    Went here for my best friend's birthday for their brunch and it was a vibe! Very aesthetically pleasing on the inside, has a bar and dining area. Also a DJ was playing music. We did the unlimited brunch and every last thing that we ordered was delicious! Our server and waitstaff were very attentive, refilling our drink pitchers and bringing out our food in a timely manner. The drinks were so tasty! We had a great time and will be back soon!

    Pretty nice atmosphere.. and plenty of music for the millennials . The food was on point also, and the service was very personable. Dope Xperience overall (see what I did there )!! But seriously it didn't feel like I was in avenel so that was kinda dope that it was semi transcendent in that aspect. I'd go back for sure and suggest others to check it out!

    If you're looking for a good time and good food, you definitely want to try Xperience. The restaurant is conveniently found in a small shopping center with plenty of parking available for free. The restaurant is well designed with booths as well as tables for groups and a large bar area with a DJ. We went on a Wednesday night so the atmosphere was chill and there weren't a lot of people. There also seems to be an area available for private parties or a large groups. As we walked in, we were greeted promptly by the hostess as shown to a table. Our server, Vivi og was very nice and she was quick to take our order and bring drinks to the table. We were also greeted by Jazz who was very friendly and asked us what we were celebrating. We told her that we were celebrating our birthdays and she certainly hooked us up and made sure that we really enjoyed our first time at the restaurant. We ordered several different dishes, off of the happy hour menu. Among our favorites was the coconut shrimp, the chicken dumplings, the fried cauliflower, the Yuuka fries, and the wings. Everything was quite flavorful. We ordered several drinks and they were tasty but also packed a punch. Later that night a guy with a saxophone came by and played a few songs. They also had a DJ playing as well as music throughout the night. Needless to say we will be back to have a great time.

    Brunch Date! Came here with 3 other people for their lively brunch on a Saturday. We had reservations for 2:30pm. Upon arrival the entrance was jammed pack, people standing everywhere making it hard to access the hostess. After about 5mins after people scattered we were able to check in. After another 5 minutes we were shown to our table. There's many options for brunch via a la carte and brunch buffet with different price points. My group and I decided to go with the brunch buffet. You select a few options that are then served family style. We had lamb chops, scrambled eggs, waffles, fried chicken, grits and shrimp. Everything was lack luster.... EVERYTHING. The chimi sauce that topped the steak was salty, the lamb chops were cooked well BUT the spices used weren't for me, the seasoning on the shrimp was full of salt, the grits were not seasoned, the eggs and chicken were decent. The saving grace was the cocktails. It's extremely loud, very much brunch party vibes. Service was ok but the food was just bad.

    Brunch was great once again, from the music to the service and food. Chris always makes sure everybody is having a good time. Avianna (sp) and Santiago gave great service.

    Went here for a friend's birthday and I wasn't quite sure what to expect even after reading reviews and watching TikTok's. The establishment is in a strip mall that is located in a place where you wouldn't expect to find an establishment like this in. They had red velvet ropes outside and their exterior was nice, however, it just didn't look like it belonged in that location is that makes sense. Once you walk in though the "xperience" begins and is IN YOUR FACE because you immediately hear the music blasting (which is problematic when trying to talk to people at your own table lol) and the lighting and decor transports you to feeling like you're in Miami or Vegas. Service while friendly (everyone was friendly) was slow but the accuracy of the orders was on point and we were a large group. Everything on the menu is pricey ... I'm talking $25 mixed cocktails pricey ... $65 average entree price pricey. And the portions aren't anything to write home about, however the flavors of the food were on point! Would I come back, probably not, however, it definitely was an "xperience" I won't forget.

    Mocktails

    I saw this spot on Tiktok and it has been on my list for awhile now. So I decided to come here on a Wednesday night at around 10PM to celebrate my birthday and had a great time! They had a DJ and the music was very lively and loud. It was not busy due to being in the middle of the week but there were a few other patrons there celebrating birthdays. What we ordered: - Sexy Cumber mocktail (Watermelon, Cucumber, Mint, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Sprite) - Paxion on the Beach mocktail (Passion Fruit, Mint, Fresh Squeezed Lime, Club) - Grilled Oysters (Prince Edward Island Lucky Lime oysters, Calabrian butter, Parmesan) - Lamb Shank main (8 hour Braised New Zealand Lamb, Lemon Risotto) - Red Snapper main (Whole Fried Fish Red Snapper, Sweet Thai Chili, Plantain Chips and a Choice of Side [we chose Fried Rice]) - Velvet Spinach side (Spinach, Garlic, and Bechamel) Overall, the food was good, a little on the salty side but I would prefer that over a bland meal. The mocktails are fun and very tasty/refreshing. The only thing I wouldn't recommend personally is the Velvet Spinach. Since it is more of a lounge spot, some people were getting complimentary shots for their birthday. I mentioned to the waiter I was not trying drinking alcohol, and they brought out a compliment gelato for me and the staff sang happy birthday.

    We made a reservation to go to Xperience on a Friday night & maybe that's where we messed up. We arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time and we were told that our table wasn't ready. I had no problem with waiting an additional 30 minutes, but when we were brought to our table, it was right next to the DJ booth (so close that he could've reached over the booth and grabbed one of our drinks). We couldn't talk throughout dinner because the music was so loud but at least the DJ was good. The bathrooms were gross. There was a bathroom attendant that provided paper towels & toiletries however, the stalls weren't maintained well at all. I ordered a dirty martini to drink & salmon with mushrooms to eat. I enjoyed the food but overall I don't feel like the prices match the experience at all. If I ever go back, I'll sit at the bar for drinks.

    Mango Seabass
    Karen G.

    The ambiance is great. The DJ is fabulous. He played a lot of hip hop & RnB songs. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. However, the food is overrated. I ordered a Mango Sea-bass and it was flavorless. The portion is tiny and it doesn't look like anything like the photo. Just a tiny dots of mango sauce. $54 for this is outrageous.

    Steak & Eggs

    Xperience is not only a brunch spot, as the name suggests, it's an experience. Right away when you walk in you see the chic vibe with colorful lights, an in house dj, and club style loungers. The staff was super nice and welcoming and made sure our every need was taken care of. We had a large table as we were celebrating a birthday and everybody found something they were excited to eat and drink. I personally ate the lomo saltado and thought it was full with flavor. I also had the mule which I found refreshing and very well balanced.

    Visited for a birthday celebration. We had a good time. There is a set price everyone pays for food that is served family style. You can add drinks or go with the option which does not include drinks. We went with the option without drinks since some individuals at the table would not be drinking. The food was very good. I tried the pasta, salmon, salad, fries, chicken and the dessert which were all good. Everyone seemed to have eaten well and two people even took some food home. I had the lychee martini as my drink which was good. The server was friendly and attentive. We were seated by the DJ booth which is a bit cramped. I kept having to move my chair every time the server returned which was a bit annoying but nothing that ruined the experience. The one thing I was not fond of was once we paid the bill they gave our table to new guests. We were there for a birthday and we all planned to continue to order drinks. We were a group of 12 which was a lot to crowd the bar. We ordered drinks at the bar but ended up leaving. I understand business is business but with the money spent you would think a bit more grace would be given. The verdict: I would return with a smaller group.

    Came here for a friend's birthday brunch at the end of last month. There's a reason why this establishment is called "Xperience" because you indeed get an experience when you decide to come here. We (party of about 12) were seated directly in front of the DJ booth. This was the best seat in the house in my opinion. We had a perfect view of the large projectors and televisions that were showing the Sunday NFL games. The bar is huge and fully loaded with various alcohol to choose from. The belly dancers and saxophonist kept the place lively during the love DJ set. A majority of our table including myself ordered the steak and eggs with home fries and a side salad. The meal was delicious but the steak was small. The entire table had more than enough alcohol (mimosas and margaritas) throughout our unlimited brunch duration. I also had the yuca fries and turkey bacon as sides to go with my steak and eggs meal. It is pretty loud in here so if that's not your thing, don't come here. This is definitely a place that I recommend you try at least once.

They also included some chicken gizzards and liver if you are a fan of those, but for me I could do with or without. Overall a solid place and worth a repeat visit in my book.

We ordered the chicken satay, beef satay, dumplings, spring rolls, curry puffs, roti, curry chicken, sesame chicken, Hainanese chicken, Sarang Burang (seafood/chicken/vegetables in a taro nest), Kangkung Belacan (water spinach) and Char Kway Teow (flat noodle stir fry). The best dishes in my opinion were the Kangkung Belacan, Sarang Burang, and Hainanese chicken. The food overall was fresh and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be back! Without question.

    Cily Chicken is my personal favorite in Chinatown! Came by to-go here today after a good climb…read moresession nearby. As with any place in Chinatown, parking is sparse, so be expected to circle the block. Cash only, but they have an ATM on site. Not a lot of seating in person, but things usually move pretty fast for you to be able to get a seat without too long of a wait. We called in an order today though since we didn't have the time to sit in. Our food was ready insanely fast. And it was still amazingly good! I always get the set 2 combo here and split with a friend or my wife. I'd recommend paying $2 extra for the mixed to get both the well breaded fried chicken, but then also get the moist juicy boiled chicken too. This is also one place where I will finish all of my rice because it's so good. As for the interior, things are a bit crowded because of the narrowness of their lot. However, given their limitations, they make a surprising amount of seating work pretty well-- just expect not to have the most privacy in this spot.

    Cash only, but worth it for the flavors. Went on a Sunday around 1:30PM and it was packed, popular…read moreeven off hours. Specializes in Thai-style chicken rice. I got the mixed chicken, friend got the fried rice. The chicken was tender and juicy with a ginger-forward marinade that really shines through. Sauces were bold and aromatic, complementing the meat perfectly. The rice was slightly dry and very gingery, but still flavorful and well-cooked. The fried rice had a savory, umami taste with hints of soy and egg, though also a bit dry. Soup was light, clear, and refreshing, with subtle herbal notes that balanced the richness of the main dishes. The space is cute, with charming wall paintings of whimsical chickens. Service is a bit slow since they're understaffed, only two servers with one who seems to be the owner. They sometimes forget extras like water or the check, but it's clear they're doing their best. Overall, a small wait and cash-only hassle aside, it's worth coming back to try more dishes. They do have an ATM inside if you forget cash.
