The restaurant is located in a strip mall with great signage. The inside is well spaced with plenty of table and an area where you can watch them make the dumplings. It was cool to watch our dumplings being made (I asked if I could take the pictures). There is an art to making noodles and dumplings and they know here. We ordered a chicken noodle soups, Sichuan Dan Dan noodles, soup dumpling. The Sichuan Dan Dan noodles were very spicy, but a real chili flavoring to the spice, not just heat. The noodles were fresh and not too soft. The chicken soup was excellent and when I added the chili oil, it was excellent! The soup dumplings were so delicious, not too think, filled well, and very tasty. This is a real gem of a place with authentic noodles and dumplings with excellent, friendly service. If we pass through again we will make it a point to stop in for a Tasty dinner! Thank you!!

It is not the biggest restaurant, and is popular, so I would recommend being prepared to wait during "popular busy time" but it is so worth the wait. So I also recommend waiting. The staff is always pretty friendly and accommodating. I shared an app, a roll and an order of salmon sashimi with a friend on both visits. The food is always fresh, and delicious! I never feel like I am being overcharged for what I get either. Going to eat for sushi can feel like that sometimes. The quality of the food is great and everything is always aesthetically pleasing as well. I had their avocado bomb on my last visit and I was delightfully surprised with it. I like avocado in most cases, but sometimes, it can be a lot at one. I thought this was going to be like that when I saw it, but I was wrong. I look forward to getting one of these on my next visit! On my last visit my friend and I saved room for a dessert, one that we saw rotating on their screens that they have in the restaurant showcasing some of the menu items. It was a take on a bananas foster. It looked delicious but alas, we'll see if we can manage to get it next time. Note to self, have dessert first on next visit?

And sometimes when there's limited choice here I'll make do with what is available. Fortunately this place is great. You can order a single broth or a split pot. I usually go with the taiwan spicyy broth and one of the others. It's always good, regardless of what ingredients you order they'll pile the plate high. They offer tons of condiments and ice cream for desert. I've also ordered this as delivery which I thought was impossible. But they make it work. You order your broth (single flavor uless you get two orders of broth). You also order your ingredients and whatevder sides you want. I usually get beef, pork and meatballs. Rather than cooking yourself they come cooked in a container with a little brother and you add them at your leisure. I usually get the spicy chicken nuggets as a side and they are delicious. It's a huge portion of food and I almost always have leftovers. Great place!

First the food. It was absolutely fabulous. The appetizers were perfectly crispy and the sauce was not overpowering - they let the chicken do the talking. The broth was spicy but a little oily tasting. I was sweating the whole time which was awesome! The veggies, meats and mushrooms all had great flavor. This place was obviously using fresh ingredients. I'm sharing a copy of my bill so you can see that they itemize for things like the sauce/ ice cream bar as well as the cc fee. I like when restaurants do this because it means that they don't make everyone pay for things if they don't want those things. It means that this restaurant is going the extra mile to provide a good value. We were impressed and we'll be back for more awesome food and excellent service!

Had to wait a bit, but not too long but long enough to make you wish they were faster. There are multiple places to order food here so there is plenty of seating.

Like most restaurants we like to visit, it is family owned with nice decor and enough space. The menu shows many Japanese and Thai options, all of them equally appetizing. The server was quite friendly, helping us choose the chicken Pad Thai (extra spicy) and the beef pineapple rice. The pad Thai was deliciously spicy on its own accord, but the Thai chiles gave it the extra kick the hubby was hoping for. An additional chile paste gave it a bit of smokiness. The pineapple rice was slightly sweet, as expected. What surprised me was that it had raisins! I do not like raisins but the dish was so good and the raisins were such a muted ingredient that I did not mind it. Overall, this was a very nice and satisfying first visit at Tomi Sushi, getting us interested in trying more items in their menu.

All stringy white cheese with yummy meat topping. So good...yum! Then the birria tacos. OMG! So freaking good. The tacos are served with consume, beans, and rice. And, yes, *dip* the tacos in the consume. It's so fabulously savory and delicious. I think these are the best tacos I've ever had. Ever. The consume is worth drinking. Yes, yes I sure did pick up the bowl and drink it after I'd finished my tacos. And the beans...they somehow taste just like what my mom made when I was a kid. The rice was also exceptional. Our server was John. We were there in the middle of the afternoon and service was quick. Apparently, they have taco specials on Tuesdays and all you can eat on Thursdays (sign says before 6pm). This place is going onto our frequent list for sure. So yummy.

I would describe it more like a Birria quesadilla with extra cheese on top, but it was pretty tasty! I liked the sauces on top, and the green salsa on the side was a great accompaniment. The consommé was a little bland, but there was enough going on with the pizza that I didn't really need the consommé. They have a Wednesday special that includes the Birria pizza and 2 agua frescas for a perfect meal for 2!

O M G ... If…read morecommitment issues were a place, it would be Sawmill Market. This is where you go when no one can agree on anything and somehow everyone wins. Pizza, pho, coffee, cocktails, ice cream, tacos , brewery, sweets , sushi , clay pot , European bakery , something vaguely healthy to balance it out, it is all here under one very aesthetic roof. Set inside a restored industrial space, the whole vibe leans effortlessly cool with open air seating, big windows, loud music and that buzzy energy of people grazing their way through dinner . You order from different vendors, regroup at a table, and pretend you planned it that way. It is chaotic in the besttttt way. Surprisingly we did not have long lines or long waits and found a table very quickly upstairs . The food? Hit or miss depending on where you land, but the variety is the real star. Come with a group, order too many things, and share everything. Just know you are paying a little extra for the ambiance and convenience, which feels very on brand for a place like this. Would I come back? Absolutely. It is not just a meal, it is an experience, and sometimes that is exactly what you want.One of the best food halls I've been to in a while.

It's got something like a dozen different food outlets to please everyone. There are a couple of bar setups, too, that looked like fun. We got tacos, and some Vietnamese dishes and enjoyed them a lot. The place has plenty of tables, an upstairs area, and a large screen tv to take in while you dine. ... we enjoyed the experience so much that we went back a second night, and got noodle dishes, poke bowls, and a salad bowl. (We took these to go and went up the sandia tram and ate at picnic tables overlooking the city) Everything we ate was really good, and reasonably priced. And there are very many vegetarian options, and at least a few vegan ones, too. People say parking can be a hassle, but we didn't experience that. But the lot is small for the space size, so I can see how it could be an issue.
