I always get 14b (rare filet mignon), and it is consistently great. Very generous portions without sacrificing quality! I just wouldn't recommend the iced coffee here. I'm vietnamese and love vietnamese coffee, but theirs is too concentrated to drink. It's very sweet and thick.. and a bit of a burnt aftertaste to me.

I ordered a house special pho, egg rolls and Vietnamese hot coffee with condensed milk. I was expecting the pho comes out first as usually that's the case since the soup is ready made, pho noodle doesn't take long to cook. but the egg rolls actually came out first piping hot. I was also pleasantly surprised that I can taste some meat inside the egg rolls. Pho and coffee came about the same time. pho noodle was standard size with enough pho noodle (still too much for my taste). the beef slices do have some pink (raw) color when it was served. soup was flavorful enough. coffee was too sweet for my taste. I even asked for more coffee to dilute the sweetness but didn't help much. total bill was around $26+tips for 1 person.

I drive by this place everyday on my way home from work and had no idea that it was here. I think…read moreit used to be a sushi place and I just never paid attention. I came here today for lunch and I got a Kbop bowl with beef bulgogi and chicken and a large Korean glass noodle. Total was around $22 so it is a little expensive, but the portion size is pretty decent. I wish there was a bit more protein and maybe less salad, but they give you a lot of rice and the bowl filled me up. The glass noodles also tasted really good and it was a pretty big portion for only $6.00. Place was clean and the worker was friendly. I ordered online and the food was ready when they said it would be. Parking lot is tiny, so it might be hard to get a space if it's really busy. Overall, the food was pretty tasty and the menu is pretty big. I will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu.

The spot is on a tiny corner lot with only a few spaces, so you may need to park down the street and walk over.

It was a convenient way to order since I was able to use Apple Pay. When it came parking, this is located in a plaza with other businesses. I did not have trouble parking at around 7 pm.

Both were solid options that were enjoyed!

Really disappointed by the service and chicken at this location of bbq chicken. This places gets a…read more2.3/5 stars from me for multiple reasons. I've been to this location before but my recent purchase at this establishment left me disappointed and wanting to go to a different location. We ordered a large order of chicken and sides via mobile order since I was treating friends for helping me out. When we arrived at the pick up time, the store was packed and had a ton of customers waiting, around 4-5 other orders including us. It was also hot inside as I think the air conditioning was broken or there was way too many people packed into the small establishment. We arrived early and luckily had an early enough pick-up time that we waited around 10 mins for the lady at the counter to bring the food out, ~5 mins after the expected pick up time. A lot of customers were angry that day though as I noticed their pick up time said ready but their food wasn't out. There was also no one at the counter for a long amount of time as I think they were low on staff back of house. When we drove back to our location to eat (5 mins drive), we were disappointed that we were missing one of our sides of cheesing fries ($8). We were on a deadline so it would've been a waste of time to drive back and they were way too busy to call to complain so I lost out on both the food and money which I was a little upset about. The soy garlic chicken was solid and good. A nice balance of sweet and tangy. The hot and spicy wings were alright. The flavor wasn't bad but it didn't suit my tastes. These two were both a little soggy which was alright as we did take out and had a short drive but I was a little surprised as it hadn't ever happened to me before at the Temple City location and the drive was about the same. The golden chicken was personally the worst one. Although it looked crispy, the chicken skin was soggy. I wasn't a big fan of boneless chicken already but it made it taste especially bad. This was the second most disappointing part as we ordered two portions as my friend mentioned he really liked the original chicken. The rose ttebokki was one of the most surprising parts as it tasted savory and creamy. I liked the multi-layered taste of it. I do wish the establishment provided utensils as it was difficult to ask since they were so packed. Overall, the food was just alright and I personally would just stick to my own local spot near me. Not sure if it was just this day that the poor staff were overworked but it definitely affected my and many other's experience. Will not be coming back to this location any time soon. :(

The beef patties were overly dry, and there was barely any gravy, which made the whole dish feel pretty unsatisfying. The mac salad was good, but overall the meal didn't feel worth the $16-$18 price point. That said, I do plan on coming back because the musubis really are that good. I'll just stick to what they do best or try something different next time. Parking is super easy since it's in a shopping area that never seems too busy, which is always a plus.

I came by HoAloha to pick up some lunch as I was picking up drinks and snacks next door at Smoking…read moreTiger, and the aroma wafting over from HoAloha brought me in. The menu is pretty large and they also offer a catering menu. There are many kinds of appetizers like cheesy fries with your choice of protein, and many varieties of musubis. They also sell noodles (noodle soups and garlic noodles) as well as tacos. It was a Tuesday so I decided to try their daily special Fried Chicken Plate with mac salad. I also ordered the HoAloha Chicken Mix Plate with green salad. Both plates come with 2 scoops of rice. Food was ok, but I've honestly had better Hawaiian food. First thing I noticed was that the rice they serve is jasmine rather than the Calrose rice that is usually served with Hawaiian food. Some people don't care, but I'm kind of a rice nerd. It's like using basmati rice in your sushi. You can argue that it's still rice, but it's weird. The fried chicken was hit or miss. Some pieces were good, some were dried out and hard. The sauce that came with it was good. The mac salad was very slippery compared to other Hawaiian mac salads I've had. I kept dropping it everytime I tried to have a bite. The texture and taste reminds me of the mac salad that comes in the tub from the deli at the market. As for the chicken mix plate, the Katsu was pretty thin and dry also. The Katsu sauce was weak - very watery and tasteless. The BBQ chicken was pretty good however. For some good BBQ chicken in the area, I'd rather go around the corner to Jinza.

I think this restaurant is a brand new one. Never seen…read morebefore. I went there out of curiosity, and there was no customers (whoops). I ordered dumpling, galbi+tofu soup combo, and pork don katsu. 1) side dishes including tea: tea and water are served, and i liked the tea. Most of side dishes are tasty. 2) service: very friendly and kind. One staff treated my kids as if she is our neighbor or relative. Side dish refill was nearly automatic (maybe because it was not crowded?), and she brought some cookies for our kids to share as well. 3) price: it is an acceptable range i think . 2 adults and 2 kids ate and we spent less than 85$ including tips. 4) food quality: pros and cons i see. We ordered medium level Tofu soup but it was mild. I think too spicy food is nlt favorable other than korean/chinese so it was localized i assume? But we did want spicy soup so we should have ordered highest spicy level soup instead. For dumpling, people like me love it quite much, since it has many different flavors inside+veges. But for kids, i think it contained too much spring onion for them. Don katsu, we all liked it. Galbi, it was juicy, but i think chinese people(my wife is a chinese) prefer more of not burnt but still well-done meat (I experienced this when i hang out for bbq party.) Overall, i had a positive impression +some could be improved over time. Honestly, if this is something to be 'improved' or not, since korean is not the only customer and i cannot represent other culture. But as a Korean, I would expect somewhat better. They opened recently they said, so i guess it would be better and better. I did leave 25% tips so i do not try to ruin anyone's day mixing with positive negative comments here. I did see multiple aervice issue in the previous posts.... I guess staff today must be a different person? Cannot imagine she could be somehow rude at all.
