    Crispy Intestine with Dried Pepper
    Sallie W.

    Pretty good Chinese takeout. Had a 30 minute drive after picking it up and the food was still piping hot! Surprised to find the crispy pork intestines here, it was pretty tasty and crispy still by the time we ate it. It could use less peppers and more intestines though. It's kind of wasteful that all the peppers in there are thrown away. The lo mein was a bit too mushy and a bit bland but still pretty good. The broccoli w fried tofu had more tofu than broccoli even though the title suggests this is mainly a broccoli dish. I would've been more satisfied if the tofu tasted better. But it had a sour taste. Not sure if that's how the tofu is supposed to taste or if it's gone bad... The dry pot was not dry. Dry pots are supposed to be a dry version of hotpot but this was wet. The flavoring was nice though. The pepper pork was okay. Overall, the food was enjoyable and portions were generous.

    Our friend told me about an authentic Chinese restaurant in Harrisonburg VA some time ago. but I had my doubts until today. I knew it was a real Chinese restaurant as soon as I saw the menu. Traditional Sichuan cuisine dishes were listed. The service was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was casual, and the prices were reasonable. The food was excellent. We ordered: 4.5*Cucumber in Chili Sauce 凉拌黄瓜: excellent sauce! 4.2*Hot N Numbing Comb麻辣香锅:lots of beef tripes and lotus 4*Spicy Sour Cabbage 酸辣大白菜: big portion and not that spicy. 3.5*Pork w. Dried Tofu 辣椒香干肉丝:dry and not too spicy. 4*Braised Fish w. Tofu 豆腐斑腩煲: a good combo dish with fish fillets, veggies and pork. 3*Broccoli w/ Fried Tofu 芥蓝豆腐:simple but healthy.

    We happened upon this place after leaving Costco where we fueled up for our drive back to Georgia. It was almost closing time and the place was almost empty. We ordered some egg drop soup, General Cho's chicken and some tofu vegetables. All were hot, fresh and flavorful. Service was outstanding . . . as we were the only folks dining in the place. IMHO this was average Chinese food because we're spoiled with better in Georgia.

    F02. Dry Pot Style chicken, N02. Lo Mein

    Hostess was very welcoming. Server was well informed and helpful. Food was amazing. Seriously delicious We got Hot Pot style chicken which was the family favorite. Lo Mein and Pepper Pork were also very tasty. Started with won ton and hot and sour soups. Liked it all.

    Dining here felt like visiting old family friends. Not only was the food amazing but were were treated like special guests of the family. The sushi here is made to order and everything is fresh. You are able to customize rolls according to your taste. There are LOTS of menu item to choose from. Hot dishes, noodles, rice, and of course sushi. My favorite item on the menu thus far is the sushi rolls made with cucumber strips instead of nori and rice. Such a fun dining experience. There is ample parking because the OC aid located in a strip mall. Don't forget to ask for a hug when leaving. Our server was the sweetest little grandma. We will certainly be back maybe even just to say hello. Happy Eating Yeeps!!!

    Fresh and flavorful!

    Fresh flavors that you won't find anywhere else for miles around! Enjoy an endless variety of dishes for dine in or takeout that you can enjoy for weeks and weeks without ever repeating a meal! Best of all, the caring, friendly service makes everything taste better! Oriental café is fun for groups to share family-style, but nice enough for a date night (with plenty of leftovers!)

    Kani Su - crab, avocado, and cucumber with a sweet sauce
    Jessica F.

    It doesn't look like much inside or outside, but the food is really great. It was recommended to us by a local who said the extra menu page had the best authentic stuff on it. We were given a bowl of crispy fried wontons with dipping sauce that was really tasty. He got a huge dish of lamb and peppers. He loved it, but it did not love him the next day - he's not used to so much spice! He also didn't realize it would serve 4 people! So he had tons of leftovers. You are supposed to get 2 or 3 dishes and share them with your table. I started with crispy skin shrimp rolls. The sauce really put those over the edge of goodness. I also got a sushi roll: Philadelphia roll and Kani Su- both were very fresh and well prepared. The Kani Su should have been shared with a table as well. It was snow crab and avocado rolled up in cucumber with a very sticky sweet sauce. I was too full to get the bubble tea I really wanted to take to go. The staff were all very sweet and had impeccable manners. I liked saying hi to the turtles in the lobby!

    This is an extremely college-town place, where I was basically the only one among diners or staff…read morewho appeared not to be an undergrad. I came with a particular need to get something that was both flavorful but not overly traumatizing for an ailing stomach. A miso ramen fit the bill nicely. While Japanese, the menu is vegetarian-friendly and offers ample customization. My ramen was tasty, but I did feel a bit shorted by getting only one marinated tofu sheet to finish off at the end. I needed some sushi to feel full, and fortunately, their inari with a seaweed salad filling were delicious, arguably more so than the ramen. A tea from their boba menu delivered some nice chia seeds and strong flavor, albeit with an aftertaste. I wouldn't say that my bar for ramen was reset, but as a regular driver along I-81, I felt good about having made this stop and wouldn't mind repeating it.

I guess I should've known better, but the make your own drink was mediocre because the guava option was based off a not-so-yummy juice. So next I ordered a drink off their menu and it was just alright. Honestly, I'd just skip out on drinks next time, but it was New Year's Eve so.. I did try to ask our server for drink reccs but she was 20.. So, we really enjoyed our ramens. Even the veggie ramen that I ordered, with a clear broth, was quite tasty - I've had clear broth options that were less flavorful. We also ordered a few additional appetizers. We shared some bao buns which were excellent, my partner ordered some meat skewers and I ordered a salmon nori taco. All in all, a great little shop. We considered coming back later on our trip but decided to explore elsewhere.

The first thing I noticed was the parking lot was small and packed full of cars. Inside it was much larger than it appeared. A nice hostess greeted us at the door and took us to our seats. We were seated with two other small groups. The waiter came out and took drink orders. I chose a Kirin Ichban Japanese beer along with some Gyoza as an appetizer. It came out quickly. Then we ordered our Hibachi meals. I had the chicken and shrimp. Mt daughter got the same. The meals came with miso soup and a salad. The main reason my daughter wanted to come was for the show. The chef clocked all of the vegetables, fried the rice, and cooked the meats with flair. A very entertaining atmosphere that added to the meal. The food was delicious as well. My chicken was cooked properly without being dried out or undercooked. It was a great dining experience.

I went into this unique place called Beyond Restaurant and Lounge which offers a variety of cuisines from multiple cultures. I ordered 5 items: 1) Chicken Lettuce Wraps 2) Pork Bánh Mi 3) Pork Dumplings 4) Pineapple Fried Wontons 5) Summer Rolls. The pork fried dumplings were crispy, compact filling and they delicious. I was a little surprised with the chicken lettuce wraps when it arrive to the table. The minced ground chicken mixture with herbs was tasty which were served with fried rice noodles but unfortunately the iceberg lettuce didn't allow you to complete the wrap. You were only able to make 4 actual wraps and after that you just have to eat the items individually. I wish it was served with butter lettuce or something that can better cup the mixture. The summer rolls were good and generous portion filled with shrimp, pork, vermicelli, herbs and a peanut sauce. The fried wontons were stuffed with cream cheese, pineapple, garnished with diced pineapple, bell peppers served with a pineapple relish. It was different from your typical cream cheese, it was good. The highlight of this trip was their pork banh mi. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outer layer and inside was soft, fluffy filled with tender pork, pickled carrots and daikon; cilantro, mayo spread and served with fresh sliced jalapeños. After the first bite, I wasn't able to just take one bite. It was amazingly delicious. The restaurant is clean, filled with beautiful decor, has a bar, offers interior and exterior seatings, and all staff are friendly. Our server was Kim and she is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Since it's a 2.5 hour drive, it was definitely worth it. I would make another visit and try other items on their menu.

Paige went above and beyond and the Sweet & Sour Scallops are an absolute must-try, especially with a side of chili oil. Highly recommend for a delicious dining experience. Ambiance: 5/5 The atmosphere was perfect: open, inviting, and not crowded, which made the whole experience feel calm and comfortable. The layout is thoughtfully designed with beautiful art, plenty of space to move around, and a great balance of bar seating and tables. It felt modern and elevated without being pretentious, a.k.a the kind of space where you can actually enjoy your dining experience and conversation. Service: 5/5 Paige was absolutely phenomenal. Attentive without hovering, warm without being overbearing, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure we had everything we needed at all times and offered thoughtful recommendations that truly enhanced the meal. Her hospitality elevated the dining experience and set the standard for what excellent service looks like. Food: 5/5 AMAZING. Truly. I was torn between two scallop dishes, and thanks to Paige's recommendation, I went with the Sweet & Sour Scallops, and now I completely understand why they're a guest favorite. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the flavors balanced beautifully, and adding chili oil on the side took it to a whole new level. If you love seafood, do yourself a favor and order this dish... you will not be disappointed. Overall, I'll absolutely be returning, and even though it'll be hard given how good my meal was, next time, I'll be exploring even more of the menu.
