The place fills up nicely so that you feel like you have the privacy of being in a crowd without it feeling crowded. The food is beautiful and I really love the dishware they use here. Overall the service was satisfactory, nothing really to write home about either way. That being said I would have liked the food to be a bit more substantial for the prices. The pricing felt a bit high for what was served both in terms of substance and quantity. A final minor note is that I consider calling the Turmeric Fries "fries" a bit misleading considering that they are most definitely chips and that was more than a little disappointing when they came out.

I'll start with the good things about my experience here tonight. The ambiance is perfect for a…read moredate night or getting together with friends. Both the cocktails and food were ridiculously good. They far exceeded our expectations going into the meal. We had the grand biryani, the vegan samosas, and the Burmese chicken curry. Every food dish blew my socks off, especially the curry. I would recommend, however, that they add a chili symbol to the grand biryani because it was actually quite spicy. In fact, the people next to us had to send it back because it was far too spicy, but not advertised as such. The amount of chicken in the grand biryani was spectacular and the portion was very large. Definitely worth the price tag on it. I also highly recommend the lychee lemon drop and the Burma blue cocktails. As another couple near us said, "everything was great except for the service". It's not that the people weren't friendly, it was just slow and very odd. It took 25 minutes for my wife and I to get our drinks. And had the couple next to us not reminded the server of the beer they ordered, they never would have received it. We never got our silverware and had to ask for that after receiving our food. Additionally, our neighbors ordered their entrees before us, yet we received our full order (the same exact order) before they did. We had 4 different servers over the course of the meal and I truly had no idea who was supposed to be our primary waiter and it seemed like none of them knew what was going on at the tables. The guy who took our orders at the beginning of the meal came by 15 minutes after we'd finished eating and our table had been cleared to ask if we ever received our meals (75 minutes after we'd been seated). This was on Valentine's Day so on less busy nights maybe things would be better. Altogether, my biggest recommendations for management would be to have 1 server take care of their own tables to ensure consistency/flow, and ensure that the menu more accurately reflects what is provided (add appropriate spice symbols).

We've tried to find the best pizza around in the area, and so far this is becoming our favorite…read more We highly recommend the signature pies that have made this place so popular. Namely, the Pho Pizza with its delectable brisket, hoisin and veggie ingredients, in addition to the Banh Mi Pizza with barbecue pork, daikon, carrots and jalapenos. What seems questionable at conception becomes absolutely delicious in execution. These pizzas are Neapolitan style, made in high temperature brick ovens, and with a crust that is the nice blend of crispy & chewy at the same time. It's definitely cleverness that somehow works, and is not just a gimmick. Parking seemed a little tricky. I guess they have a lot, but we found it easier to find a spot on the street. We've ordered their pizzas via Uber Eats as well, but we would strongly recommend dining at the restaurant. Service was busy but efficient. Interesting fact: "Hapa" is originally a Hawaiian word that means a person of blended ancestry (typically, half-Asian). However, no Hawaiian pizza is on the menu here.

The calls went straight to voicemail stating they were most likely busy with other customers. Drove out to the restaurant and when we arrived about an hour before close, we were greeted with a sign that said they had Sold Out. The employees were in the restaurant already starting to clean up for the end of the day. I can't really say anything about the food, since we didn't try it, but this was a pretty bad customer experience due to the communication gap. Maybe they can have an alternate voicemail when they're out of pizza?

We enjoyed the food on Puerto Rico on our cruise so this was a treat. The restaurant was vibrant with island decor and family photos on the walls. My wife ordered a Mojito and I had a Rum and Coke. The mojito was underwhelming and was missing flavor. On to the food..... I ordered the Mofongo with pork and my wife had the garlic chicken. My meal was moist and tasty along with being filling. The garlic chicken was pounded thin and overcooked, very dry and hard to eat. The accompanying beans, rice and salad were very good. I mentioned the quality or lack of to the waiter (I think was the owner) and he questioned me like I was wrong. No apologies given. I didn't ask for a discount and wasn't given one.

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

It's also a worker owned co-op with amazing ethical standards and inclusivity; they pay their employees a living wage without having exorbitant prices and don't even accept tips. I can't recommend this place higher. If you haven't been here, you have to try it!

The restaurant itself is getting refreshed, the menu is more expansive, and the table service is much faster and better. The restaurant is bright, inviting, and welcoming.
