I also got the sushi combo and they were very nice that they let me substitute tuna to more salmon because I personally don't like tuna. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so good even the water was very refreshing and did not taste weird. The server was very sweet and kind.

Lol took about half an hour for it to be safe for her to eat. Cute presentation but order some side stuff whole it cools.

It's time to update this review again. There have been some really great changes to what was once…read morethe original Token Ramen. There has also been a name change from Token to Miku Ramen. But don't let that fool you into thinking it's under different management. It's the same wonderful team that's always been there. I was happy to see that during my most recent visit. My favorite item here is the Black Garlic Ramen. Honestly, it's my favorite ramen in the area. This time, I decided to deviate. I went with the Mega Pork mainly because of the beautiful picture on the menu. This is such a meaty and tasty dish, although I did miss the black garlic oil. I'd totally get this again with the addition of black garlic. There's something about it that really brings out the seasoned flavors of the egg. The tonkotsu broth is always amazing with or without it. It warms my bones, and especially on a cold winter day. It's also nice that Kung Fu Tea is still the prominent brand here. It's always reliable with consistently good quality ingredients. Their seasonal Pumpkin Oolong Milk Tea is always a winner. So, what has changed? The menu now includes soft or crispy sushi tacos. They have 4 different kinds. I tried the crispy shell with smoked salmon. I LOVE it!! I almost ordered another one, but it would have been too much with the ramen. I can't wait to get it again. I really love that fried maki wrap. It's so light & crunchy. It really does add a good amount of texture to the sushi along with the cucumber. So, I almost got one of the 4 different udons on the menu. It was going to be a toss up between the Kimchi Shrimp and the Black Garlic. Again, it was the beautiful pictures on the menu that lured me in. Ah, but I went with the ramen instead. I will definitely try the udon next time. I was told that the Kimchi Shrimp is very popular. If that's not enough to tempt you, then you must check out the dessert menu. I saw items such as Matcha Cheesecake and Vanilla Crepe Cake that definitely caught my eye. I'm already thinking about my next lunch order. I love the rebranding and the new menu. The service is still great as well as the ambiance in the dining area. It's a place that will always keep me coming back for more. Update: Get the Kimchi Shrimp Udon. It's that Korean inspired udon dish that almost tastes Italian. Absolutely delicious! Freedom & Nevaeh were both so very helpful. Thanks to both!

I was in the area and was in the mood for some Thai food. Being half Thai myself, and having recently traveled to Chiang Mai, I thought I would check out this place with my friend. I ordered Pad See Ew with chicken, and my friend had Pad Thai with chicken. Both of our meals were delicious. Mine was a bit sweet, but certainly had more flavor than the majority of other Thai restaurants I've been to. Serving size was huge, and the spice level was just right. Service was great. The gentlemen serving us was super friendly and attentive. I spoke with the chef who was also really nice. The place was small and seemed well kept. If you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine without needing a place ticket, this will take you pretty darn close! read more

Mom wanted to try Thai food, so we hunted his place and it was easy to find. We were the only customers and Chef Kob sat us himself! A very nice man who makes every meal to order. The fried spring rolls were great as were the other apps we tried. Mom ordered medium heat and Chef Kob brought out a spice tray, in case she needed it! I ordered the middle heat offering, HOT, and it was delicious! I had Chicken Garlic and Black Pepper with white Jasmine rice. Mom had a noodle dish, we both had another helping to take home, the servings were huge. All around awesome service, food and price. read more

However, while Hurricane Helene was approaching, we lost power pretty early in the day, so ordered this place for delivery. The delivery time was listed as a very fast time, but it did take about 45 minutes to receive from order to delivery. I'll be completely honest, this was mediocre at best. My son ordered teriyaki beef skewers and plain lo mein. The lo mein was unseasoned. It tasted like plain boiled pasta. The teriyaki beef wasn't too bad; it tasted good but was completely dry. I got the Mongolian beef combo meal and my partner got the bourbon chicken combo meal. Both were very bland. The fried rice was basic at best. I bit into many hard peas. The egg rolls are absolutely terrible. They tasted frozen, they were barely warm, and they felt like they were pre-fried and sitting out. The common theme with everything we ordered was bland food made with cheap ingredients. We honestly couldn't finish any of this food with one exception: my son did finish the teriyaki beef. Realistically, I don't think we would ever order here or eat in this place just because all of the food was pretty tasteless, the quality was subpar, and I just frankly can't spend my money at places that are ok with serving substandard food.

I got the lunch special pepper steak with fried rice and a can of soda totaling $8.35 plus tax. Like I said they seasoned their food well but they rip you off when it comes to getting items like the meats that go with the dish. If a particular dish comes with vegetables rest assured you will be getting more vegetables than meat. I know I shouldn't expect a lot from a lunch special right? Here's the kicker I would expect to get a decent amount of pepper steak they're cut into strips anyway but this time I got literally four mini straps of paper steak and about a half ton of onions and a few pieces of bell peppers. This makes no sense. This should have been called sauted onions and peppers with a hint of pepper steak lol. I now realize this restaurant covers up by making the food tasty so you get distracted by the lack of either shrimp or beef that's missing. The chicken and pork dishes are fine because those are inexpensive kind of meat so they give healthy portions when it comes to that. Pictured is what I received however I did eat a piece of meat and this was what was left of the meat portion there are three small strips left in that plate when I took the photo.
