"Had high hopes for empty bowl since it was the top rated Thai. We had the drunken noodles, Pad Thai Khao San Road, and the Thai Vegetable Egg Rolls. Egg rolls were 10/10 The noodle dishes were kinda bland for Thai. The pad Thai had minimal seasoning and the drunken noodles were just fine. Highly recommend the other Thai in the area."

"Seoul Sizzle Rice tastes awesome. Rice is in a perfect balance, not too firm nor too squish. Sauce looks spicy but is actually flavorful and mix nicely with rice, beef and cheese. Suprisingly fresh veggies. Overall perfect bowl."
"Seoulmate Kitchen has quickly become one of our favorites. My husband and I can usually share our plate because it's enough food for both of us. Not only is the food so fresh and flavorful and delicious but the cafe is out of this world. We have tried almost every drink and there hasn't been one we didn't like.

"Best pho in town. I was really surprised by their bahnmi sandwiches as they are amazing. I've never tasted anything like that at any other restaurant. Their new menu of Korean dishes including bulgogi, stew, and curry are simply delicious. The flavors are a welcome taste to our little city. Highly recommended as all of their dishes, including pizza are made with wonderful care and flavors. "
"I've been wanting to try the Banh Mi from here for a long time, and finally got a chance to today, it is absolutely delicious and well balanced, the only issue i have is how small it is for the price and I would have liked some more fresh herbs on it. the Mango Salad is super fresh and crunchy, and has a nice amount of spice to it, love the peanuts for crunch. and the Zucchini Cheese Blossom are very well frie d, but could have used some more seasoning, it tasted very bland on its own."

"The last time I had poke house it was great! Very fresh and the rice was perfect. Unfortunately I've noticed that they are a bit inconsistent, my rice was hard and the tuna was very fishy tasting (more than usual) portion is great but I don't want to gamble everytime I order whether or not it'll be the same :/"
