"The Pad Woon Sen was one of the best dishes I have ever had!! The glass noodles were perfectly cooked and there was enough pork that I will have a bbq pork sandwich for lunch tomorrow. The veggies were abundant and also perfectly cooked. So I guess you have figured out that I loved the food and will definitely order again. By the way, I am a retired Foods Teacher. I taught for 27 years. "
"They provide good size portions. The Crab Rangoon (6 Pieces) are amazing! The Hawaiian Fried Rice is good as well, but has little to no spice. For a curry I would have expected more. The curry flavor was very subtle. The same goes for the Pad Thai. I even requested it spicy. This leaves the food tasting ok, but not great. I think if they added some spice or more seasoning to their food it would be a lot tastier. So, if you don't like spicy food, this will be a good option for you. If you want spicy though, be prepared to have to season your food yourself. "

"Noodles and Company never lets me down. Japanese Pan Noodles have an amazing flavor and is a great combo with the veggies and herbs. Arrived fresh and hot and is an average/good portion size. Potstickers are always yummy with the dipping sauce. Will definitely order both items again."

"Phat Phat is amazing. They have a wide selection of Asian specialties with something for everyone. This time I had the Stir Fried Kwe Tiaw with Shrimp and the hot and sour soup. The Kwe Tiaw is delicious. Many items on the menu have a fair amount of heat to them but the Kwe Tiaw is not at all spicy with a great complex flavor way beyond the average noodle dish you might find around. The hot and sour soup was very flavorful. My table also shared some sweet bao for dessert. We tried strawberry, pear and chocolate. They were all very tasty and a nice treat to share."
"Tofu Tots were Amazing! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and so delicious. Lemon Xiao Long Bao ( 4 Pcs ) were delicious as always and probably my favorite. I love the flavor: sweet, lemony, tangy, the juicieness is a bright sunny pop of flavor. I had both the tots and the dumplings with some of the Steamed Jasmine Rice. The rice is so good, way better than other places. The Wonton Soup i am having tomorrow, but I have had it before and just love it. Though I do wish the portion size was bigger. Or there was an option to get a larger size, rather than purchasing more. The broth is packed with flavor and the wontons are delicious and you get plenty in the soup. The portion sizes of everything are great and everything is so fresh and clearly made with top quality ingredients. This place is my favorite, I could eat here every day."

El mejor arroz frito y pork belly que he probado en años ha sido el de este restaurante soy delicada para comer no me gusta cualquier cosa consideren este comentario demasiado honesto no se van a arrepentir."
"After living in South Korea for over a year, i grew very accustomed to eating different asian foods. Specifically, Chicken Katsu Japanese Curry! I couldn't find it for sooo long when coming back to the states. Zen Ramen and Grill's Chicken Katsu with Japanese Curry is DELICIOUS. The portion size is perfectly filling, and the curry itself is dripping in authentic flavor. You can tell everything is made in house and to order, very fresh. I am absolutely hooked on it. I would 1000% order again."

"Our meals from Tonichi always arrive hot, fresh, packaged well with consistent portions. The chicken ramen is a favorite simple noodle and broth for kids, as is the edamame, the pork gyoza (pot stickers), yakitori is a must (glazed chicken on a stick), and we are a huge fan of the rice bowls, especially the chicken and egg one-Oyakodon which is pure comfort food! I only wish they would provide a gluten free option."

"Both ramen dishes were excellent, and the Kara-age was cooked to perfection. The spice level was slightly higher than expected with the Nagoya Ramen order, and Mild spice might be a bit more biting than you bargained for. The whole order was top notch. "

"Finally found a real Chinese restaurant in the suburbs. Food was amazing. The rice and egg rolls reminded me of Hong Kong restaurant I grew up with in the 90s. My husband is from New York and he always missed the food from there and he loved it. Definitely will order again "
"Hate to leave bad reviews but their beef chop suey just isn't good. 80%+ of their beef is inedible. Just fatty to the point of can't even chew it. Like biting into it feels like biting into an eraser but...harder? The sauce also tastes nothing like any other beef chop suey sauce I've had. It was strangely thick, almost gooey at first. And just had an odd tang to it. Mixing with rice helped but it wouldn't have been edible otherwise. I will say the vegetables were cooked well and you got a good amount. It also came with a pop and an egg roll for the lunch special for a really good price. I wish the the meat could have been edible and the sauce was better. Maybe just an off day? Never experienced that before with a Chinese restaurant. This is my first time ordering here. Sorry to add photos of partially chewed food but those are just some of the pieces I tried to eat and literally couldn't chew."
