First let me say though, I probably go here more than most because I live close by but I also have it DoorDashed. I (so far) have had the Singapore rice noodles (which actually do vary a lot, just at this store), the black pepper chicken, beef and broccoli, egg drop soup (probably gallons worth), the pink lady sushi, the spicy yellowtail sushi and some others I can't remember, the seaweed salad, eggs rolls and without looking at a menu is pretty much what I rotate through, consistently. My family has tried a lot more and we usually go together on the way home from the beach, when it's cold and rainy or just when the feeling hits. My husband only once has not liked his order, but has since before and after never had an issue. The service: they ALWAYS answer quickly, and take my order accurately. I've literally never gotten exactly what I asked for. The folks who answer the phone are direct and no BS. I loveeeee this. No angsty teenager rolling their eyes through the phone here! It looks like the location may have closed the majority of the seating areas down (perhaps it was open pre pandemic?). The store itself now only has a few tables, and you can dine-in. If you're on the go with a small family and want to stop in, this is super convenient, but don't bring a big group. There might be 15-20 chairs in total. As for the food itself, crispity, crunchity, creamy, sweet, salty...it has everything. It is all fresh tasting and perhaps even cooked to order (seemingly). They have to being doing MAD business because I've never even seen people at the other Chinese restaurants in the area (and to the two I've been in, I'll never go back), meanwhile there is always a line waiting to pick up their orders. The food here tastes exactly the way you imagine it in your head when you get the instant cravings! The sushi is incredible and extremely reasonably priced. Same for the meals. The portion sizes are huge. I can eat on one dinner for 3-4 sittings! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. (And always forget to take photos because I'm always too busy EATING!)

It was good but probably wouldn't order again. Overall, would go again to try some different items and the lady at the register (name wasn't on the receipt) was very nice!

I was happy that carrot cake and brownies were offered as desserts. They are packaged desserts. Two people shared each dessert although if you want a full brownie, but do one each. I asked for utensils and plates. They are small dessert size ones. The carry-out area is to the right at the bar. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Therefore, I got a single smashburger with a few fixins (ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions and cheese). It was just ok. The burger was super messy and toppings slid all over the place. I ate it because I was hungry, but I wouldn't order it again. The fries also weren't seasoned and they didn't give any salt or pepper to help with the bland taste. They don't have condiments for self serve so if you don't ask you don't get (I did ask for napkins and I'm glad I did because they put none in the bag). I also got 10 whole wings, 5 sweet chili and 5 hot Parmesan. The hot Parmesan was not really hot but it tasted good, and the sweet chili wings were even better. They really lifted the experience for me, because just on the strength of the burgers and fries I likely wouldn't have returned. But the wings are really good, and unlike most places they give you the option to get whole wings instead of the pieces (Wingdings). The service was also pleasant and friendly, save for their lack of offering napkins or condiments like salt and pepper.

I played it safe and went with the Uncle Bun Burger, two smash burger patties with lettuce, onion, pickles and cheese. The burger was huge and patties were flavored decently but weren't salty. I couldn't even finish. There were also several other smash burgers on the menu that included a variety of toppings like has browns, eggs, onions, ham, mac and cheese, mushrooms and of course bacon.

It was a good thing as there several people waiting inside already. I was able to go in, grab my order and get out. There is a table inside but it's pretty tight so I wouldn't recommend sitting in to eat. I got the Make Me Famous burger and the Gun Powder fries. The burger was a double patty smash burger and it tasted really good. The toppings were great, the caramelized onions and mushrooms stood out and bacon was crunchy enough. The fries were good with the seasoning and there was extra seasonings under the fries. I also got the Arnold Palmer which is a mix of ginger lemonade and cardamom sweet tea. It was an interesting flavor that I liked and was just satisfying enough with each sip to not drink it all at once. They open each day at 1pm. Kinda odd time to open. Wish it opened at a normal lunch time. Made me even more hungry waiting to go to eat. It's not cheap to eat but it is filling. $22 for burger fries and drink. It is a double burger at least. The extra $2.5 for spicy fries that only cost $1 more if ordered as a side by itself seems ridiculous. Plus it says $2 extra on the menu but you get charged more when you order. I'll just get regular next time. This place probably rivals a five guys but less fries. I definitely recommend it but perhaps as a treat.
