This may have just been a fluke order, and sometimes that happens, but the fish sandwich we ordered was bad or old or something and got one of our party very sick and even vomited. However, the rest of the order was ok. I felt the Black miso ramen tasted kind of bland and the chicken in it was flavorless. The bao buns were okay as well as the chicken sandwich and poke bowl. However, the beets in tahini was excellent. I had a hard time contacting them directly through phone to tell them of the issue with the fish, which might be important so more bad fish isnt sold, and it instead sent me automatically to voicemail even though they were still open. I also filed a complaint on there website.
I want to be fair, this might have just been a singular occurrence, but between the mostly middling food, the one instance of possible food poisoning, and the lack of a way to get in contact asap, I have to give a 2/5 review.
the beets were good though.
Edit: The Beet staff got back to me by email late that night and got in contact with me by phone the next day. They were very professional dealing with the situation and they assured me the fish was not old and they were going to look into what might have gone wrong with the fish sandwich. I appreciate them being so open about my...
Read moreI was looking for some food to take back to my hotel room after a long day outside and too much sun. The older woman working the front counter took my order and added a 20 percent tip. I should have reduced it to zero after the way they treated me. I took a seat at an empty table to wait for my food. Cashier lady told me sternly that I needed to vacate my seat because the table was reserved for a party of three “and they have a child.” I told her that I would be happy to vacate when they arrive. A few minutes later, some bearded hipster dude tells me again sternly to move because the table is reserved. So even though I am 65 and partially disabled, I vacated the seat and stood while my food was prepared. A few minutes later, an all-female clan arrived — grandma with the stroller, new mom with the baby, and BFF or sister. They decided that they preferred to sit outside even though it was a 15 or more minute wait. So the table wasn’t even used. Despite the 20 percent tip on a takeout order, nobody offered to let me re-take the seat to wait for my food.
The food? Let’s just say it was “filling.” A greasy chicken burger and vegetarian dumplings. Won’t be visiting again - ever. 3 stars max for the meal and the big old helping of attitude that comes...
Read moreAnother review where I wish I could do 4.5 stars.
The Beet was good. We would return, but have a couple of wishes.
We ordered the Brussel sprouts, which were good overall, but would have been better with more flakiness and a bit less central mush.
I had the Korean BBQ quesadilla which was the best of what we ordered. It was fantastic and the scallion pancake as “tortilla” was superb. Loved the pork. The menu indicated the side of slaw would have pineapple in it, but I didn’t detect it. And I could have done with less BBQ sauce (too much on the top). But overall I loved the dish.
My wife got the chicken burger and it was tasty. While you might appreciate a good amount of meat, the burger was really too thick, especially in comparison to a brioche bun that got soggy way too quickly. Her sweet potato fries were excellent, perfectly crispy.
Service was okay. It was busy, but could have been better. The drink (water) service was great, always coming around to refill which is good for me as I drink a lot. But we waited a bit to get the check. Not a huge...
