    Im picky but i like

    Im picky but i like! Dont get too much sauce if u dont like spicy spicy! Will try again

    Meatball with tamarind vinaigrette
    Cisca W.

    So happy to find this place. It's a Asian fusion bowl kind of place. Ingredients are fresh and you can customize your bowl. What's even better is they are allergen conscious place. They have the allergen notations up on their menu board - gluten free/vegan/dairy free. For me who has gluten and dairy allergies/intolerances; I have to constantly manage what I eat. I don't have celiac so for all those my GF BFF's - please let the staff know if you have severe allergies. So from what they advised me, the following protein are gluten free: - chicken satay - steak satay - teriyaki meatball I will double check with the staff next time on the organic tofu - which part in the tofu that is not gluten free. I'd love to try their tofu if it's in fact gluten free. I had their meatball with the tamarind vinaigrette which is so delicious and fresh. I had it with half brown rice and half salad. Their brown rice is not the typical brown rice. It's more like purple-ish brown rice that you'd find in a korean restaurant which is delicious. The 2nd time I was there, they ran out of the meatball so I opted for the chicken satay and tried it with the curry sauce (which they said it's one of their most popular sauces). The curry sauce is not marked as dairy free but I tried it anyway. It's really savory and good and had a bit of kick of spice to it. I can't wait to go back again and hopefully they make more of those meatballs. :)

    The Chipotle and Cava of asian food! I wish they had this in OC. BYOB with asian flavors & healthy choices. Pick your base (rice, noodles, or greens) then sauces, the options for sauces are so good, I couldn't choose so I ordered more on the side (peanut sauce & fish sauce vinaigrette are my faves), then choose your proteins (chicken satay), & the garnishes where you can choose some or all (fresh mango slaw is a must!), then the toppings (crispy noodles). At the end, my creation came out pretty heavy & hefty and took me at least 2 meals to finish. Fast casual vibe with a small dining area. Reasonable pricing for what you get. Good service.

    I always like to come here when I get a craving for curry. Their curry is one of the best recipes I have tasted and wish they sold it to take home in a bottle. The service is always quick and easy and of course friendly. The ambiance is basically a lunch time type of place which is great because it's not crowded. I usually get the kale salad bowl with teriyaki meatballs, curry sauce, cucumbers, tomato salad, extra bean sprouts and topped with jalapeños.

    Service is good. They give a lot of food in 1 bowl. Overall, it is similar like the Asian version of Chipotle where you select what you want to put but a little better! More thai flavors

    We wanted to try something new in Burbank and this place popped up. I LOVE a good, healthy salad with many options to choose from. Your base is either rice or salad or both. Then your protein is either meat or tofu. I wanted tofu, but I hated how it looked. It was large slices swimming in a lot of sauce. GROSS. Ended up picking the chicken and it was good. I wanted ALL THE INGREDIENTS so my salad was quite big. I also wanted ALL THE TOPPINGS. If you ask for extra toppings, yes, there is an extra charge. My other complaint besides the ugly looking tofu is the dressing. You have many to choose from. I decided to pick the spiciest one and it was quite good. My complaint is I don't really like to have the dressing between my salad and protein because the dressing doesn't get mixed in with the other ingredients. I think they should put the dressing towards the end and mix it afterwards like the way Sweet Green does it. I guess another option would be to have the dressing on the side... but I really don't prefer it that way. Oh well, I still enjoyed my dinner and was totally full afterwards. Inexpensive and yummy dinner to go. There are plenty of places to sit if you choose to eat there. Customer service was good. Plenty of free parking in a shared lot.

    0.50 cent extra charge for a splash of vinegar lol

    Customer service is terrible. I walk in there is no body there. But yet when in ordering they RUSH ME. STOP RUSHING CUSTOMERS WHEN ORDERING SO You can put less in their order your cheap greedy unethical business practices. "What next, and then" lady relax you haven't picked up my bowl yet and I'm the only one there. The foods good but not worth $18!!!!

    Definitely an Asian chipotle!!! This place exceeded expectations, I came in not really expecting much but I was very happy with what I ordered. I got the half rice noodles and half lettuce, topped with the red curry sauce and satay glaze, along with the chicken satay and most of the other toppings. My bowl was filled HIGH. Yet, it felt like such a healthy meal and I left still feeling really satisfied. This works great as leftovers too!! The chicken satay was kinda mediocre, I would definitely try to get the tofu next time (tried my friend's - wasn't as firm as I thought and still nice and soft). Wish Tap had locations in the bay, but I'll be back the next time I'm in burbank!!

    Bowl with half rice noodles and half salad, with satay chicken and all the toppings.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch, ordered a bowl with half rice noodles and half salad, with satay chicken and all the toppings. There was no wait and plenty of seats to dine in. Parking in front of the restaurant is limited to 30 minutes.

My son didn't make a reservation because it was a Wednesday night and he didn't think it would be crowded. But with 5 adults and a baby carriage, we had to wait for the right table because the somewhat small restaurant was full. We soon got a good spot and ordered the shrimp ceviche and the pan fried dumplings for appetizers. The ceviche was served on a bed of crispy noodles and it was refreshing and satisfying. The dumplings were crispy, not greasy, and flavorful. For dinner, we got 2 orders of japchae and 3 orders of bibimbap. With 2 Korean-born children and having visited the country, those are among our family's favorite dishes. And they did not disappoint. The japchae noodles were just right. They were not too firm and not too soft and well-seasoned. With a mixture of veggies, meat, mushrooms, eggs, and that delectable sauce, the bibimbap tickled and satiated the tastebuds. I told the server there was a birthday at the table and she brought out an excellent creme brulee with a candle in it. My husband and I didn't pay the bill. But the prices were reasonable with most of the entrees costing less than $20 each. We have four more days in town and may very well make another visit to indulge in that scrumptious food.

Beef pho hit the spot, perfect temp broth to wilt the herbs and sprouts, savory flavor, and tasty meats. The taco was a surprising hit, beef was the same from the pho topped with pickled onions.

The restaurant has a charming fresh feel, nice decor and ample seating for groups. It was a little warm this summer afternoon but in all honesty it kinda added to the ambiance and reminded me a little of eating in Hanoi.

I even verified with the girl on the phone when placing the order i wanted jalapenos. The banh mi has no jalapenos, half the sandwich is daikon and carrots with a cucumber and the thinnest layer of overcooked beef on top. I ordered last month 2 banh mi and egg rolls. Banh mi had no jalapenos either, the egg rolls were missing lettuce wraps and the sauce was half the to go container. I've eaten here in person and received lettuce when eating in the restaurant, their yelp photos show lettuce wraps with the egg rolls. But every time i ordered egg rolls for takeout it is missing lettuce wraps. The one time i ordered and got the lettuce wraps with egg rolls, i had to explicitly tell them to add it that time. I thought this placed served the food as it should be in their culture? I've held back leaving a bad review of this place because i thought they would somehow improve or it was a one off mistake but this was the final straw. Consistently screwing up or intentionally holding back ingredients on takeout orders crazy. How much are you actually saving by with holding lettuce, sauce, and jalapenos??? This place used to be good, now it's just another above average spot. If you want banh mi, go somewhere else and be less disappointed.

I thought it was too sweet for me and it didn't taste like most Pad Thais I've had or come to expect, but it was still okay. Veggie Rolls - This is pretty much salad/lettuce in a spring roll, and the peanut sauce is what makes it delicious. Not very large or filling, but good if you want some side greens. If you have a peanut allergy, skip these because they're kinda boring without the sauce. Panang Curry with Filet Mignon and added Japanese Pumpkin - This was a good dish! The steak was cooked a little too well for my liking, but it was generous in portion and the sauce was really flavorful. I was glad I added the pumpkin. Filet Mignon Pho - Not my favorite pho ever, but I liked that they offered Thai and Vietnamese options. When I ordered online, I didn't see in the description that it included bean sprouts or basil and that I had to order them for $2 each. I like my pho with every dang thing, so I spent the extra $4. The items did already come with the pho, plus I got an extra bag that I didn't really need to order. The steak was thinly sliced and tender, I just wish there was more of it. Salmon Rolls - These are pretty heavy, the fresh salmon is fried on the outside and rare on the inside. They come with a few dipping sauces, including a spicy mustard that I liked. Thai Tea Caramel Creme - This is honestly the reason I order from here. I am a damn fiend for Thai Tea-flavored desserts, and I crave this one all the time. It has a rich, velvety texture and a strong Thai tea flavor. I have thought of stopping by just to order this, and I probably will. Our orders have always been ready on time, although I can't speak for any dining-in experience, and I think it's a little pricier than other Thai restaurants. The website is just a little wonky... I like that everything is customizable in just about every way, and there are pictures of most items, but the pho order wasn't clear about what it would come with, and some of the upcharges are higher than they should be. However, I will come back for that Thai tea dessert because I've fallen in love.
