They offered us the buffet, and One of us got the buffet and one of us got the goat curry dish ($17.99). On the buffet I went straight for the butter chicken (very well known Indian dish). The chicken was not properly cooked, it was rubbery. There was rice, naan bread, fruit and desserts. On the other hand, the goat curry came with rice only (NO NAAN??), so we asked for naan bread, we were informed that only the buffet had naan bread, the $18 goat dish did not. We questioned it because all Indian restaurants I been to serve naan bread with all Indian dishes. We were informed that the goat curry came with RICE or NAAN BREAD, not both. How can this be? This is like serving Mexican food without tortillas, or Italian without bread sticks. This is crazy.

As a Vietnamese person, and someone who used to work at a pho shop -- plus my family owned a…read morebusiness -- I understand how hard and difficult it is to open and run a restaurant here as an immigrant. Because of that, I usually don't write bad reviews. But I'm writing this because I genuinely want the owner to read it and understand. I love my culture and our food, and everywhere I go I always try Vietnamese restaurants. I chose this place because it looked like a mom-and-pop shop, and I really like supporting local businesses. We dined in during lunchtime, and it wasn't very busy, so we got seated right away. We ordered: - Rice with Grilled Beef: it tasted good and the portion was decent. We added a fried egg on top for $2.45. Everything was okay, but the color of the pickled vegetables didn't look fresh to me. - Vermicelli with Grilled Shrimp, Pork, and Egg Rolls: also a decent bowl, no big complaints. But I asked for no bean sprouts, the server repeated it to confirm, and it still came out with bean sprouts. Now here's the part that really disappointed me. Everywhere I've been, when you order a rice plate, it usually comes with a small side of soup. This place didn't, so we decided to order one. I knew we would be charged for it, and that's fine. But $8 for a small bowl of beef broth -- barely around 4 oz -- is honestly outrageous. I understand pho broth takes a lot of time, effort, ingredients, and experience. I respect that. But this? This didn't feel reasonable at all. I'm not expecting anything to be given for free just because I'm Vietnamese and I speak Vietnamese when I order. Even if they offered, I wouldn't take it. That's not the point. The point is, I felt really disappointed -- because this is my own people, and it made me feel like I got taken advantage of by my own people. I'm speaking up like this not to bash a small business, but because I want them to understand: every dollar customers spend is money they work hard for. You shouldn't take advantage of that or use excuses to raise prices like this. And what made it worse is that I've heard from locals who've been there and personally know the owner that "they only do that to people from out of town." That honestly made me even more upset. You might make extra money from one visit, but you lose trust permanently.

We received our drinks and chips and salsa from BellaBot who's is a restaurant service robot. I had to order extra salsa because the complimentary one is very mild so the extra is an additional $2. It's considered as habanero. The atmosphere was ok with an added personal fire element at each booth. The women's restroom needed some attention. Our meal was great. We both liked the fact that there was ample portions of well seasoned meat on both entrees. Beware that there is a difference in price if you're paying cash versus credit card (there's a fee). Receipt states the differences.

The prices are a little higher than what I am used to coming from a big city. However, the food was served fresh and delicious. My breaded fish filet was huge and fried so well that it was not greasy at all. The beans were fluffy and tasted good like the rice. I really liked the fried tostones (green plantain). They also have a habanero salsa and a green one if you like some spice. The only thing is that crema automatically should be served with a sweet plantain order and is separate. My dining companions ordered pupusas and liked them immensely.

It was late and we just wanted some Asian foods the last minute so we ordered a lot. We got: - Calamari tempura: Crispy, but a little too chewy and batter to somehow taste like onion. But still good with the spicy mayo. - Spicy Tuna: got as accommodation and surprisingly the best of the night. The perfect combination, crispy fried wonton, spicy tuna, avocado and sliced onion. So gooood. - Tom Kha: I usually would order Tom Yum but that night I was craving something creamy, so I got Tom Kha with seafoods. They loaded that thing up with a lot of meats. Wr did ordered Thai Spicy level but it is basically just level 1 to us, we didn't send back because it was late and we don't want to bother them. If you could it spicy go ahead and try Thai spicy level. - Beef Panang: They again loaded that thing up with a lot of beef. Flavor and creamy. You also can try Thai hot with this one. - Spicy Kani Rolls: Come with 8 pieces (but my husband ate 2 lol). A decent sushi rolls, good that we tried. Everything was good, the owner and staff were super nice and friendly. They also have a lot more of different varieties, definitely comeback and try more.
