Best Philly Roll I have ever had, perfectly fresh and delicious! Goons were ok, could have used a…read morelittle more seasoning in the mix and a thinner wonton wrapper. Still crushed them!

Looking for food in VT at 8:30pm on a Friday night in April shouldn't be difficult. But alas,…read moretonight it was very difficult. Saw this little gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It was 9pm and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The staff were courteous and attentive and our waitress was very sweet. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and it was delicious. The sesame chicken was beautifully plated, complete with an edible orchid. The kung pao chicken and pepper steak came as you would expect so my husband and I teased the waitress about why we didn't get special plates with edible flowers. She was cute. The food was delicious and the portions just the right size. My husband asked for his king pao extra spicy and it definitely was not- but it's ok cause then we didn't mind sharing with him. I had the pepper steak and it was tender and flavorful. Everything was really good. If we lived nearby, we'd make it our go-to Panasian spot!

The place does look like it could use a fresh coat of paint and the windows need cleaning, but the service is great, the food is ready quickly and the location is fantastic.

The booth seating was a little uncomfortable because the backrest is so straight but service was quick and we got our food pretty quickly. My husband loved his chicken tempura and wanted more. The restaurant is in down town Brattleboro. Down the street from the parking garage. I would try this place again.

Based on the yelp reviews, I'd say quality of food and service is spotty here. I don't want to…read morerecommend this place and have someone following my recommendation have a bad experience, as it seems a lot of people do. Heh...and it seems I finished my meal and got up and left before I finished my review. I had vegetable yaki udon (which my phone heard as "vegetable yucky udon" ) and edamame. I enjoyed both. It was not an "Oh my dog!" swooning experience, but it was good. The woman who seated and served me initially did indeed disappear entirely about halfway through my meal; happily, a gentleman in a flannel shirt and down vest took over for her, coming over to ask if everything was alright and, upon my request, to refill my drink. The woman, I believe, has a reputation for not doing those things, but I was taken care of despite her negligence. (This is also the woman who insists that the customer sign the credit card receipt produced after they use tap-to-pay with their phone...one of the whole reasons for the existence of which mechanism is that it's touchless...meaning that you don't have to touch your credit card, you don't have to touch the credit card reader, and you don't have to touch a pen, because, as it says right at the bottom of the receipt in bold capital letters, "NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED". But this woman will not allow the customer to attempt to cloud the issue with facts, insisting instead that the very reason you must sign the receipt is that you used tap-to-pay with your phone. Okay. Whatever.) Anywho...I had a nice meal. And I was surprised to hear what sounded, to my distorted hearing, like 90's shoegaze playing over the sound system. (I think I have the genre right there - it was reminiscent of Cocteau Twins and that sort of thing. And I'm sure I heard Morrissey in there too. Unexpected almost anywhere these days, and definitely so, and kind fun, in an Asian restaurant.)

I would highly recommend if you're looking for a fun experience. All that said, it was noisy in there so its not recommended for intimate conversation. Extras-the seats were comfortable even for a larger size guest. The bathroom was adequate,clean but nothing special. Portion sizes were large,most everyone left with leftovers. The vibe is upbeat and lively during peak dining hours.

I really enjoyed the half soft-boiled egg in the shio ramen as well as the enormous quantity of noodles, but there wasn't a ton of flavor in the dish. The chicken hibachi had great sauce and decent noodles, but the meat was dry and felt overcooked. The caterpillar roll surprised me since it was tuna-based, rather than the eel that is typical for that name. None of the dishes stood out as exceptional. The service was quite interesting. I did appreciate the water service - the server came around early on yo offer refills. Then about midway through the meal, she asked if we wanted leftovers boxed up. I wasn't too hungry so I was fine with take home the leftovers, although the timing felt a bit early to me. I couldn't tell if that was because it was just after 8 PM and they were trying to close up soon (advertised closing time of 8:30 PM), but there were still plenty of other tables with diners. The bill came with a mandatory 18% tip for our group of 5.

We were a party of three that ate a combo of appetizers (good: gyoza, coconut shrimp, and crab rangoon), and sushi (decent) and udon (good). A complicated roll, their *monster*, arrived about ten minutes behind the rest of the entrees. It was fresh, served well, and tasted good. Kobe won't win prizes for art, presentation values, or other extras, but our food was good and the service was fine. Although we didn't have any, we surmise that they also sell a lot of wine, beer, and liquor. There's a large parking lot and it's handicap-accessible. Good food, reasonable prices (the area is expensive), and we found it an overall good value. Nothing bad, nothing really memorable except the hundreds of photos of parties held their. We assess that they like a crowd. Who doesn't?

This made me excited because a nys steak is exactly what i fancied this evening. I ordered it as one should (medium rare) bit what i got was a heaping mess of veggies and over cooked cubes of what might as well been some chuck roast. This place is dog shit. My girlfriend and i also ordered some sushi which i thought would at least improve my evening, however for some reason they choose to grind up whatever fish is inside the rolls into some effed up mess that tastes like cat food. I am very disappointed but as a good restaurant patron did not say anything because i guess what i ordered is the dog shit they make here. Plz do not come here if you expect to eat a good steak or sushi.
