I was staying in a nearby hotel and drove by almost every day for a week and decided it was time to try it on my last night in Lancaster. When I got there at about 5:45pm there were just a few tables occupied and it was easy to immediately place an order (you can order at the counter, or on a kiosk). I placed an order for japchae noodles and then a 5pc of drumsticks. It ended up being way more food than I bargained for and so I took most of the japchae to-go. The wings were made-to-order and had the characteristic double fry and then were bathed in a yum yum sauce. It was very good and not overly spicy. The japchae was fine but didn't have quite the same star power that the fried chicken had. The noodles were soft and portion was large though which was good. By the time I left about 30 minutes later, the restaurant was packed and there was a line to order that was nearly out the door. I can understand why this is a popular place!

I've always passed Onions but never stopped in. They're a little diner spot on queen street that serves American breakfast with authentic Korean dishes for lunch. While the Japchae was pleasant, it didn't have as much flavor as Seoulmates did. I loved the free banchan that was included with the meal, though! The cucumber salad and fish cake were especially tasty. All of this was $17 + tip. Honestly was more than enough food for 2 meals for me, and I eat a decent amount. While my main wasn't the best, I do hope to try more of the menu and really enjoyed the banchan.

They were the go-to spot for unlimited seafood, sushi, hibachi, and just about everything else. Nowadays, it feels like more people are cooking at home to save money or opting for smaller, trendier restaurants. The staff here was attentive, and I appreciated that they spoke and understood English well. Unfortunately, our experience at checkout left a bad impression. One of the Chinese waitresses was unnecessarily rude and more focused on proving she was right than calmly explaining the situation, so minus one star. The food itself was pretty standard, with limited sashimi and hibachi options, so minus another star. I did enjoy the chocolate fountain, dessert bar, cake fridge, and soft-serve ice cream--they brought back nostalgic buffet memories. The restaurant was also very clean, which I always appreciate.

While the broth and noodles didn't necessarily stand out compared to some of the many ramen shops I've tried, everything was well prepared and the ingredients tasted fresh. I also ordered the chicken katsu curry, which was enjoyable--the curry sauce had a rich, comforting flavor and paired well with the crispy chicken Service was good overall. The staff checked in a couple of times, and the food came out quickly after ordering. They could have been a bit more attentive throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience The restaurant has a classic ramen bar setup with a clean, inviting atmosphere. I also loved the décor, especially the giant Pikachu statue, which adds a fun touch to the space Overall, it's a great neighborhood spot to satisfy a ramen craving. If you're nearby and looking for a casual, reliable dinner, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The server was very friendly and kind, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Although she did…read morecheck-in with us regarding our appetizer, she was too preoccupied to check-in regarding our entree, due to her being the only staff in the dining area catering to 4 different tables; understandable but didn't leave us the opportunity to address our issues with the entree (which will be highlighted below) until we paid for our bill and came across someone else by happenstance. The aesthetics were elegant and on the dimmer side, especially if you're seating at the corner tables away from the light, we recommend sitting closer to the light or by the entrance if there's still light out. We really loved the crab croquettes appetizer, which had a perfectly crispy exterior that complimented perfectly with the moist interior mixture of potato and crab that paired very well with the aioli. The crispy potato that accompanied the NY strip was perfectly balanced as well, with the crispiest exterior that I ever had with a potato dish! Unfortunately that was the highlight to the entire dish, for the strip was extremely lean without any fat or marbling to help balance out the leanness of the steak (which is evident in the attached photos below). Usually a NY strip, even if grass fed, would still have a strip of fat on the outer layer, but ours did not have any at all, which you can see from all slices we've made. We weren't hoping for ribeye-quality fats at all, but just one that wasn't completely lean. The creamed spinach was also quite bitter and watery, which definitely diluted its creaminess unfortunately; you can see from the photo the wateriness in the creamed spinach where the cream began separating. We love their menu and the restaurant's elegant vibe, as well as how beautifully the food was presented, but unfortunately we were left disappointed by our main entree. I highly recommend their crab croquettes so please give that a try if you can, I promise you won't regret it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint.

The sweet and sour chicken was served up warm and deconstructed which we liked because you can put the sauce on as heavy as you want. They gave us a generous portion size. I would definitely return if I was in town again.
