"Everything was well packaged, and it was easy to keep the orders apart. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp was well done with the shrimp and sauce in one bowl and the rice separate so you can combine them after you get them, keeping the rice nice and fluffy until you are ready to eat it. The Chicken Lo Mein noodles were nice and firm not too hard or overly mushy, and very bouncy when you bit into them. The pieces of chicken were hearty as well. The Scallion Pancake was a perfect way to start the meal. We will most likely be adding this store to our favorites."
"Tiny portions. Barely any broccoli or sauce was put in the container. I counted 3 peices. And a very small container. Most places also offer rice with it but default but this one doesn't. Taste great though they are very stingy with portions. I orded twice just to see."

"Tried this place for the first time for a new palate change and I am so glad I did! Portions were immaculate for the price and everything was seasoned well and tasted very fresh. Chicken Tikka Bowl with the mango salsa added into it? *chefs kiss* and the Mini Samosas are so cute and tiny but mighty with flavor! I was debating between the saffron rice vs. the curry lemon one- if you want something refreshing with a nice flavor profile, definitely go for the curry lemon rice. Will most definitely order from here again."
"Incredibly small servings, very little meat. Don't believe the random Rhode Island instagram 'influencer' that sent you here. Upcharged my girlfriend for maybe 2 tbsp of avocado, Fresh Mango Lassi was okay, definitely does contain alphonso mango based on the taste, but not much. 3/10, Curry Walla in North Providence is better."

"I have not willingly ordered Chipotle in years. The flavor fell off and then Bajas came out so I swore I'd never order chipotle again. But.. I was surprised. I kept seeing these tik tok videos of the VIRAL BURRITO BOWL. They followed all my toppings to a T so I was impressed. Flavor on the chicken is actually really good. The only downfall was that they *did not have nor do they carry, at my location, the vinaigrette* which is essential but I'm still satisfied! Thanks chipotle."
"for the price you pay for the Burrito you don't get nearly what you used to get with portions. I find it hard to justify spending nearly 13$, on a Burrito that looks the size you'd get from taco bel. I'm not sure if it's this stores management or if it's corporate calling the shits on doing such small portions but the Chipotle i remember would give you a Burrito that you could hardly finish and it took more then 2 peices of goil to wrap"

"Sirloin and green beans are super tasty and made well! Mashed very hot but lacking a bit of flavor. Overall extremely happy with my order. Price was great too everywhere else wants an arm and a leg."
"I've tried to DoorDash from Applebee's a few times so at this point, it's on me! Over $50 for a tiny piece of steak that was supposed to be rare but was well done and two sides. Not gonna lie, love the garlic green beans, but other than that, I could live without the whole meal! I will definitely not order from there again... every time there is an issue!! "

"Very enjoyable and filling. The portion of chicken was generous with a nice coating of sauce. The sauce was sweet and tangy, with heat that subtly builds after each bite. The flavor was enhanced by the pickled toppings. The rose/part fries were crispy, tasty, and flavorful with a nice side."

"The spring rolls and chili dipping sauce were delicious. The Panang curry with chicken was OK. Not much chicken or peppers for the price. I've had much better. Probably won't be a repeat orderer of Wonder's Thai."

"Absolutely a 10/10 if you love quailty guilty pleasure foods. The dogs are more sausage / kielbasa than traditional hotdog. Nonetheless, the toppings are delicious, the dog is cooked to perfection, and the fried Mac and Cheese Croquettes are a perfect staple to compliment your main dog. Will visit again! "

"I have tried general tofu at a lot of places, and Sakura really hits this dish outa the park and is the best yet! Tried it for first time last night, perfectly cut/fried not to soft and mushy not soggy at all - just perfectly made! The chef knows what he is doing. And the sauce was delicious with a hint of spice, I loved it. I also appreciate the fresh brocolli they make sure to include in it. Also got the veggi fried rice and crab Rangoon . Both tasted fresh and not too greasy like I have experienced at other restaurants . Only reason I'm not giving five stars is bc I got Japanese soda and I could not for the life of me get the packaging of it open, and it cost me 5 dollars for that one tiny soda lol. it's just a strange packaging and not very clear since instructions are in Japanese how to get it open and the bottle is glass - not really anyone's fault but it was def a bummer to not get to drink it w my meal. Other than that the whole meal itself was chefs kiss and I think this place is worth the money bc servings were fair, and food was delicious . Thank you Sakura for caring about what you dish out! It shows ! "
"I had some really good orders here in the past, but my last order was really poor quality. I paid nearly$20 for "toro" and received two small thinly sliced pieces of fish that were drenched in a mystery sauce and I think cooked? Made no sense. Tried it and the pieces were tough in texture and tasted off. Immediately put aside. The other part of the order was Spicy Maki Combo and it was completely tasteless. No spiciness and genuinely unsure what type of fish they used because it was such small amounts. Tasted like the fried crunchy bits that sometimes come on sushi - broke one open and it literally was nothing but the crunchies...which explains why none of it had any flavor whatsoever. Disappointed."

"I am very happy they were able to accommodate how I cannot digest sesames. I love that they put eggs in their rice, slightly dry but I did order super late (10pm). I will try them again at an earlier time of day. The crab rangoons were surprisingly delicious. Slightly disappointed that the Japanese Gyoza is deep fried-however they taste so freakin' good!! Will be trying more items in the future, first time ever ordering. "
"We enjoyed majority of our food order. The generals chicken and shrimp were ok but the red coloring was a bit off putting. Not spicy at all, as we are used to. It was more salty than anything. Flavoring was almost like spare ribs sauce. The soups were fantastic. The 1. Chicken Chow Mein was fantastic! The best I have had in a long time. But more crunchy noodles were needed for this order. One bag was included but needed at least another bag. We had to get more the following day at the grocery store to finish it up. The Bento box dinner was pretty good, good flavoring and seaaoning. Freshness seemed apparent except for the fried rice, it was a bit stale. White rice was fresh and fluffy even the next day. Will definitely recommend this place if you have a craving for Chinese. 11. Dumplings (6) were good as well. I would order from again for a large order."
