    Popcorn Crispy Chicken Bites
    Khanh P.

    Went here for lunch and honestly didn't expect too much from the Pad Thai since it's more of a fusion spot. But it turned out surprisingly decent! The portion was just right, and I liked how the noodles and toppings were balanced instead of being overloaded with carbs. Seasoning was on point too. Really enjoyed it! The popcorn chicken is a must try, super crispy and flavorful without being too salty (which happens a lot elsewhere). I'd definitely order both dishes again.

    House Pho
    Gionne S.

    I went here with a few friends post run club. Had the house special pho and tasted the popcorn chicken. The pho was great and had a good and balanced broth along with the combination of meats (meatball, brisket). Bonus points for having cool tables with outlets. Might be a cool idea do some work here in the future.

    rotisserie chicken + fountain drink (bottomless)
    Keeny Q.

    They have pretty good food here. Portions could be bigger but not a big deal. All their plate orders are around $17-$22

    Rotisserie chicken
    Jonathan S.

    Do not try the rotisserie chicken. I might have to call out of work tomorrow now. I took 2 bites of the chicken and my stomach started feeling a little weird. I'm giving them 2 stars because maybe the chicken could've been bad before it even made it to them, but even then the flavor of the chicken was awful. I won't be back again, and I definitely can't recommend it.

    Randomly went to this place and honestly didn't expect much, but wow the popcorn chicken was crazy good. Super crispy but not dry at all, and that flour they use got so much flavor like I don't even know how to explain it, just really good. The noodles were tasty and not dry at all, with tender meat, and the Pad Thai had a nice balance of flavor. The server was super nice and helpful, made the whole thing even better. Didn't plan to eat here but glad we did.

    Rotisserie chicken with garlic noodles
    Deborah W.

    Came by to pick up a quick lunch and got: 1. Rotisserie chicken with garlic noodles: Don't get the rotisserie chicken; it was super bland. The garlic noodles were subpar and overcooked. 2. Popcorn chicken: The popcorn chicken was seasoned well, but honestly, at this point, I've had better. Overall, I'd skip and go elsewhere.

    Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
    Heather D.

    I randomly ended up here after seeing it nearby to where I was at. I ordered food to go, which seemed to take a really long time but the food was super good. I ordered a plate with filet and garlic noodles. I told my friend I think that they were the best garlic noodles I've ever had! They were cooked perfectly as was the filet. I ordered the pork spring rolls which were pretty good. I didn't order a beverage but the milk teas are all sounded really good. I'd recommend giving this place a try!

    Garlic noodles with filet mignon cubes & popcorn chicken in the back
    Ryoung K.

    The food was decent! Garlic noodles were good. We got the filet mignon cubes & the crispy chicken for the protein but I personally liked the crispy chicken more. The popcorn chicken was okay, wasn't as crispy as we would have liked. The food was served to us and it came out pretty quickly. Service was decent, as well. Ambiance wise, plenty of seats inside. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was just us two and one more person inside. Price is decent. There's plenty of parking because it's inside a structure with other stores nearby, like 85 degrees.

    Vietnamese coffee- sweet not bitter
    Imma V.

    Underdog of cafes to study at. Plentyyyy of outlets at each table. Great spot to study if you need outlets. Wifi is usually good. Music is always loud, so noise cancelling will help big time. You can also hear the cashier or social chatter since this place lowkey is like a dome where you hear everything. The tables themselves aren't shiny clean and lowkey sticky so it can get uncomfortable sitting on sticky wooden furniture for a long time. I've had the garlic noodles with prawn and rotisserie chicken before. The chicken is sweet but it pairs well with the garlic noodles. This visit, I stayed late so just wanted something to snack on and chose the garlic fries. It's delicious at first then after eating it for a while it got too salty and garlickyyy for me to munch on. Viet coffee hitttttt however I don't think it's as strong as Lees Vietnamese coffee. I'm curious to try their pad Thai and curry.

    Pad Thai with Beef

    Stopped by on a very sunny day. The ambiance is very pleasing and the service is top notch. I love their Pad Thai, it hits home. I also tried Garlic Noodles and a refreshing salad to balance the flavor out but overall, I love the experience and would like to come back to try other items on the menu! Highly recommended! (Their popcorn chicken is something else, very addicting to eat).

It was delicious and portion size was great, but the service and promo were frustrating. They had a huge sign advertising FREE Ube Beignets for downloading their app. The cashier told me to download it and redeem it in-app. I tried, but the app didn't have clear instructions on how to redeem. When I went back to ask for help, the original cashier brushed me off saying she was on break, and a male server told me they didn't even have any Ube Beignets available??? Umm, wait it's less than an hour past opening time. Being "out" of a front-and-center promo item 30 minutes after opening feels like a bait-and-switch. Take the sign down if you can't honor it. Food is good, but the experience left a bad taste.

This entails 3 pounds of your choice of protein: shrimp, clam, mussel, and crawfish. This also comes with corn, potatoes, and sausages. Only costed $54.99. We just got 3 lbs of shrimp. We thought it was a great deal so we ordered take out and ate it within 30 min of getting it. First impression was good because it was hefty and on the bag, it even had a cute thank you message. When we ate the shrimps, we realized a lot of them stuck to the shell and tasted soft, not the usual crunch that you get in a shrimp. Tasted old and the texture was just off putting. The flavor and the other toppings were good though, but not good enough for me to come back since the shrimp should be the star of the dish. It was also super dead when we walked into the restaurant, but that shouldn't excuse old shrimp. I hope they read this review and take action.

The servers are aunties that won't check on you after every bite but will come over the second you raise your hand. I took my mom for lunch and we dug in a little too quick - photos were snapped after we've made a small dent on the food. We got the Seolleongtang and soondae platter which was plenty to share between two people. We ended up taking half of the soondae platter home and enjoying it for breakfast the day after. For those not familiar with Seolleongtang, the soup comes out very basic. You're given a bucket of scallions, a little pot of salt, and shaker of ground pepper to season the broth as you please. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls of the radish kimchi sauce. Speaking of the banchan, Jong Ro prepares some of the freshest and most flavorful banchans on the street. I wish they offered a menu option that was just a bowl of rice and bottomless banchan. The soondae was perfectly springy, paired with a salted shrimp sauce and flavored salt dip. The platter also came with boiled (or steamed?) pork belly, pig ear, and other pork innards that were nicely cooked. I love restaurants like this because they are simply good at what they do. Nothing is over-the-top. There is always a constant stream of customers. The times I've gone have been during your typical slow hours and the place was always 60% full. I imagine the house is full during dinner time or on weekends and rightfully so. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a heartwarming and belly filling comfort meal.
