    Birria Tacos
    Reeven S.

    I have heard of this place only because I really wanted to try the viral Ilocos Empanadas. Till this day, I have not tried their Ilocos Empanadas. They have been very busy and jam-packed with customers wanting the viral dish. I believe things have calmed down now, so I should be coming back soon for it. Despite not getting what I intended to order, I was still very curious with the rest of their menu. I ordered their birria fries and tacos and wow, it was delicious. Both were so flavorful. Tacos had the soft yet crunchy texture. Fries were loaded with toppings. I especially appreciated the amount of fresh red onions!

    Solid spot with really cool snacks. We both ordered the chicken fries which my husband loved but I just thought it was okay. I personally love some spice so when they didn't have that as an option to add on top it just didn't do it for me. BUT I loved the Dubai chocolate strawberries. And I do mean LOVED! Service was really solid too. I just wish they had some type of spice to add to as an option.

    Everyone's going crazy for those Ilocos Empanadas and they got me hooked too. Fortunately I work near the area so I was able to get my hands on some! When ya walk in, the layout is very simple with high counters that cover the kitchen so you can't really see what's going on. I would think it's chaotic with all the genius they're cooking behind there. Ordered and was quoted a 15-20 min wait which wasn't so bad since I was at least able to secure them. I heard around lunch time they sell out. So I was just blessed. Once I picked it up, I had a 40 min commute home and surprisingly they were still nice and crispy! I will say, they should include more vinegar cuz the small lil container they give ya just doesn't cut it for those suka lovers. Inside is ground pork, mung beans, a boiled egg and shredded green papaya. It was my first and won't be my last Ilocos Empanada. Now I'm on the search for the best!

    They got something for everyone in the fam yall! Family owned business.. come for the vibes and support this local business! The kitchen is poppin and it's like you're headed into your cousins house for the holidays type energy. We came on a Saturday night around 5pm and families were eating inside, take out orders were flying off the counter and the 90s music was doing its thing! What we tried: Spicy chicken sandwich we had the sauce on the side so the kids could also try Tocino burrito LUMPIANADAS *crew fave MULITAS * my fave CJ special * husband favorite Ube Horchata to wash everything down Dubai chocolate cup to top it off Seating area is cute and cozy, but if you wanna do take out and bring food to your crew, that works too!

    I have not order anything this in awhile. Last time I enjoyed the Spicy Chicken sandwich. This time I had order their Tocino Burrito for delivery. First it was pretty big and it was so good. Garlic rice, Tocino & Fried egg with a side vinegar sauce. Which paired well on the Burrito. I would buy this again. Maybe they will a Longanisa Burrito too.

    I've been going to Papi Clarys for quite some time for my birria fix, but when they started coming out with Ilocos Empanada, I had to get my hands on them! So crispy, so good, and so much flavor!

    Chicken Sandwich and fries
    Kathy C.

    Food looks great, taste is ok. I wanted to try their pork tocino burrito and chicken sandwich. I ordered and waited for about a half hour. They said that the chicken takes longer. So if you are in a hurry or lunch break, maybe order ahead. The restaurant is definetly more geared towards to go and doordash. The people taking orders and preparing food are nice enough. A few seats but the vibe is a bit cold. I wish the food had been better. The burrito was greasy,mostly rice and a tiny amount of guac and sourcream in it. Just wasn't for me. The fried sandwich was good, very little coleslaw. I did get fries and those were ok. All in all, maybe I need to go back and try the birria. They do have bbq night, which is cool.

    Side Fries
    Rudrasis C.

    Really good fries! Honestly amazing, the chicken fries are amazing too. One of the best fries I have ever had. They should just sell fries! The chicken fries come with guacamole and sour cream. Not a big fan of sour cream, so next time will remove the sour cream. Also they had a "spicy" sauce. It's really not spicy (I guess spicy for an average American taste bud). Overall, a must visit place. Will definitely try again.

    Ilocos Empanadas
    Aletta A.

    So I was finally in the area for work and have been wanting to try the recently infamous Iloco empanadas. The crunch and videos had been all over my SM feed. I ordered three. They are pretty huge so one was actually a meal for me. One for lunch, one for dinner, and one for a friend. I loved it. The crunch, the papaya/meat/egg filling, and the vinegar were perfection. I ate it like a hand pie. I wish I ordered extra vinegar.

    Huge Empanadas
    Patricia R.

    We came here to try their empanadas that went viral online. It's a small shop with very kind and helpful staff. We were told the line gets very long around 10am, but we went around 2pm there was no line. We got the pork longanisa empanadas and ube horchata - both taste absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to come back and try more.

    Not worth the wait of 2.5 hours. Employees weren't truthful that they actually ran out when we already placed an order
    Grace Face G.

    Arrived in line around 11:05-11:10 AM, told empanadas would be ready by 12 pm. Noticed some people ordering 2 to 3 trays and thought maybe it'd be fair to limit empanada orders? After a 2.5 hour wait, was disappointed to find out they'd run out and staff had to pick up more. Maybe limiting orders would ensure more people can get some? Also, getting a head start on empanada frying might help.... With DoorDash orders coming in, it seemed like more staff could've made the process smoother Overall the experience made me lose my appetite for the empanadas idk if I'll be back soon it was upsetting having to wait that long Huge difference between 12:00 PM and 1:20 PM If you knew the demand was high --idk why you wouldn't have put a limit on the empanadas? People are greedy and don't have consideration for others. Please do better. Terrible experience all around.

    Spicy Chicken Sliders
    Alan D.

    Today is my traditional door dash day I have with my co-worker and we decided to give this place a try. They had a special on their sliders, so that was what we opted for. Additionally, I also got a Horchata drink as well. Spicy Chicken Slider: I had the sauce on the side, which looked to be some sort of spicy mayo. The slider itself looked a bit smaller in person. For $4.50, you can get two sliders on DoorDash. It came with the sauce and coleslaw. It was overall just ok. The Cole slaw was a bit on the sweeter side and the chicken though, sadly was beyond dry. It was hard to swallow, and the spicy mayo couldn't save it. I also had burnt pieces around the edge, which didn't help keep the chicken moist. My suggestion to this is it needs something acidic, like pickle chip or two and honestly, that can salvage this dish. Horchata: This drink was pretty good. Not overly sweet, but I did taste a bit more cinnamon than I am accustomed to. Otherwise, it was not grainy, so I enjoyed my drink. Overall, the slider was ok and the drink was the best part. If only there were pickles with the sandwich, and it would be perfect

    Empanada
    Ashley Z.

    Tried the ilocos empanadas time which was massive and super crunchy. I have been to Papi Clary's a few times and get their Birria tacos. One thing I will say and everytime I go here, I noticed that there is a long wait time. Usually a 20-30mins wait after you order. Hoping this gets fixed in the future but all in all, this is a good spot for viral foodies cuz of the unique items on their menu.

    Hi, What are your hours for the holiday weekend, same as normal?

    Is this just a different concept with the same owners at the previous birria eatery that was in that location?

    So yesterday my brother and I finally tried the dinner menu at Fuji Sushi Buffet for the very first…read moretime. We'd always only gone for their lunch menu before, but we were really craving sushi and sashimi last night, so we thought Fuji would be the best place to go since we were starving!! We noticed that the dinner menu wasn't that much different from the lunch. Seems like only a handful of items are added, so we still made sure to try some of those dinner-only items. One was the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, and it was absolutely delicious! The whole thing was edible, so there was no need to de-shell the crab, and the tempura batter was nice and crispy. The crab also didn't taste fishy at all. I also liked that they served it with a tempura dipping sauce on the side because it helped refresh the dish and cut back on the greasiness a little bit. Another thing I was really super curious to try was the Smoked Salmon. I did order it, but I think the guy working at the sashimi section misheard me and ended up giving me regular salmon instead - boo! I wanted to go back and order more later, but by that point I was already really full, so I decided not to be greedy. Other than that, everything else was pretty much the same as the lunch offerings. In general, my brother and I really like this place. It's definitely our go-to spot when it comes to all you can eat sushi and sashimi. My brother and I love getting a huge plate of sashimi with a variety of fish like Salmon, Yellowtail, Mackerel, and even Unagi too. I also love how quick the service was, and they impose no limitation on how many times we can order or how many items we can get each round. We just feel really comfortable eating here. We'll definitely come back again in the near future!

    Honestly this is best ayce sushi I've been too and find myself coming back often! I love sushi and…read morehave been to a number of other ayce sushi places and tbh, none of them compare to Fuji when it comes to both price, quality, and consistency. For the price, it's very affordable as you pay a flat price and can order everything off the menu. There's no extra charge for sashimi either which I found that all other ayce sushi places do and even with the extra charge for sashimi at other places, their sashimi is often small and the quality is low or just poorly prepared. At Fuji, the sashimi is always consistent and they provide great cuts and variety of sashimi like salmon, eel, tuna, mackerel, and more. I love that it's already included as part of the price and there's no hidden or extra fees. The rolls taste great as well! You can easily grab the rolls from the shelf where they put the freshly made rolls or if you don't see the rolls you want, you can ask the sushi chefs to make them. Personally, I find it more worth it to ask the sushi chefs for sashimi, hand rolls, and the aburi (seared) salmon which is my personal favorite here lol. For the appetizers, you need to order with the waiters but luckily they're very quick and attentive! The fried oyster is really good. The space itself is pretty large and you'll either be seated at a table or at the bar but if you're able to choose, definitely go with the bar! The bar includes the rotating conveyor belt which often has salmon nigiri and other small dishes which makes it more convenient to sit there. This review has been long overdue tbh but I've been here enough times and the quality, consistency, variety, and price is what makes me keep coming back!
