A group of us had lunch here for my friend's Baby Sprinkle because she loves Cajun seafood. We got two large platters to share - one spicy and non-spicy since a few of us can't eat spicy food. I thought the food was delicious. However, I think it's a little pricey at $17.99/lb for shrimp. The service was pretty fast overall. The Hush Puppies took longer than expected to arrive after our group ordered it. Would recommend checking out this restaurant for Cajun-style seafood.

Great food, great seasoning, and overall a super fun dining experience, especially for a group! We'll definitely be back!

I have to admit that it was surprising to hear whistles at a Mexican restaurant in light of events. Unfortunately, we will probably not go back because the service was very very poor. We had to ask for multiple times before we got them, and it seemed like the staff just kept forgetting us. Prices are OK.

You open the door and they welcome you in with a greeting and big smiles. All the Filipinos coming in here call the owner Ate (big sister). Great ambience. We ordered a lot, as usual, and everything tastes the way they should. Lumpia Shanghai - 4 pcs per order - perfectly crunchy & tastes amazing- pork filling Pork bbq skewers - salty sweet Filipino style bbq - so good & tender Pancit bam-i - this one has shiitake mushrooms and so much umami Longganisa - one of the best longganizas we've ever had - they say they imported it from the Philippines, one of the few things they don't make from scratch- 4 pcs per order Lechon Kawali - nice & crunchy and a huge portion Sisig - this was a Saturday special- the flavors are on point but I prefer a crispy sisig Turon - 3 per order - philippine saba babana in a spring roll wrapper with caramelized sugar - so good & crunchy Halo-halo - probably one of the best ever - instead of just crushed ice & milk - they do ice with milk like in bingsu so it's very smooth & creamy plus the homemade ube ice cream & leche flan are outstanding If you've never tried Filipino food, this is where to go

I work with a diverse group of people, with many Ethnic backgrounds. And as much as I love (prefer) burgers and wraps, I have also come to enjoy rice and noodles. My doctor team had to work on Saturday and we get lunch "catered". Typical delivery options: JJs, Davani's, Chipolte, Vietnamese or Thai. But a new option was presented to the team: FILIPINO cuisine! My mind went "oh no, something new. (Insert grimace face). I know what to order at the regular places. Will I even like it?" On Thursday, I looked at the online menu and grabbed "A" (a Filipino coworker) and asked what things were. I'm not a fan of SPICY SPICY food (like Indian) and she assured me I was safe here. I asked about the noodles (glass and flour mixed with vegetables, similar to fried rice). She said they'll be dry but full of flavor. Lumpia are miniature egg rolls (thin, flaky wrapper). BBQ pork skewer (self explitory). I decided on Combo #1! Saturday: Holy smokes! This is my new favorite place. Let's start back with the noodles. Yes they are dry, but the catering box came with sauces (soy, sweet chili and HOT sauce). I added a little bit of soy just to add wetness to be able to swirl the fork, but the flavor is on point. The egg rolls..2 is not enough. Give me at least 6 and all the sweet chili sauce. Very addictive. The bbq pork skewer... If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was steak. I was delighted to taste smokiness from the grill. I could imaging eating this at a 4th of July picnic. Combo #1 was filling. Half of the office ordered the combo #1 and the other half did the Combo #2 (Chicken Adabo). How good it tasted was all anyone could talk about the rest of the day between seeing patients. I have no doubt we'll be ordering this again in the future. Again, I was shown that trying new things isn't always a bad thing.

Next visit I'd likely skip the turnip cake, it wasn't crispy at all. Instead mushy and very gluttonous.

My lil bro and his wife generally goes to Yangtze and has taken me there before but I was not impressed. The menu is pretty extensive considering you can order dim sum plus the regular menu on weekends. I came on Saturday because I've been waiting all week to try the dim sum during my visit. Everything came piping hot and was fresh and the servers were all extremely nice. I wish I had more stomach because there were so many things in the menu I didn't get to try. My lil bro first griped that this place was too far, but after he ate, he changed his tune and said "okay" when asked to come back

I'll still take in the sounds at Dakota Jazz on Nicollet Mall and BERLIN in the North Loop, but when I consider pricing, the kitchen, and the intimate space, Crooners is number 1. I love them all, and Minneapolis is fortunate to have one of the best music scenes in the country. Crooners makes its patrons feel like family. Mary T, the philanthropic owner and an ambassador for Minnesota empathy and 10,000 Lake ethics, is there almost every night, checking that everything is going smoothly. The artists all seem to love the place, and their performances are organic, a throwback to when audiences felt part of the show. I love Crooners and will return as often as I can.

Food was wonderful. Our waiter was new and overwhelmed a bit but he did well. Music was outstanding. We had such a great time, I will definitely be back. Just a few logistical things that I didn't understand before I went. They have three different musical stages so pay attention to which venue you are booking if you care about being outside or inside. Our show started at 6pm, we arrived at 5:30pm and didn't get our food until after the show started. I'm not sure what time they start seating. You order off a full menu, it's not like a dinner/show package where you only have a few options. Lastly, there was a long line inside to be seated around 5:45pm. Seemed like they kept people waiting inline instead of seating them when they arrived.

King's Restaurant (Korean) in Fridley, MN is delicious! We ordered Naeng-Myeon buckwheat noodle…read moresoup, which is served cold and only available in the summer. The buckwheat noodles are very chewy and served with pickled white radish slices and julienned cucumbers, half of a hard boiled egg, and 2 thin slices of beef brisket. Note: the Korean buckwheat noodles in this soup are slight translucent and chewy, and not the same type as the Japanese buckwheat noodles, which are not as chewy. The noodle soup is accompanied by 2 bottles sauces: hot/spicy yellow mustard and vinegar to add per your desired spice and sour level. The soup was light, slightly seasoned with a hint of sour and savoriness. We also ordered the jap chae glass noodle stir-fry which was delicious, but it was lacking in beef and a bit too oily. It had a few slices of red bell pepper, yellow onions, and green onion /scallions. The glass noodles are made from sweet potatoes and are chewy in texture, but not as chewy as the buckwheat noodles. The galbitang short beef rib soup (#26) is a light soup served hot (not spicy) with a few pieces of beef short ribs, glass noodles, white radish, and egg drop. King's Restaurant has reduced their portion of glass noodles in recent years and it's lacking substance to fill the tummy, especially with an increased price of $21.95. They do give a small bowl of white rice and 4-5 types of banchan (side dishes, like Kimchi, blanched bean sprouts, fish cake, kimchi cucumbers, blanched broccoli). Service is on the most part friendly and semi-attentive, depending on the server and if they're busy. King's is recently (2026) charging for their buckwheat Korean tea, which was previous complimentary. Ambiance is casual with booths and tables. They can host larger parties, up to 8 or so people, but it's best to call ahead to check. Free parking is plentiful, but it can get filled on the side lot nearest to the restaurant when it's busy. There's another larger parking lot adjacent to the restaurant that is never completely filled so parking should not be an issue. Would I go again-maybe. Their increased prices and smaller portions (jap chae with almost no beef and noodle dishes with a small portion of glass noodles), it's starting to give me pause, especially when I have other choices of Korean restaurants in the Twin Cities. King's is by far the most expensive Korean restaurant in the Twin Cities and their portion sizes are shrinking to where the value is lacking, especially if you're really hungry.

The waiter seems a little judgemental when I requested that there would be no bell peppers in my Japchae. (Sorry, personal preference; don't like the taste or smell.)

I got to fulfill my Japchae needs with some banchan!

My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE. We will absolutely be back--and when we do, we'll be asking for a table in David's section. (He works Tuesday through Friday.)

The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.
