“One of my favorite spots downtown to grab dinner or a drink and a quick bite! Good vibes all around and great food and drinks!! (ask about the drink specials!). Also the donuts are heavenly they melt in your mouth🖤”
“We wanted to try something a bit different and this place did not disappoint. We tried several dishes and everything was spectacular. Super flavorful. And save room for dessert. The outdoor seating was great.. covered, comfortable and could lightly hear the music.”
“i've only been once, but i'm not sure i'd be willing to give it another go. i got there with a few friends and was seated immediately. all of us ordered some sort of ramen. the food took a bit of time, and when it came out, i wasn't super pleased. the ramen i ordered was $17 and came with one soft boiled egg, noodles, fried chicken, corn, and a few pieces of seaweed. for ramen that expensive i was hoping there'd be a few more toppings. the broth was very, very salty. i wasn't the biggest fan of the chicken and requested tofu instead to put in my ramen. it took a while for my tofu to arrive, and when it did, it was two small triangles. when i received my bill, the side of tofu was $5. the staff were all lovely, though. overall, i really want to like this restaurant, i think it has such a cool theme and vibe, but due to the food and the pricing, i doubt i'd return.”
“Would recommend making a reservation. We sat at the bar, where the service was quick and the bartender was very attentive. The food was okay, however, the fried chicken tasted a bit stale, like it wasn’t fresh. Portions are on the smaller side, so it’s more of a place to chat and enjoy a small bite rather than have a full meal.”
“For what I ordered, I don’t feel the $71 total was justified. The 6 chicken wings were $12, the tiger noodles were $15, the tuna taco was $11, and the pineapple drink was $8. I’m not sure of the exact price of the Painkiller, but overall the cost did not match the value or experience. The service was slower than expected, especially since the restaurant did not appear to be very busy, despite the server mentioning otherwise. There were several open seats available. While I understand seating can sometimes be limited, we were initially placed at the bar on small chairs with dishes stacked on the counter in clear view, which was not appealing. We decided to move outside near the heaters, but there was no heat on, which made it uncomfortable. I also noticed that everything we ordered was fried, with no grilled or healthier alternatives offered. Additionally, all of the food arrived before the specialty beverages, which disrupted the flow of the meal. Overall, this was not a good experience for me personally. I expected better service, better seating accommodations, and better value for the amount spent.”
