"Yaki Udon was very seasoned and flavorful. The size was good and the noodles melt in your mouth! Chow Faan is always tasty when I order--it never fails"
"We have ordered from this restaurant many times before and the portion sizes and the quality was way better. The chicken curry used to be almost a full container worth of curry and is now a quarter of the size and is not even a full meal for one person, but costs as much as a full dinner item. Protein is lacking in quantity for most of the items we ordered as everything was mostly made of carbs. The food still taste great, but the portions are so small now, that it doesn't justify the cost of the food items anymore. We were also missing items from our order, and the food was an hour late. I don't think this was the fault of door dash but of Hawkers. This is the only restaurant we order from that goes way over its estimated delivery/pickup. Due to the high costs and other similar restaurants offering more for your money we probably won't be returning."

"the Pad Thai is delicious!!! the noodles weren't overcooked and it had a great consistency. the Side Fried Rice was also good, it kind of tasted like it was smoked/grilled which added to the flavor. the Red Curry had a nice smell and tasted just as good. overall, i'd give my experience a 10/10!"
"Tom yum was way too oily and had peppers which is unusual. Rice paper rolls completely fall apart when you try to pick them up, so its like eating salad. Also, the dip was too little like only 1/4 of the container was full and it was not enough. Taste was okay. "

I get the lentils, tomato salad, and cabbage a few times a month and it never disappoints. And probably the best prices/portion sizes out of any Ethiopian in Middle Tennessee"

"Naan is delicious, but one $3 order is only one wheel. Because the order of Binyani is so generous, and is spicy, you'll need 3 a la carte orders of Naan to go with it. It's good for 3 people, or three meals for one person. Taste is excellent of both items."
"I had the Mongolian lunch with fried rice- it was wonderful! Was ready within 10 minutes, was very hot despite it taking me a few minutes to get to the location. I thought the portion size was large for lunch (I have extra and have to set it aside for later) so it was great value. The fried rice was my favorite part I thought it was very fresh with all the added veggies like carrots and bell peppers compared to other local places, the Mongolian beef was also great cuts of meat and wasn't overcooked or chewy it was very tender and seasoned well. You could probably add a note if you want it spicy. The staff was very friendly when I entered! My only constructive feedback would be to have somewhere on the menu what the soup of the day would be? (Or maybe I missed that info.) I wasn't sure what I would be getting for the soup of the day but I did really love it (whatever it was) it was very spicy which I liked in combination with the sweeter Mongolian beef."
