty. The mascarpone was more like mayo or butter which I didn't like. The pistachios they add to the sandwich are literally pistachios which is odd. A spread or something would be better. The prices were very fair but we did have to wait about half hour to receive our order. There was one person making sandwiches and one person doing the payments. The place has crummy ambience. The interior is kinda gloomy and the music was loud and unappealing so it would be hard to have a conversation inside and there are two tables outside but they are right along the parking so, again, not appealing. The menu could be bigger and include maybe a couple salads or something else. We liked what we had but I think they need to do a little more to create a place that's really craveable. It's good to have a local sandwich shop option. It this place needs a bit more on its menu and a vibe inside to make it really something special for sandwich lovers.

Overall, I'll stick with tonkatsu next time.

Even though most of the tables were filled, the place still wasn't very loud. I ordered the special BLT sandwich, with a side salad. The description says that there is crispy bacon, but unfortunately it was not crispy at all. Instead, it was soft and a bit oily. Overall, the flavor of the sandwich tasted good, though. I appreciate that instead of fries, I could get a side salad with it. And the side salad was amazing! Their ranch is also delicious.

Side dishes are always refilled at request. We felt very well fed dining here. Entire place very clean.

We ordered the raw marinated shrimp, seolleongtang, and spicy galbitang. The raw marinated shrimp was fresh and flavorful, and the seolleongtang really hit the spot. The broth was clean, comforting, and exactly what I was craving. The spicy galbitang was the only dish that fell a little short for me. The flavor wasn't what I expected. It leaned more salty and was missing that deep, beefy richness that I usually associate with a good galbitang.

Everything on the menu looked amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try the beef ribs next time. If you're looking for hearty, authentic Korean comfort food, Claypot is absolutely worth a visit.

It's a jazzed up Italian beef it came with their special house sauce, Swiss cheese, pickles, grilled onions and more. This is a small spot that also does the long party subs and catering.

The fries were salted well and had a nice crispness to them. If I was back in the area I would stop again.
