"The Bowl I ordered was delicious! The mixed greens were nice n crunchy, chow mein was soft and a nice combination with the orange chicken which, we all know the orange chicken.
And the Hot & Sour Soup nice and hot! "
"The Japanese noodles that I believe was supposed to be my Chinese chow mein, weren't even cooked. They were still crunchy! I paid extra to get shrimp and walnuts or cashews. I got exactly 3 shrimp. My entire plate was filled with uncooked Japanese Ramen and fried rice. Quite disappointing, however, my wife had the best comment of the night.......... you get what you pay for!
The fast food quality of this restaurant will most likely be next off of our ordering list. Extremely low quality, proportions, and horrible online service. We were limited to only one package of sauce per order. "FAIL!""

"Food was tasty. There wasn't much broccoli in the teriyaki chicken plate. Would have liked more of that. Dumplings were tasty also. Cucumber salad had good flavor, but wasn't as crisp, maybe because it warmed up in transport. Enjoyed all of the dishes."
"We have ordered here a lot but tonight everything was so bad.
The basil we received was rotten and the shrimp pho had no flavor it was just water. The shrimp was also changed from real prawn style to frozen bagged shrimp.
It's gone way downhill."

"I absolutely love this spot! But I have one very important public service announcement: if you’re going to make pizza this good, you are legally obligated to serve amazing ranch. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Pizza Constitution.
We come to Santa Cruz from the Bay Area every year, and this is officially my new go-to pizza spot. The portions are generous, everything is super fresh, and the pizza is incredible. The ranch, though… it just isn’t living up to the pizza’s potential. Upgrade the ranch, and you’ll have a customer who’s never leaving (or at least never eating pizza anywhere else in Santa Cruz)!"
"I wish I could've taken a credit-worthy photo but honestly this pizza existed for the drive over and then MAYBE 10 mins more. The Lemon Pepperoni 14" was so good--we inhaled the entire thing at a shameful rate of speed. Generous toppings, ingredients were all super fresh and good quality, crust was absolute perfection, and the ranch was great too! 10/10 will be back again!"

"The pasries taste great! The quality us suffering in terms of size and my apple crumb was 65% was so dense and apple was 35%. My morning buns lacked the nice sweet glaze that made the crust crunchy and the size looked like half of what I normally get. I may have to get them at the Farmers Market where I can qualit control my choices. So sad- I told my friends about this place and how good it is. "

"Overall the quality was fine but just not that great when there are so many other better Taqueria's in Santa Cruz. Most of the meat was fairly bland, the proportions of toppings to tortilla were just wrong, and it just left a lot to be desired. The Carnita's was probably the best of the ones we got, but it was overshadowed but the insane amount of cheese melted betweeen the 2 corn torillas (what is this Taco Bell?) and the plethora of cabbage. The highlight of the meal was the chips and the salsas. Both were very good and probably would have been happier with just that. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Not neccisarily bad but very lack luster and dissapointing."

"Get the final word with tuna, very good
Miso is large and delicious-more like a vegetable broth than miso broth but it is still very good "
"The Rainbow Roll was large and beautifully made. The Negi Saba was very good and the mackerel tasted very fresh. I supplemented with brown rice and it was a little dry but I enjoyed having the option, as I'm on a very restricted diet. The Sake nigiri was a show stopper and absolutely delicious. You also get a large quantity of Miso Soup (Vegetable Broth)for the price. The prices are a little high but well worth it in value."

"Hey! I just wanted to share how amazing the Galbi / 갈비 was. It had this incredible flavor that I can't stop thinking about. Plus, the edamame was a perfect snack; it really hit the spot! I also had the rice, which was cooked just right, but to be honest, I didn't even need it since the Galbi / 갈비 came with its own rice. It all complemented each other so well! If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend trying it out! You won’t regret it!"
