Not going to lie this hole in the wall restaurant looks unassuming from the outside but hey you can never judge a book by its cover. The hibachi grill leaves such a satisfying char to the meat that each bite is a flavor explosion once you add in the mayo sauce and the sweet garlic sauce. The rice is there to soak it all up at the end. I personally enjoy the chicken and shrimp the most. MW also offers sushi. I wasn't able to try it out but managed to grab a photo. Note - my parents used to own this restaurant so I grew up eating this food almost daily. When I visited I was hopeful that the recipes and technique would be maintained by the new owners who took over a few years ago. They did not disappoint. Everything was just as I remembered when I left it almost 10 years ago.

We watched quite a few others come in, order, and even sit to eat before leaving. Still, our order did not come. There is no excuse.

It's say to be treated like that when you are a loyal customer.

As for the sushi, something just seemed to be missing in the flavor department. I'm not sure if it's simply the style of the area, but it could have used a little more seasoning or something to make the flavors stand out. I've had sushi at many different places, and this just didn't quite have the flavor I was expecting. That being said, the overall experience was good, and I'll definitely visit again. Their fried rice combos looked amazing, so those are next on my list to try!

The shrimp was fresh and I appreciated getting peanut sauce for dipping instead of the usual Thai chili sauce. Now the pho. The beef broth was absolutely delicious. It was rich clean and full of flavor. The meats were great quality as well and tender instead of the tough chewy cuts I have had at other places. They were out of Thai basil but I understand it can be difficult to get in this area. The broth alone made up for it and that is what truly matters in a good pho. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal and the husband and wife team were so kind and personable. Thank you and I look forward to returning again soon.

The dish consisted of 5-6 heavily breaded, deep fried shrimp and sugary sauce on the side. I couldn't even taste the shrimp. Worse than the food was the delivery service. I specifically requested 4 plates and told them they needed to bring enough change for a $50. When the food was delivered, the person only had 3 plates and forks and did not have change. She took my $50 and left. Several minutes later she came back with the change and 2 extra dishes (not disposable) and forks from the hotel. I didn't want the extra clutter in the small room and she did not take the extra one back. She seemed extremely annoyed and gave me only enough change to give herself a generous tip. I would not order here again. After a long day of driving with three kids by myself, this is terrible treatment. The food is cheap, but not worth it!
