honeygrow — Restaurant in Copley Township

Had kind of a disappointing experience but I guess that's what I should expect from any restaurant in this area these days. I do like the streamlined setup and ordering system though. However, my noodles weren't cooked all the way through and everything in my bowl was very lukewarm upon receiving it. Everything was clumped together and was slightly difficult to eat, although it did have decent flavor. I ordered a "create your own" bowl with noodles/chicken/turkey meatballs/mushrooms/garlic tossed in their spicy garlic. Came to around $19 after a small drink that didn't come with a lid..(also no lids at the tiny "drink station" either).

I'm not into the whole minimalistic approach that this franchise appears to be adopting. Having only one tiny trash receptacle in the back seemed strange to me. The interior arrangement of the chairs in the center is also pretty odd - you have people trying to eat their meals in a very tight/crowded center of tables while other people that come in stand and hover 1 feet away from your table (because there is just not enough room with the way things are setup) as they stand there gawking about what they want to order while perusing the giant displays/menu along the entire back wall....why not build the booths along that wall and the menu/displays where the booths are so you don't have random people tangled in with other patrons that just want to mind their own business and not have folks invading their space just to get a look at the menu? Or maybe somehow mount the displays and possibly downsize them so that they overhang near the ordering terminal would possibly alleviate some of the awkwardness here.

While I likely won't come back here for a long time due to my mediocre/disappointing experience, I understand that this place is pretty new and is still working...

This place is great in that the food is made fresh you can watch it be made. Their main focus is stirfrys and parfaits. The shrimp in the cold noodle salad was actually really well cooked, and all the fruits and veggies were very fresh. The rice bowl had turkey meatballs in it, which we're shockingly good. Both parfait were interesting. One was greek yogurt with apples and like a crumble top, and the other was just brownies and strawberries. They were both very pleasant and lighter than they looked. The large white dollop on each of them seemed to be just whipped cream. The ordering here is kind of like fast food. You go up to a kiosk and order and pay. But the food does take a little bit because they do make it to order. The food does not get brought to you they just call out the name you put down on the order. So it's fast food adjacent but higher quality. Also, all the entrees are fully customizable to your preferences, so you can make anything vegetarian by substuing in tofu, or you can add extra meats to them if thats your thing. There is also plenty of parking here with a large lot out front. Also, the staff is incredibly friendly. The guy calling out orders tonight was super nice. I didn't catch his name, but...

If you love your stir fry with fresh quality vegetables and meat this is the place. This was the best stir fry that I’ve ever had from any Asian inspired restaurant. The best thing as well is that you can customize what vegetables and meat you want in your stir and of course I wanted all of them all 🤤 so many varieties to choose from. I even topped it off with the crab meat. Yes, crab meat that was so fresh and delicious. Look at the pic. 😋 I know it has to be good on the salads they make too. I could eat here every day if I was living nearby. The atmosphere there was relaxing. Very clean place and I love it ❤️ I am so glad my son told me about this place so when I come back in town this will be my spot. I’m so glad my son Delshon told me about this place. I love delicious healthy eating places. Last and not least thanks Liyah for serving me. Liyah welcomed me and offered help with ordering. She has such a beautiful spirit.. that makes the atmosphere even better. What a diamond 💎 I even spoke to Emily on the phone who’s the manager and I see why you have a great team there. You shine as well.🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for making my day...
