I had the buttered egg noodles, Korean BBQ meatballs and cheesy garlic bread.
The buttered egg noodles were excellent. No shortage of butter and well seasoned with salt and parmesan. Would definitely have this dish again.
The Korean BBQ meatballs were made from ground meat that was obviously completely overworked so that the interior texture is completely homogenous and rubbery. This is the last thing you want with a meatball. It should be worked as little as possible to get to a round shape and that's it. I also haven't looked into it, but I would guess that the meatball is pork and not beef, or maybe a blend with mostly pork. The sweet Korean BBQ sauce tasted great, but the meat was unpleasant. Would not recommend.
The cheesy garlic bread was just small ovals of bread with cheese melted on top. I did not taste any garlic at all. Mine was also burned to blackness on the bottom and was essentially ruined. I would not recommend this item.
They also do not have sweet tea. Yes they have sugar packets but that isn't going to dissolve in room temperature tea. Also even trying to do that would necessitate pouring tea into ones cup first then dumping ice into the drink which as you may know, is not ideal if you don't like your drink all over your hand.
On the surface their menu looks fantastic. I was very excited to try this place and I envisioned myself becoming a regular because the odd mix of items they serve were all things I really enjoy. I'm not sure if this will be my reality though. I will probably give them another chance and try some of the other menu options but I have to say I'm...

I was so hungry, I wanted to order two of their customer favorites.
The lady that helped me order, was so helpful and knowledgeable about every dish on the menu. She helped me narrow down to few best options.
I ordered the New, “Bulgogi Steak Mac & Cheese” and “Pad Thai.”
Let’s start with Steak Mac & Cheese. It’s so unconventional yet so watery and delicious. The perfect combination between the seared large steak pieces, very creamy and cheesy noodles, make this for a great meal.
Pad Thai was also surprisingly delicious. I’ve visited the home country who pride themselves in amazing customer service and perfecting the Pad Thai dish. It’s very difficult, in my opinion to duplicate those great ingredients and texture that Pad Thai is so famously known for.
After visiting Thailand several times, for two weeks at a time, I ate mostly Pad Thai, from different vendors. I’d say, my taste buds have a some experience in delicious Pad Thai. Having said that this place nailed it.
After I placed my To-Go order, I asked them if I could take pictures of the two dishes before I get them To-Go. They did a great job bringing it in a tray. Each dish presentation was top notch. I felt like I was at luxury restaurant.
If you’re looking for something different and authentic, you can’t go wrong with this spot. Their customer...
Read moreGreat food, fresh and fast. The people are super nice and helpful to fix any issues but every single time I've gone here (at least a dozen times in the last 6 months or so) I experience a problem with my order. Idk if it's a staffing issue or lack of training or what. Either they charge us wrong, or mess up our order. Every single time. If you catch it and complain they'll fix it no problem but don't usually offer anything extra for your inconvenience like a free cookie or drink, which I thought was common practice in the restaurant industry. Anyway, I love the food but always hesitate to eat here because of the hassle. If I really want spaghetti I can go to Fazoli's in fairview, excellent service there, or if I want Asian I hit up Saigon in Belleville, never had anything but exceptional experiences. There's just other places to eat that don't make such a habit of screwing up all the time. Proceed with caution, and always check your receipt to ensure you weren't overcharged. Check your food before taking it if you order take out, they really like to forget to give you the meat you ordered...
