You can try pre-ordering a box a couple days in advance but it's typically hard to secure. If you want to go in person, be prepared to either get in the line by 8:30am or wait three hours. No in between!! update: obviously didn't listen to my previous advice. got there at 9 and got in at 10:30. well worth the wait though. but def get there between 8/8:15am. for minimal wait. passion fruit pastry was sooooo good. filling was incredible. strawberry vanilla bun was sooo good as well. like a strawberry shortcake flavor. rest were also really good.

It's more of a hole-in-the-wall pasta spot with very minimal seating. Although it wasn't what we imagined, the food definitely did not disappoint. Meat Lasagna: This dish was sooo delicious! It was cooked perfectly, the sauce was just right, and it had a generous amount of meat. I would definitely order this again. 10/10. Fettuccine Bolognese: This dish was also a star! You could tell the fettuccine was homemade and high quality. Overall, if you're looking for solid, affordable and authentic Italian pasta in the city, definitely check this place out!

They have both regular hamachi and also the hamachi toro! The toro is about $18 for 6 or 7 pieces. So much cheaper than what you can get at restaurants. I wanted to do a make your own hand roll night at home and got a variety of sashimi, a small container of ginger and wasabi for $1 each, and a small container of tobiko for $2! Everything came out to about $80 and enough to feed 3 people. They have plenty of rice bowls, sushi rolls, and you can even order catering from them. And since they are a mini market, you can get a variety of Japanese snacks, drinks and ramen! Service is fast and the lady at the cashier is very nice and efficient.

I also lovvved the fries with the yummy seasoning. Would definitely come back with friends! Although there was a line, it moves quickly and the staff were great. You place your order inside, and then wait outside until your name is called. There are a couple of benches just outside if you fancy sitting out. Will be coming back!

The Serb is was super friendly. Service was fast. The establishment is well kept. Restroom was very clean. Only thing I wish they had was a separate register for those buying grab and go items. Only because the lady behind me was on my neck and looking around me like that was going to speed things up. When pulling up, it's right after the smog shop. I missed it so I hope this helps you not pass it.

Last year I saw how insanely popular their Tokyo store was, so I finally tried this cafe for the first time because it was unusually empty as I was passing by. I had no idea what to order because the menu wasn't conspicuous to virginal visitors. Only later did I notice the drink menu on the left wall. The openly exposed desserts are what really caught my eye first. I decided to order the $6.75 Frozen Hot Chocolate because it frankly reminded me of the decadent monstrosities at the legendary Serendipity 3 in Manhattan's Midtown East (Photo 8). It was similar but not nearly as huge of pricy. I liked it a lot though with a generous dollop of whipped cream, it was more a mid-afternoon dessert. That should've been enough, but the confections on display were too inviting. Filled with 70% Takyikrom and Ghana chocolate ganache, the $8 Apple Donut was freckled with candied apple bits and tossed in spiced sugar (Photo 9). Delightfully decadent.
