Ninja Bubble Tea-Ramen- Pho-Korean BBQ Restaurant-Mozzarella Corn dogs--#1 Pumpkin Spice Chai Bubble Tea +46 Flavors. — Restaurant in Stamford

Decor was a bit, homely. Was pretty all over the place.

Think the menu should be shrunk down to cater something they excel at. I think restaurants should be places people go for specific dishes, 'the best of X' sort of deal. No one goes to a Chinese place for pizza sort of thing. This place probably could do this with the assorted pancake or bahn mi.

Had the bibimbap, assorted pancake, fruit smoothie and bulgogi beef banh mi. Liked the pancake and banh mi. The bibimbap was okay. Each of the sides around the rice were kind of bland. Like they were a bit old so the flavor became mild. Could use sharper kimchi, more sesame flavor on the bean sprouts, more acidic pickles. Thankful for the gochujaang, it sort of needed it.

The bubble teas were okay. The bubble weren't fresh so they didn't have the supple chewiness stores that special in bubble tea only strive for. I think the store tries to do too much so the quality suffers. Should just focus on a few things that are fresh.

Really I don't know what kind of store this is. Is it bubble tea? Vietnamese? Korean? Japanese?

I put in the place in my Google maps and the my car rambles on that directions to 'Ramen-Pho-Korean BBQ- Mozarella Corn dogs, #1 Pumpkin spice' etc etc. That's too much. That's not even a name.

All for expansion to cater to audiences, but you can't please everyone.

People go to bubble tea stores for good drinks, fresh tea and bubbles, not syrup and powder. People go to Korean BBQ restaurants for good Korean. And Vietnamese restaurants for good bahn mi and pho. You don't go to Chinese for pizza.

Service was quick and nice. Very friendly people persons. If the restaurant is doing great (as suggested by such high star rating and number of reviews) then great; but in my opinion, the huge menu suggests that the restaurant is trying to reach other audiences to expand business. I think it should just be a really good X store. People will go to the really good X store when...

Uodate: $3 for tiny cups of Banchan is ridiculous, and the bean sprouts tasted on the verge of going bad. Kimball used the wrong rice and the rolls fell apart, but the vegan flavoring was okay. Tteokbokki was way too sweet. Mung bean pancake was extremely dry. Bulgogi summer roll had lots of fatty, gristly pieces. Original banh mi had more meat than last time, but no jalapeños, no pickled vegetables, no dimension. This will be the last time I order food from here - I'm sure they do drinks better.

I really wanted to like this place: I was so excited to find a banh mi shop nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the space is cute if a little cluttered. The lychee tea was the best part of my order, and it was delicious: sweet/tart and refreshing. The shrimp summer rolls were tasty but appeared to have been rolled by someone who doesn't know how to make them: they were loose, sloppy, and fell apart with the first bite. The shrimp had a barbecue seasoning that felt out of place.

The banh mi, sadly, was just a disaster. The only thing it had going for it was that the bread was fresh. The pork filling was very scant (even though it's 3 separate kinds) so the proportions were off, and there was barely a swipe of pate on the bread. There were no pickled vegetables, just wilted spinach and a slice of cucumber: the sandwich overall was lacking in flavor and had a funky, fishy flavor to it that I couldn't place the source of, but that was really unappealing. There was no cilantro, no shredded pickled carrots, nothing to make the sandwich "zing." I'm wondering if maybe the original isn't a popular choice and other fillings are better, but the problem was as much about the vegetables as it was the protein.

I will probably try another sandwich from here, but I'm super disappointed that it won't be my go-to place for a traditional banh mi. Please let me know if you guys decide to re-work this, and I'll come...

As a ramen enthusiast, I was excited to try out their offerings, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations.

Firstly, the menu seemed cluttered with too many disparate options, which made me question the focus and expertise of the kitchen. I believe a restaurant excels when it specializes in perfecting a few signature dishes rather than attempting to cover a wide range of cuisines.

While the food was passable, it lacked the authenticity and depth of flavor I've come to expect from a good bowl of ramen. It's evident that the kitchen could benefit from honing their craft and concentrating on delivering consistently delicious dishes.

However, what truly marred the experience was the attitude of the staff. The lady serving us exhibited a noticeable lack of friendliness and professionalism. A warm and welcoming atmosphere can greatly enhance the dining experience, but unfortunately, her demeanor left much to be desired.

Furthermore, upon reading other negative reviews, I noticed that the owner's responses were unacceptable and unprofessional. It's concerning when a business owner fails to acknowledge valid criticism and instead reacts defensively. Constructive feedback should be embraced as an opportunity for improvement, not dismissed or met with hostility.

Overall, my visit was underwhelming. For those seeking authentic and delicious ramen, I'd recommend exploring other options in the area. With some improvements in both the quality of food and service, and a more professional approach to addressing feedback, this establishment could potentially regain its footing in the competitive...
