Great food. Amazing service, the guy runs a one man shop and you can clearly tell when you taste his food. The karaage is a must try here. I would recommend booking 1-2 hours out of your schedule however. As it is a one man shop, it takes a while for everything to be made and served. It is worth the wait though! read more

Went for my birthday dinner, very yummy appetizers, we almost ordered them all! Owner very friendly, it was not too busy and we did not find it any longer wait then any other sit down place. Delicious food. read more

I came to this place with a lot of anticipation based on the pictures of the food and the reviews. I had hoped this would be a hidden gem but there were just so many flaws. Having read about the wait time, I came mentally prepared. However, I hadn't expected to wait nearly 2 hours for 4 dishes. It was a Saturday night at 8pm. We were a party of 2 and had to wait for the owner to clean a table because none of them were clear of dishes from the previous patrons. No biggie. Another party came after us, followed by a pick-up order. That was all the traffic for the next 2 hours. The owner was friendly, making small chitchat with us as he cleaned the table. Asked us if we would like something to drink to which we replied water. It never came. I eventually took out a water bottle from my bag and drank from that instead. At 8:10pm, we ordered the ramen, tempura udon, japanese poutine and chicken karaage. My boyfriend and I spent the next hour playing candy crush to kill time. At around 8:45pm, the owner came out holding a tray looking to set some stuff on our table. I got excited that it was our food but it ended up just being napkins and chopsticks. Poutine came out at 9:10pm, karaage 9:17pm, tempura 9:25pm and finally the ramen at 9:45pm. I pretty much watched my boyfriend eat his udon (albeit stealing bites here and there) til he finished. Then it was his turn to watch me eat my ramen. So don't come here expecting a well-timed dining experience where you and your dining companions can feast together. How was the food? Pretty good. I could tell the potatoes he used for the poutine ($6.99) were a higher grade but it was dressed and sauced with rather simple ingredients - seaweed, soy mayo and cheese. Karaage ($8.99 for 6 pieces) was tender and juicy white meat. Nice and crisp, drizzled in the same sauce. Solid dish but nothing groundbreaking. The highlight of the night was the amazing udon broth. So flavorful. Unfortunately, the tempura was already soggy by the time it was served. It may be personal preference but I wish it was given on the side instead. I had so much expectations for the ramen ($12.49). Considering that I waited nearly 2 hours for it and the fact that it was on the pricier side with no egg...at this point, this was the one dish I wanted and NEEDED to be blown away by. It was really good but not all that amazing at that price. The menu DESCRIPTION and yelp photos indicated a soy-flavoured ramen but I was served spicy miso instead. First of all, I can't eat very spicy food. Second of all, this was a complete surprise because I was not informed prior in any way. We talked to the owner to which he said he ran out of soy-flavored ramen that night and could only serve spicy miso. But actually, he's going to be serving spicy miso ramen from now on. If he made the change that very day, I can overlook its omission from the menu. But if he ran out of the original flavor last minute, he should've mentioned it to me when I was ordering. Restaurant Managing 101. If I knew the ramen was spicy, I would've opted for something else instead. He apologized but lightly joked "kids can't eat this level of spicy but adults is usually okay". No, my issue was that you did not tell me. All things considered, I left Nobuya rather disappointed and unhappy. I don't want to imagine how long the wait would be if there were more orders. This place is in the middle of nowhere, prices aren't cheap and the wait is just painfully long. I really don't think the food is good enough to make a trip if you don't live in the area. If you do, I suggest calling ahead to place your order. The food has some real potential, but they desperately need to make changes to the way they operate such as getting some additional workers or it's just not really sustainable. It's too bad because I really wanted to like this place but it ain't worth the hassle. At this price and quality, I can dine at many other Japanese restaurants with a way nicer interior and be way less stressed. read more

I've been down this street multiple times, and so I was shocked to see Nobuya located right under my nose. Right away we were welcomed by the owner's positive energy. He sat us down, made light conversation, then introduced us to his menu. To start us off, we ordered the takoyakis, gyozas, and karaage. And in that order they came. The takoyakis were wonderfully sauced and garnished. But BEWARE, underneath their gorgeous exterior lies the pipping hot gooey octo goodness! Hard to resist, I did risk a couple tongue burns. Next came the gyozas followed by the karaage, which were all just as yummy and finessed. We were a group of 3 and all the items that came seemed to be perfectly divided amongst us. We ordered 2 tonkatsu ramens and 1 spicy miso ramen. And again, because this is a One man show they came out one by one. The wait wasn't long at all and so this didn't bother us. I had the spicy miso and WOW. This bowl was PACKED. It was as if the spicy miso broth was used just to fill the gaps between the noodles, pork slices, and everything else. I loved the rich, savoury, gingery, spicy miso taste this broth offered. I haven't been to Japan yet, so this is by far the best ramen I've had to date! read more

Not a great place to come if you're in a rush or bordering hangry symptoms. Perfect if you have time to chat and don't mind waiting while Nobu runs his restaurant solo. The menu is simple and stacked with Japanese favourites. We tried the takoyaki udon, karaage and chips, and spicy miso ramen. All three were delicious and we can't wait to come again. Also super excited that it's in Etobicoke. read more

Nobuya - Japanese Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

This is my 4th or 5th time here and it is still great. Nobu, the owner stayed open longer for me as I was running a little late. The KARAAGE was super soft and delicious. The soy ramen was rich and massive. And nobu again had extremely good costumer service. He was talking about getting the liquor license for the store which would definitely be a plus read more

Eating at Nobuya is truly an emotional rollercoaster. You start off on a high where you are super excited because of the amazing reviews online. You are greeted at the door by the all-in-one cook, server, and cashier who will tell you the wait is long, but the food will be good. After sitting down you feel you are trapped. You've already committed to waiting, but are beginning to doubt how good the food will be as 10, 20, 30 minutes pass without a hint of how much longer your food will take. You hear and see the owner checking in with those that already have food and begin to get hangry. You just want the conversation to end so that the chef can go back in the kitchen to continue cooking your food. You have hit rock bottom and are beginning to look deeply into the negative comments left by others online. Then the food arrives. Each bite you take, you begin to realize the amount of detail, time, and effort the cook put into your meal. The okonomiyaki with egg and yakisoba is a very unique take on okonomiyaki that still tasted great. You won't be able to taste much cabbage in the fried batter, but you will certainly be able to appreciate the perfectly cooked poached egg and the finely minced garlic hidden underneath the bonito flakes, green onions, and pickled ginger. The spicy miso ramen is a refreshing change from the ramen chains in Toronto. The broth was one of the tastiest that I've tried in the GTA and the pork (both the amount you get and the tenderness) was fantastic. I will admit that it is probably not the healthiest ramen to eat, but let's face it, fat is flavour. I would definitely recommend the ramen over the okonomiyaki. Sure, there really wasn't any great service provided like at a typical restaurant with a large number of staff (it's a one man show), but if you are willing to wait and enjoy the experience for what it is (the excitement, the waiting, the regret, the happiness), you will leave satisfied. read more

Went there 4/6 and 4/7, 2016, around 6PM. Both days Nobuya was closed. I am not sure if this means this place is closed for business permanently, but at least the owner should put up a sign on the store letting customers know when he plans to return and open. Random closing can happen sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances, but owner should be more responsible. Time and gas is precious, and business owners who disrespects customer's resources should not be rewarded!!! read more

I really wanted to like this place but it did not measure up. My husband wanted to go based on the high ratings on yelp. I saw Stephanie S review and she's quite accurate...should have avoided this place. The 5/5 rating is a bit surprising...many 1 reviewers though. The food was really just not good. Nobuya...more like nooooo boooooo yah. Japanese food are usually light and fresh but this is very fried and fatty. A lot of it does taste like frozen food. Maybe poor turn over so the food is not very fresh tasting. The fries were the only edible thing. It was nice and crunchy but I think it's quite hard to mess up fried potatoes. The karaage was kind of soggy with all the sauces and it wasn't quality chicken. For 5 pieces, it is a bit expensive. The pork katsu was full of sodium. More breading than there are of pork. I had two bites. I couldn't taste chicken in the chicken skewers...tasted cheap fried dough only. Overall not worth the price tag for horrible Japanese Mickey D's version. read more

Ahhh! This place is frustrating. Food is good but so many other things go wrong like ordering for delivery. The time I wanted to order tonkatsu ramen apparently it's sold out when I ordered as soon as he opened. Wow Nobu!!!! Wow!!! :( Edit (Dec. 30,2017): Came here at 8pm and were told to come back at 9pm because he was busy and it's a one man show and he had customers he's attending to already. We tried to go elsewhere but called at 9ish anyways to see if he can take us in but he stated he got busy again. He said he'll be open tomorrow and we should go then. What total b.s. Note to the owner, Nobu: It's a weekend, have someone help you run the restaurant so you don't lose business. PLEAAAASE! Either way, won't be back here for sure. Will rather go d.t. where there's lots more options and you don't get this kind of service. read more

The service was amazing and so was the food! :) worth the wait and worth the distance to get here.

This place is not at all what it seems. Hole in the wall kinda vibe, a bit hard to spot, and super low key in every way. Looks like it used to be an old diner. But it. Is. Great. It's effectively Japanese comfort food, and it's legit. We ordered like six things, and polished every plate. The ramen broth is amazing, the apps are yummy, and the Japanese poutine is super tasty too. They're also the nicest people. Don't expect anything to be fast (despite the "fast food" on the sign) but it is honestly worth the wait. It's a totally random addition to the neighborhood, but an amazing find :) read more

Need your fix of legit Japanese? This is the place. One man operation, original recipes, fresh ingredients. This is not a place simply run by Korean or Chinese folks. This place is seriously some good real Japanese food. Order the Tacoyaki, the Japanese poutine, Okonomiyaki (with the Yaki Soba), you know what? Get all of it. I've been to a few Japanese spots and this one has by far left the biggest impression on me. The guy is super friendly and is working to get his patio going. Booze will be here not until a while but for now, enjoy the fantastic food. 10/10 read more

I've held off going to this place for the longest time because I thought the name was going to reflect the food. The signage outside says "Japanese Fast Food Ya" so I expected cheap and not great food. Fortunately I trusted the Yelp reviews and noticed they are listed as a different name here which is sounds like they are switching over to and gave it a try. I ordered the Karage and Chips on my way home from a TFC game. Even though I had to walk home with the food it still was AWESOME when I got it home. The chicken was super tender and the fries were surprisingly some of the best fries around! Who knew! I am definitely going to be back to try some more of the food because it seems like the owner / chef really knows what he is doing and this is definitely a hidden gem for the area. read more

High quality, real food. I have great respect for Nobuya as the man is doing everything on his own while maintaining great customer service and, most importantly, phenomenal Japanese dishes. It is a small place with a bit of a personal feel. It is not a fast food place; so, be ready to wait a while to be seated or served. As is noted in a few spots throughout this gem, it is worth the wait! Side note, the parking lot is tiny. Carpool etc accordingly. read more

Truly is worth the wait. We tried to visit once before gave up due to the wait. This time, we called ahead of time to place a take away order. We were told 40 minutes and still had to wait another 15 after arriving. The Spicy Miso ramen was incredible. Tender pork, wonderful levels of flavour. The Haddock and Chips were as expected. A good fish and chip. Crispy batter, moist fish. Hit the spot. What stood out most were the takoyaki. Something new to me, and something that will have me coming back again and again! The wait time exists because so much flavour, so much passion, and so much care, is going into this cooking. Everything is done with meaning. So if you're hungry but not starving, this place will surprise you. A tiny shop with a flavour punch in every bite! read more

This is a quirky little gem in Etobicoke with a true craftsman as the "one man show." All the appetizers were great including takoyaki, karaage, and okonomiyaki. The ramen was very good as well. Chef is very upfront about the expected wait times, so this should not surprise anyone. After all, Nobuya is worth the wait. read more

This place has no service at all and the owner has mental problem!!! Not sure why it still open!!! We went on Friday night, there is just one table of guest inside. We sat down and asked for two cups of water and was told by the waiter/owner that they do not offer water and if we want, we have to buy bottle water. So we did not purchase any water as we thought this is ridiculous, in what world that resturant did not even offer water to the guest! We then orderred two ramenand when was taking order, he forced us to order appetizer which we don't really need it. We explained to him that we are not hungry and just want to order two ramen. He then spoke in broken English 'no hungry, next time' and he repeated couple times rudely. So we just left. Then when we are leaving, the waiter/owner happened to be out and he knocked at our window and asked why we take so long to leave. How weired he is! In general very unpleasant experience and the owner defintely has mental issue!! Do not suggest at all!!! read more

Very delicious foods and the owner is also very friendly. Recommend : Ramen and Okanomiyaki :) The owner said he would have Japanese curry soon :) read more

Nobuya - Japanese Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I was really surprised to see this place has such a high rating... I wasn't going to write a review for this place but I think I need chime in. My partner and I tried this place last summer and were seriously disappointed in both the quality of the food and the service. The owner was extreamly pushy and though I think he ment well he made both of us very uncomfortable. As we were parking he ran outside to try and convince us to come in, even though we fully intended to dine there already. While we were there he continued to run in and out of the building to solicite people in the street to come in. It was weird. The wait for the food was extreamly long - over 30 - 45 min for each dish, and we were the only people there. When the food did show up it was extreamly disappointing. Everything was excessively deep fried and the oil tasted very old. The okonomiyaki was pretty much soaked with oil and it was all you could taste. We haven't gone back since. read more

The design was like a French dish and chef really tried to have a great design. The taste was different with others food that I try until now . The customer service was great. All restaurant managed with just one gentleman , and this Japanese man was really respectful. The price was reasonable ( not expensive) , The only negative thing was the smell of restaurant. I didn't like this smell but maybe it's not a bad point because the smell was like another common Chinese or Japanese restaurant . I really like to come back to this restaurant again for trying another food in menu . read more

Fantastic place where you can enjoy authentic Japanese food! The one man show owner is great and he perfectly cooks for you! Excellent food and excellent person! Arigato gozimasu! read more

The food was great. We had takoyaki, gyoza, okonomiyaki & chicken karaage; all were very delicious. The best thing about it was nothing was at all greasy. I've had okonomiyaki before that felt like it was infused with oil, not the case here. It was light and delicious, balanced in flavour and seasoning. The karaage was incredibly crispy and lightly breaded. The takoyaki were especially good, other places I've been to they are so smothered in sauce you can hardly taste them. I will definitely make my way here again, my only complaint is that it's not in an optimal location. read more

service: super friendly Size : BIG Wait time: 15-20 min ( take out ) Taste : Good Price:$ One owner run the whole restaurant~~ can't complain... We should support small restaurant :) read more

It's not worth the wait. I really wanted to support this local business, but the service is just too poor.

This place is a hidden gem!! A small family owned business on Royal York, unfortunately not alot of people know about this place. First thing when you come in, the owner greets you with a smile on his face and seats you. The menu is small but demonstrates the chef's expertise. We had a party of 4 and we each ordered different things. The owner and chef Nobu, makes all the dishes as soon as you order. He will come by with a smile on his face and presents you his creation. He gives you a brief description of what is in his dish. As a Japanese person you can see he takes his job seriously and pride in his cooking. The authenticity definitely shows from how the food is presented and how it tastes. We ordered the Japanese poutine, udon with seaweed, soba noodles with karaage, pork katsu done and I got the ramen. Everything was great, right amount of flavor and had that authentic Japanese taste. The ramen's soup was a tad salty to my liking but the seaweed, pork, bamboo shoots and elasticity of noodles gave it an authentic Japanese taste. Owner was super friendly he would chat us up and made sure the food was OK. When he left he gave us a bar of hi chew candy. It was a great experience. If you're a fan of fast food or Japanese food do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Your wallet and stomach will thank you. TL;DR. Small place, friendly service. Great food for a good price. 5/5 must try!! read more

I'll balance my review based on food, service, and atmosphere. For someone who runs a restaurant, I'll give it to Nobu that he makes good food. There are not many Japanese places like his around the area. I've been here in total 5 times but it is no longer a top choice for me. Food: awesome. He nails each dish with Japanese flavour. Even for something simple like Karage it packs a punch. Simple clean options that can give you that happy feeling. Service: I don't care if he is a one man shop, for someone whose Japanese culture praises the idea of efficiency he fails. No information on where the food is. You have a huge margin of inconsistency for arrival of food. The pushiness is arrogant and to me yells desperation. It's very easy to make a simple appetizer dish that folks can nibble on while they wait. You cant expect to make people wait as long as he does. Maybe he's in a downward spiral and doesn't know how to get out. Who knows. Value comes from the experience. If Nobu just does something to offset the waiting with small snacks, then I think people would be willing to wait. But it's clear from the reviews this is a try it place without much commitment. If you are lucky enough to come when it's open, which I never know when it is, then absolutely try it out. But after that one round, I recommend you save your time and go to another place that actually puts as much effort into their hospitality as they do food because you sure won't get that here. read more

Scroll and read all the bad reviews for this place. They are all true. There is something terribly wrong with the owner/cook/server who happens to be all the same person. This one man show sounded like a crazy culinary experience at first. But truly, the owner is just psychotic. Would consistently asked if the food was okay. And when given a constructive criticism he becomes argumentive. To the point he is telling other customers that we are complaining about his food when it him who asked for our opinion, so we were honest. He would not give us take out boxes because we said his food was not good so why take it home. Anyways, long story short...don't come here please. read more

How do you rate a place that has EXCELLENT food but extremely slow service? The total time in and out the door for my partner and I was two hours. There's only one man taking orders and cooking. I literally watched a table of five get their meals at separate times...to the point that the first person who got their food already finished her meal and just sat there as the rest of her dining companions received their meals and ate. But, back to my partner and I. Two hours for two appetizers and two meals. Let's get to the food, shall we? We ordered the takoyaki and karaage - SO delicious. The takoyaki was the perfect amount of salty satisfaction. The karaage was so tasty with a perfect drizzle of spicy sauce on top. Both served piping hot and fresh. Onto our main meal, we both ordered the ramen. This was incredibly delicious. It was flavourful with just the right umami. It wasn't salty at all, which is typical of a few ramen joints in the downtown core. It was also served at the perfect temperature. Mere words can't describe how good this was. You have to go there and try it! The owner apologized for the slow service. He's such a nice guy and we really want his business to do well. As my partner and i drove home, our conversation consisted of finding a solution to speed up the service. But my partner and I couldn't come up with any viable solutions. So, fellow Yelpers, help us, help the owner find a solution to speed up service without affecting food quality. He deserves all of the success his delicious food can bring! read more

Japanese fast food ya!! I've lived in area for over a year now and finally scoped this place out. Had haddock fish and chips, karrage and dumplings. Everything was great, especially the fish. Tender and beautifully battered. Not too salty... same for dumplings and chicken. Will be back to try the Ramen. Expect to wait!! read more

I know why this place is well reviewed. Owner keeps on pressuring you to rate 5 star when the service was extremely slow and the food wasn't that great. We stopped by here for dinner on our way home when we saw the review. We waited for about 45 minutes to get our food. The food itself was just OK. Nothing special. Soba, takoyaki and okonomiyaki was bland. At the end of dinner,he kept on asking me to rate 5 when he found out I'm on yelp and offered discount if he sees a 5 star review. Turned me completely off. read more

Super tasty ramen. This place has been on my list for some time. Friendly and passionate owner. I'II definitely be back. read more

Nobuya - Japanese Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

PLEASE READ. Zero stars. The worst service I have had in any restaurant EVER. The food was not that bad, we ordered okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and 2 melon soda. What really pissed me off was the way we were treated and how the other customers were treated. The service throughout the meal was great, until it was time to pay. I was yelled at by the manager/chef for "not giving enough tip". The reason why I gave a low tip is because of how badly he treated other customers who came after us, yelling at them and whatnot. I work in customer service and that's not how you treat people, plus as a customer, that made me uncomfortable to even stay there. He started yelling at me and showed other people's reciepts on how much they tipped and that I should match that cuz he's a great guy and gave great service. I tried to explain why but he wouldn't listen and on top of that, pissed off my boyfriend too and they almost had to fight each other. We ended up walking out, he chased us outside and started yelling more saying how we "wasted his time". Well, I feel like I just wasted my money and the food just left a bad taste in my mouth. I have never seen such horrible customer service in a restaurant in my life. Never going back here and warning all my friends and family never to come here as well. read more

Do yourself a favour and avoid coming here. If you don't mind waiting over an hour and a half for your food and being upsold dishes, then sure, give this place a try. You will not be served water (because the owner wants you to order drinks while you wait an eternity for your food) and you might be harrassed to write a 5 star review. The owner comes off as friendly at first but he is very pushy and only cares about money. The food is not good, and definitely not worth the money. read more

I went to this place without reading any reviews, not really knowing what to expect or what they offered, we just wanted a place to eat that was on the way, so just found it on the map. we got it, options looked great, since I have not had good Japanese food in awhile (other than sushi and ramen). The last time I had Okonomiyaki, was in Osaka, and let me tell you, it was very very good at Nobuya. size was good and filling. I have tried the restaurants' and home made versions before so I was pleased to see it made on point. The Chef told us it would be a long wait, but was totally worth it. The Ramen was just amazingly good. Probably the best I had in North America. Chef is very friendly and gave us a little gift of uncooked ramen to take home. I am very much looking forward to go back very soon. read more

Very good food and amazing service. The only reason I am giving a four out of five is because it took a while to get the food. Having said that, It is a great restaurant and I wish the owner/operator all the success in the world. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

I honestly have no clue how this place has a four point rating. The wait times are ridiculous. It took them 1hr 25mins to bring out the appetizer we ordered. The mains...2 miso ramens are yet to make an appearance. It's been 1hour 45mins. Also the appetizer (chicken karage and chips) was very average. read more

THIS BY FAR IS THE WOSRT restaurant in Toronto and the WORST restaurant i've been to in my life. If I could give this 0/5 stars I would. I don't know how anyone can give this restaurant a 5 star rating on any review platform! I felt like a fool eating here! In what world does it take a restaurant to take 30-40 minutes to give you a menu and take your order!?!? I take SH*TS faster than that! Not only did that take 30-40 minutes the chef told us that the food will take long to be out and assuming that all our food will be out in that time....IT TOOK 2 HOURS to get a simple dish of karaage (fried chicken) that was not even crispy, I can cook an 8 hour turkey faster than this guy takes to fry 6 small pieces of chicken. After 2.5 hours elapsed and receiving 3 meals that should have taken minutes to make, I refused to wait any longer and decided to pay and cancel my last item (ramen). As soon as I decided to pay and leave, the so called "chef" said it will be done in 5 minutes. Even though he did, I did not know what would have happened and how long it would have taken if I decided to pay and leave. If your hungry DO NOT eat here, as a matter of fact NO ONE should eat here and NO ONE should be giving any good reviews. this place does not deserve to be called a restaurant but should instead be called a retirement home because by the time your food is out you'll be 6 feet under and most likely still be hungry. This place is so bad and very very very overhyped and now that I think of it, the "chef" is probably writing all these reviews because he probably has alot of time on his hands while cooking peoples food. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF and DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Excellent host, karaage, and udon. Out of the way a bit, but worth tracking down. We will be back!

To start, this review won't factor in wait time. Unlike a recent previous reviewer (who clearly must have read about the wait time before deciding to eat here) I won't base my rating on what I already knew to be an issue. The star rating here is based solely on the food. We popped in last night on the recommendation of friends, with the wait time caveat in mind. Only a couple tables with customers but some locals have clearly worked around the wait time by calling in and then picking up orders to go. One table actually left after 15 minutes, complaining about the wait time and being late for a kids practice or something. We ordered tea and takoyaki up front, then grabbed a table. After about 15 minutes we mentioned we would also be ordering ramen and soba. We spent quite a while chatting about how we would suggest ways to improve service times, and after about 25 minutes we got our tea. $2.50 for hot water in a dirty mug with a tea bag is a bit much. The takoyaki arrived about 10 minutes later. Beautiful presentation, and once the heat subsided, they were very tasty little morsels. Unfortunately we sat beside a large fridge/freezer which the owner/chef/server kept accessing to grab bags of pre-portioned noodles and other goodies. The unfortunate part was spying all the grocery store frozen appetizer selections within. After another 20 minutes, our mains arrived. The broth in the ramen was outstanding, best I've ever had. But the thick fatty piece of pork was ice cold, the fat unrendered and difficult to eat. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. My partner's soba was delicious. Fantastic buckwheat noodles and incredible broth. The tempura was tasty but placing it all directly in the broth resulted in soggy, floating pieces of batter. As we were finishing our soups, the owner brought a small plate with two complimentary spring rolls with some sauces decoratively laced across. Beware these spring rolls. They are nasty, grease-soaked, store bought, freezer burned and vile. These aren't included in the 4-star rating, as we didn't order them, nor are they on the menu (I hope!). We scrunched them up into our napkins and headed to the front counter to pay. A lot of potential here, but the super friendly and energetic owner needs some help. We really hope he finds it! read more
