We started with an order of hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. The hush puppies were delicious, and the cinnamon sauce it came with was the star of the show. We weren't huge on the fried green tomatoes; I think it needed a little more seasoning. My friend got the Alabama chicken sandwich and enjoyed it. I got the pulled pork plate with salt potatoes and mac and cheese. I thought the pork was good, but the sides were great! I liked that the sauces were on the table so I could sample several of them (I ended up liking the Texas sauce best). We ended the night saying we'd love to come back on a night with live music!

The roast beef sandwich was the better of the two, I've had $15 sandwiches that's not as good , it's on a small burger bun with over an inch of meat and sauce , also a mess , but that's why it's $5 !

I ordered the garlic rice and wings (bourbon sauce), mac and cheese, and fried green tomatoes. I was excited because I had read good things on this very site. However, I was a bit disappointed. The star of the meal was the garlic rice which was admittedly delicious- would certainly get this again. The wings were also okay. I would go with a different sauce next time, and for anyone wondering they are breaded wings. The mac and cheese was not good. Incredibly bland and not warm. Would not recommend. The fried green tomatoes weren't very crispy by the time I got them home and ate them, which is surprising because they ripped vent holes in the styrofoam container to combat this. Not inedible, just not very good. Overall was pretty disappointed with my experience, definitely willing to go back though, so hopefully it changes!

Not the best food ever, but rating this place off the variety of options and the fact that everything was still decent.

Karma Asian Fusion was a bit of a mixed experience for us…read more First, the positives: the restaurant smelled fantastic when we walked in, which always builds your expectations right away. The portion sizes are very generous, the takeout service was quick, and everything was packaged well, which is always appreciated when bringing food home. The challenge for us came with the flavor and texture of the food. Because this is clearly fusion cuisine, it's understandable that the dishes won't taste exactly like traditional versions, even if they share the same names. That said, many of the dishes we ordered were very vinegar-forward, which ended up overpowering most of the other flavors. The egg rolls had a great crisp, but unfortunately they were extremely oily, to the point that biting into one resulted in a mouthful of oil. The noodles were interesting but arrived as one solid clump stuck together, and overall the dish felt quite bland despite the strong vinegar notes. Both myself and my dining companion experienced stomach discomfort fairly quickly, likely from the grease level. While the portion sizes were impressive, we both agreed there was no chance we would be eating the leftovers. Our roommate also tried some of the chicken and ended up spitting it out because of the strong sour/vinegar flavor. One suggestion I would make is considering different naming for some dishes. When menu items use traditional names, diners often expect something closer to the classic flavor profile. With fusion cooking, setting expectations differently might help avoid that mismatch. Another small suggestion would be offering a choice of noodles, as that could add some flexibility to the dishes. Overall, Karma Asian Fusion does a few things well -- generous portions, quick service, and good takeout packaging -- but the flavor balance and oil level just didn't work for us personally.

Located in the Salt City Market. It's very rare that I can find a full meal at a stall in a food…read moremarket for my child with multiple, food allergies. I saw that Miss Prissy's offers a half roasted chicken so I inquired about it (I believe it was called grannie's plate). The lady working at the counter was so kind and patient. She read over my daughter's allergy card thoroughly and knew what was in the dishes. Grannie's plate came with two sides. I was surprised that the candied yams and green beans didn't contain dairy or ham (there's turkey in the green beans). Chicken was juicy and just fell off the bone. Candied yams and green beans were well seasoned, like a big hug in food form. It was also a ton of food for the price. I did see several things were sold out. We came at 1 pm on a Sunday so I'd imagine you'd want to come sooner to avoid sold out food.

So far I have yet to go to Salt City Market and not have a great meal. I've still only scratched…read morethe surface, but we finally got a chance to go try another one. Based on the reviews, it looks like their menu must change often. We pretty much cleared the whole thing with our order, and I'd be excited to reroll on the next one. We got the haddock meal, the rosemary chicken meal, and an order of the wings, along with all the sides included. Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Yams. I thought the meal sounded pretty plain when I looked over the order, but we were just excited to eat a well-cooked meal we didn't have to make ourselves. The rosemary chicken ended up being my favorite part. So melt in your mouth tender, while the skin was snappy and crisp. The haddock was pretty much standard issue, same breading and texture you'd expect from a fish fry anywhere you go. We got three squeeze packets of tartar sauce we weren't expecting to like, but it was fine. The fish wasn't really a memorable part of the meal, but always a welcome addition. The wings were golden brown, the exact texture you want in great quality breaded wings. They were very flavorful, with a sweet and tangy sauce. The sauce is buttery, which helps it carry the flavor, but also turns into sludge if it gets cold. I wish they came with a dipping sauce - I think even a good ranch would have brought them home. I'm doing my best not to just say "melt in your mouth" a thousand times in this review, but it came up a lot while we ate this meal. The chicken, the mac and cheese, the freaking yams. My first impression of the mac and cheese was that pasta should never be this soft, especially in something that is baked. Then I tried it, and it's perfect. Super soft while retaining the pasta texture, but with a blast of creamy cheese in every bite. The yams -- again, my language is falling short so I'm just going to say it. The yams melt straight in your mouth in the best way possible. I hope they are always on the menu. These are kind of express restaurants at Salt City, so I get why their menu is so small. Going through the photos and reviews online make me sad I didn't come here sooner, but also excited to return later and see what else they have. With the quality of this meal, I have very high expectations for whatever they do next.
