We met for lunch and were seated upstairs, funnily enough the same place we sat the first time. Service was very good and fast. There were plenty of tables full on a Friday lunchtime, but it was a holiday weekend. We ordered sandos all around. My egg salad one was excellent with the soft bread and creamy mayo. I had regular fries and they were good. Our Japanese pumpkin and potato croquettes were wonderful and crunchy and addictive. My friend felt all the nostalgic feels about her chicken katsu sando and enjoyed her loaded fries. BF also enjoyed his pork sando. We have ordered carry-outs repeatedly from here and it will be in our regular rotation.

The curry was everything you'd expect and the katsu cutlet was nice and crispy. The ambiance was casual and clean with about 8 tables, a small out door patio, and 4 bar seats.

The place itself was clean, well-lit, and had extra seating for people waiting on orders. I got the Pad Thai with beef and ordered it "hot." The flavor was really good, but the heat level was a bit more intense than I'm used to. Next time I'd probably go mild. The crispy spring rolls and crab rangoon were both great, especially with the sauces. I also had the black pepper shrimp with jasmine rice, and that was delicious. Overall, solid experience. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area.

I've been there several times a year for the past few years, but not enough to be a regular. I am always treated well as a walk in customer. This is a great restaurant.

We ordered the gyoza, miso soup, calamari, short rib, crab fried rice, room service pad Thai and a few hand rolls. My wife and I also had the Phuket #3 cocktail. First off, service was friendly and amazingly fast. Drinks came out literally a minute after we ordered. The food started coming out shortly after. The gyoza was pan fried and came out upside down with a giant pancake connecting them. Cute presentation and solid gyoza. The next was the calamari. This was probably our favorite dish overall. Huge portion for an appetizer. The calamari was lightly breaded with togarishi and a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Amazingly tender. I got the the scallop, 50/50 and salmon handrolls. My wife doesn't like raw fish and even she thought the handrolls were good. The scallop was awesome. Super sweet with a dash of chili oil. The short rib was our second favorite. Super tender and had deep, rich flavors. Shredding the beef and pouring some of the broth over white rice made a perfect bite. The seafood fried rice was also spectacular. Huge chunks of calamari, shrimp, crab. The pad Thai was only ok. It was too peanutty for me, but my wife and kids also were generally meh about it too. The Phuket #3 was also great. I ordered it first and my wife liked it so much (after drinking most of mine) ordered another. We recently went to a Michelin starred Thai restaurant in SF and while we also really liked it, we all liked Room Service even more. And for about half the price. We'll definitely be back.

The food and service has always been good. Today, we ordered Chilaquiles with Carnitas added in a verde salsa, Corned Beef Hash, and sides of hashbrowns and 2 pancakes (instead of toast). The Chilaquiles were very good and the over easy eggs were perfect. The carnitas were tender and nicely seasoned. The housemade corned beef cubes were tender and the diced pan fried potatoes had a nice latin seasoning blend. I just wish the hash had diced bell peppers and onions. I also wish the poached eggs I asked for with the corned beef hash were cooked properly. I was expecting the type of poached eggs that are like small balloons waiting to be popped so the egg yolk oozes out over the corned beef hash. These poached eggs were over-cooked and looked un-appetizing, but tasted fine. The hashbrowns were perfect - crispy and tender and properly seasoned! The side of pancakes were fluffy and absorbed the syrup quickly. Overall a good visit. The food was mostly on point, except for the disappointing poached eggs and lack of onions and bell peppers often found in a hash. If I go back, I'll stay away from their benedicts (since poached eggs are not executed correctly, and corned beef hash, and instead stick with the Chilaquiles.

Most of the food options are vegetarian. I had the house seasonal sangria, which was tequila based with tajin on the rim (YUM!). We ordered all four $1 and $3 apps, which came out quickly in 3 rounds. My favorite were: Pan con Tomate (4 pieces) - very fresh tomatoes! Hot Honey Tosta (2 pieces) - the bread is sooo good, and the ricotta/honey/chili flake topping is superb Empanadillas (2 pieces) - not a huge carrot fan but these were amazing, so much flavor! Cauliflower Tosta (2 pieces) - again, the bread is fantastic!! Everything we ordered was enough for 3 people. You do need to enter on the north side of the building, and it is really quite fancy. We all felt underdressed. The happy hour is offered upstairs, where the bar and patio are located, and most people were dressed "business casual." Service was fantastic as well. They do add an 18% service charge" on the bill, which no one was really sure how to handle as there is also a tip line. I felt as though I double tipped on drinks ($27 drinks + $18% service charge + $5 tip)... I guess I need to look up how this is supposed to work here in the US prior to my next visit. I will most certainly return as the food was AMAZING!!

Though the exterior still boasts Great Apple, this is now a great little addition to the strip mall and worthy of replacing a neighborhood icon(RIP Great Apple, I have fond memories). There's a small number of seats inside, probably enough for 12 or so to dine in. Majority of customers that came in while I was there were grabbing take-out. There's also access to the grocery store that Ive never noticed previously. Pretty convenient if you need to shop after grabbing a bite to eat. There's also a clean restroom available to customers which is great if you're a mess like I am, and need to wash up after eating. Although the Pho options looked delicious, I went for the bulgogi banh mi. In short, it was amazing. Lightly sweet, with the crunchy veggies and a little mayo to pull it all together. This sandwich should be illegal! I wanted three more. I would have liked just a little more meat for the price, but we all know how expensive beef has gotten lately. I noticed they also had banh mi bowls on the menu - I presume for the carb conscious or those who can't eat, or don't like the crispy bread. Also wings... I need to stop back and try the wings. The only negative is that there is a credit card fee that is not disclosed and also not a separate line item on the receipt. I only noticed after I returned home that the charge was listed as a non-cash total. This is my biggest pet peeve with restaurants, so hopefully they put up a notice at the entrance and register to be in compliance with the state regulations. Had I known I would have paid in cash to avoid the junk fees.
