Love this place ❤️ The food and ambiance is awesome.

Great little spot in Lexington for Thai food. Had the Drunken Noodles with Tofu which was phenomenal, nice thick noodles and huge chunks of tofu with a good mix of veggies. On the menu it was rated a two pepper spicy level, I'd probably ask them to pump that up a notch if you like "medium" spice levels.

Entree prices were very reasonable for the amount of food! The decor and atmosphere was very fun as well, cool murals on the wall. Seating seems a bit tight, but still plenty of room.

Amaaaazing ginger tea, and the softest toilet paper of any restaurant. And, the food and ambiance was great!

Great little place with pretty quick service. Dishes were good and they had a great variety.

Diner Review №8

The Thai food here is so good, brought a lot of my friends here and they all loved it.

I usually order pork bbq sticky rice but this time went with something new and I love it - The seafood bucket was great! My partner went with his favorite Indonesian fried rice spiciest level.

They help you customize your spicy level and remember all the don’t s. So I really appreciate it.

I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Awesome Thai food. Great service. The chicken pad tai is fantastic. Chicken satay is also awesome here as expected

Diner Review №14

Great food and service in a welcoming environment.

Diner Review №15

Very good curry: avocado curry with shrimp and chicken; pad Thai was too sweet. Excellent service.

Diner Review №16

Our first Thai cuisine experience and it was incredible! I recommend the Avocado Curry and vegetable rolls.

Diner Review №17

I did take out , food was horrible. Chicken was dry and hard. Shrimp tasted like it was just thawed and added to the curry. Pad thai was very very sweet. I will recommend dine in but not take out.

The best Thai food I’ve had. I eat here at least 2x month. Very good.

This is dependable, quick and tasty Thai place in the center of Lexington. Food was dropped in 10 minutes of ordering and the drinks are of reasonable quality. Had the avocado curry and a Mai Tai and look forward to trying more.

Great place for Thai food. Actually, Great place for dinner period.

Diner Review №40

To start with the ambience was good. Coming to food, I ordered Larb Moo which is full of smelly fish sauce or some weird sauce. If you like the smell go ahead with it. For main course I did order Kia kling which is not the best. It comes with handful of raw peppercorns and made the whole dish pepperish.. if you like good pepper you can have it. You might find some better options.

This is a regular place for my friends and I for our lunch hangouts. It tends to get busy so reservations are recommended! Lively atmosphere, perhaps a bit loud.

For food, the presentation is pretty and colorful. When they say avocado, they mean it! Take advantage of the summer and order a pop with your iced coffee :) Food tends to be a bit sweet. Good GF options.

Diner Review №44

My coworker and I ordered a lot of food for our company lunch. There were about 8 big trays. We went to pick up the food today around 11:30am. My coworker went inside the restaurant while I was waiting in the car in the street parking spot about 500ft from the establishment. My coworker asked the worker (?) if he or she could just help carry the food to the car. The person immediately asked “are you going to tip me? If not, I’m not going to help”. My coworker was stunned as the person refused to help. First time ordering from the place and never again. Not sure if that person was just a staff or owner. I already told the rest of my company to never give this place a business again.

Diner Review №46

It was our first time to dine in. The service was very good, staff was friendly. The food was very good. Their salad was extremely fresh with avocados, melon and greens. Fresh lettuce cand shrimp filled wraps were good. The pad Thai was good.

Diner Review №48

The green curry branzino was amazing!

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

Pleasantly surprised! Great food, good service in a small venue. Portions are large so I recommend getting a few dishes and sharing!

Diner Review №51

My friend and I had super bad and disappointing experience at this restaurant. We arrived at around 6:10 and were catching up after not seeing each other for a while. However, at 6:50, the server began asking if we needed our food packed to go while obviously he saw us still eating! Around 7:10, Despite indicating that we were still eating, they abruptly took away my friend's soup without asking. After 10 min another female server rudely asked if we wanted to order more, which we declined, and promptly gave us the check while snatching away the menu. The restaurant wasn't even full, with many empty tables around us, making their rush to clear our table confusing and upsetting. Is there an unspoken time limit here? Have to finished eat within 60 min? Eventually we left 7:30. It's disappointing to feel unwelcome and rushed when dining out. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to others.

Diner Review №52

Super cute atmosphere in the heart of Lexington! The menu is expansive with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. The drinks are very fun and the atmosphere was casual and relaxed. The food was pretty good, portions were generous and the presentation was beautiful!

Diner Review №55

I ordered the Thai iced tea, which was the highlight of the evening dinner. Wait staff was not the friendliest. Dinner was the drunken noodle with tofu and egg. The noodles were grossly overcooked, and the added vegetables were too raw. Tofu was almost non existent. Dessert was sticky rice and mango. It was good but sloppily served with the rice glopped onto a banana leave. Absolutely no elegance to the meal for the location and price. If one is familiar with true Thai cuisine and hospitality, I do not recommend this restaurant. Ambiance, noisy.

Diner Review №56

Atmosphere was very nice, food was good, drinks were AMAZING! One of the best cocktails I've ever had. Service was horrible but we could see that it was JUST our waitress. All the others were very attentive to their tables/customers. Unfortunately, we had to ask another waitress to help us numerous times. Left the bartender a nice tip!

Diner Review №57

We got charged with gratuity for 5 people which included our 17 month old.He was not even served anything and was not even attended to and we were told he was charged because he is also human.
Also the server mixed our order of vegan and chicken and later refused to admit her mistake.

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Cozy and intimate. Spicy pad Thai with crispy chicken was so good. Definitely recommend the spicy garlic chili as something to add on top

Diner Review №60

Food was good but not great. The fresh rolls surprised me because they only contained lettuce. I’m used to noodles and shrimp as well as lettuce in fresh rolls. The Pad Thai with chicken had more fish sauce than I am used to and the noodles were unusually thin. The Green Curry with beef was more watery than I am used to but the beef wasn’t tough and the curry had a good flavor.

The restaurant was nicely decorated and was packed so it’s obviously popular with the locals. Service was nice.

Good food. Good location. Clean & comfortable dining with reasonable prices for a Thai restaurant in Lexington, Massachusetts. Recommended.

Diner Review №68

We reached at 8.45, 45 mins before closing, knowing it's not the most optimal time. We were told that the kitchen will take the last order by 9.15. this was okay with us. We placed our complete order within 10 mins and our food came within 5 mins of that. This should have been our first red flag regarding the quality of food. We were asked for last orders at that time, 15 mins earlier than what was told to us when we arrived.

By 9.10, when we had barely started eating, we were given the check, and in 5 mins we were asked to pay for the check because they wanted to shut down their computer. Mind you this was 15 mins before closing. Soon all the wait staff huddled on a free table to start eating their dinner, when there were 2 small tables and 2 large tables and few people at the bar still finishing their meals.

Overall the service seemed to be very hurried and unprofessional, especially for a place that seemed to be more formal.

Coming to the food, we ordered 5 things - Bang bang cauliflower, vegetable emerald Gyoza, chicken masaman curry, spicy basil fried rice and spicy pad Thai.
The only decent option was spicy basil fried rice. Everything else was mediocre to stale. The pad Thai was very sweet as opposed to spicy and the chicken in the masaman curry was stale as if cooked the previous day.

Overall extremely disappointed in service and food. Would not recommend visiting. Don't know how they are rated so well

The only good thing about the place was the atmosphere and the presentation

Diner Review №69

Good food but horrible service which made it a very bad experience.
We felt very rushed even though we came well 55 mins before closing time and even asked them if it’s okay. We received the bill within 5 mins of beginning to eat - which is okay but we were asked to pay asap whilst we were eating. No one came to refill our water and everything was very rushed. Our dishes came out literally within 3-4 mins of ordering and my husband questioned the chicken in his curry. I will NOT be coming back.

Diner Review №71

Drunken noodles (or pad see ew)are geeat but tge beef is not great next time will try the chicken

Diner Review №72

Ginger tea was fab. Ran out of Maine beer. Fresh spring rolls were disappointing with little flavor, mostly lettuce with mint leaves on the outside & a thick sticky sauce with crushed peanut on top that was just ok & had to ask for 2 additional containers as portion was skimpy. Dumplings were average. Massaman curry was tasty. Sauce was a bit thin over the tasty rice. Curry was seved in an elevated crock pot designed to have heat source underneath, which was non existant. Not as good as previous Thai place there but will try again & pick different items. Seating is a bit on top of each other but expected at these small places.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Nice place, parking available, decent food, good service. Tends to get busy over lunch hours. Try to be there before 12 pm to secure seating during weekdays.

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in MA! The food is amazing and they have amazing Pad Thai. If you come to this restaurant you must order the Cherry Soda Pop. It is a tall glass of homemade cherry soda with ice and a cherry ice pop in the top. The service is amazing and the food comes very quickly and the waiters/ waitresses are very nice. The atmosphere is amazing with very homey decorations. If you come to Lexington come to this restaurant!

Diner Review №80

Looking up the menu on line to see what to order for lunch. The price look on the higher side, but it’s can be do-able for once in a long while. As soon as I come across the item ‘hot sauce for $1.00,’ it starting to turn me off. But I will go eat there today, because my daughter wanted to try the food here. We’ll see. The (pre) first impress is already dingy.
I will return to edit this review after the real experience took place. แล้วค่อยว่ากันนะจ๊ะ
……………………………………………………………..

Well well well we found the food was very very good. My seafood mi sua pad cha stir fry was good (but a tiny bit on the dry side).
Coconut ice cream was yummy good. (But didn’t care for dry grated coconut inside.) If they could replace it with sliced young coconut meat inside it would have been lovely.

Due to high price, we may not be coming often. Probably return next year.

Well done. I give them A-

Wonderful place! They were even very accommodating of our ten month old. It’s rare you get a family friendly restaurant that is still trendy, good food, and good vibes. Thank you to our server, we did not get your name but he has blonde and black hair and wore glasses!

Diner Review №89

Amazing flavor!

Diner Review №90

Loved this restaurant & the atmosphere but seating can be super tricky & tight… absolutely loved our dinner & will return for a definite great meal & service!!

Diner Review №91

Thai restaurant in Lexington Center. The space was renovated a couple years back and still looks new. I had mango curry and it was delicious. The service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant was nearly full on a Friday at 6pm.

Diner Review №92

Be prepared to tip 18% minimum even for a party of 4. Food was average at best. Spending 200 dollars and tipping 25 dollars was not good enough for them. Waitress came to table to rudely complain about tip given. Terrible business practice, owner should pay employees more if they don’t appreciate 25 dollar tips. Even left saying have a good night and lady at the front laughed at us on way out. Will never come back here again

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

This restaurant is not only overrated the staff is rude and rush you out. I had chicken Pad Thai second time, because I was silly enough to return and it was impossible to eat! It smelled like an old mop, zero taste as well.
We also had chicken skewers appetizers and it wasn’t cooked trough. I hope I learned my lessons to not return again. Also while I was there I witnessed the waiters being rude to other customers as well. How do they stay in business???

Diner Review №95

It’s a bit rare to find great quality vegan food outside of big cities. I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. The uniqueness of the different dishes and their flavors is honestly remarkable. I got the crispy chive cakes and Pad Pong Ka-Ree with vegan “meat”. The Seitan is really good here. Definitely a new favorite place of mine and I can’t wait to go back and try something new.

Diner Review №96

Confused servers, mixed up order, food is too salty, not your traditional Thai food, disappointed.

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

I am a traditionalist. While I admire the avant-garde approach, I visited to have my favorites. I learned Thai cooking from an expert on Westland Ave in Boston. I taught it in the North Shore. I always think that we should be open minded. But, I returned home today and made my traditional recipe. Please visit this lovely restaurant with very nice people as if you haven't had traditional Thai food, you will love the people and atmosphere.

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Not your average Thai food, but q very special and unique place. We've been there twice now and the experience has exceeded our expectations. The drinks, food and service are all special.

Diner Review №104

They have a decent vegetarian selection. They are willing to remove meat, fish or egg from your order if you ask

Diner Review №105

Food was okay.

Diner Review №106

The decor and ambiance of this restaurant are impeccable. The creativity of the dishes as far as look and presentation are beyond measure. Every dish tastes amazing and appeals to the palate early and often. I highly recommend the Red Curry duck and the BBQ pork and sticky rice. The drinks alcoholic or non were great and satisfying I recommend the LOVE potion alcoholic and the Thai tea ice pop for non-alcoholic. Overall definitely give this amazing new spot a 10/10!!!!

Diner Review №107

This place has all the flavor and is absolutely delicious. Would definitely come back again! The tai ice coffee is the best.

Diner Review №108

I loved my first bite, and second, and third! Here is why you will too:

Nested in the heart of Lexington Love at First Bite is easily accessible with ample parking and access to other stores when you finish your meal or if you are waiting to be seated.

The restaurant has a warm atmosphere that feels inviting and comfortable. It’s an enjoyable space to eat in and it also feels like the right amount of tables for the space. It’s not overcrowded.

The food is absolutely fantastic. Probably some of the best Thai food I have had in the Boston suburbs. I had a feeling it would be good, but his is a whole new level of good.

Food came fast when I ate in the restaurant and when I did takeout food was packed really well and was still just as flavorful. Easy to order on toast from google.

So if you are thinking about getting Thai food tonight I’d say you found the right place! Check out my photos to get a sense of the restaurant and food.

Ate here for lunch last Sunday since most restaurants in Lexington's downtown area are closed. We were impressed by the prices and taste. I had Chicken Pad Thai and my boyfriend had a rice dish with chicken. The server didn't write down our order and when our food came out they gave me tofu pad Thai. I had to send it back. My boyfriend was almost done with his lunch by the time I got my correct dish. That is why I gave 4 star for my review. It is def a place for those who are into social media as it's got great decor and bright colorful neon signs. Would I eat here again yes but I will make the server repeat my order at least 3 or 4 times!!

Diner Review №115

The coffee comes with a coffee popsicle!

Excellent Thai food a cut above the usual with a good mixture of reasonable and more expensive dishes. Delicious and unique appetizers are excellent and the 4 main courses my wife and I tried were all tasty and had an interesting presentation. Great place to try if you're looking for excellent Thai food at a reasonable price.

Diner Review №119

There are many better options, I been to this twice, it took long time for them to take the order, food is mediocre, services is ok, I will suggest to look elsewhere.

Diner Review №120

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!I has been here for many times …but have to say the service there is not good …why the boss don't hire someone nicer? The food and drink we love it. Four ppl with two baby …they automatic charge us 20% tips …my friend was say they count baby too …but the baby never need be serve because they all so small …)and never fill our water …even we want ask for some napkin …we looking for long time, finally we get someone, it's take them forever to give to us …

Diner Review №121

I ordered Masaman chicken curry which is made with coconut milk. It had a sweet and spicy flavor to it. The Take out order took 40 minutes on a Saturday 7 pm. The place was fully packed when I went to pick up my food. I had to wait additional 10 minutes for my food to be ready.

Service had lot of room for improvement especially when it is busy.

Diner Review №122

they have the best pad thai ever & an amazing array of other delicious options! i do think some of their appetizers are a bit over priced for what they are but other than that their entrees are so good. The service is also amazing the staff are all very kind. I come back almost every other week—one of my most favorite restaurants

Diner Review №123

Everything was so good here! We got curry and pad thai and Tom kha

We ate here for our very first meal after moving to Lexington and it was delicious and will be very hard to top! The food is great, presented beautifully, and the restaurant is clean and well decorated. Definitely worth a visit!

Diner Review №128

泰式奶茶超好喝,還附贈一支紅茶冰棒根本賺到,難得有一間喝下去不會想講太甜,味道很剛好,茶味也很棒。春捲好吃,表皮很脆。masaman咖哩也好吃,難得吃到甜甜的咖喱,肉也很嫩。印尼炒飯也炒得很好吃,裡面的蝦子也處理得很好,但雞肉蠻柴的。

Diner Review №129

Great place, amazing food and really good service. The food was priced very well and worth every penny. The appetizers where great tasting and the Pad Thai was so good.

I love the spicy pork with sticky rice 🥰. Drinks were a little strong for me but overall the vibes were amazing and the restrooms were clean.

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

Food was good and had a very robustly flavored, however, the Thai tea had a great presentation but profoundly lacked flavor.
And being in Minuteman park area, I was surprised they did not give military discount. I usually boost business that favor the armed forces.
FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMER IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING

Diner Review №138

Lovely vibes at this place. Foods are delicious and mostly small plates, so better to get a variety of diferent items. It gets packed during dinner hours, even on week nights. So recommend making reservations beforehand

Diner Review №139

Amazing Thai food in Lexington. Cool atmosphere and bar. Great take out option as well. All their dishes are authentic and tasty

Diner Review №140

Great food. Good price. Good service. Good drinks. I enjoyed my experience frfr!

Diner Review №141

Decent Thai food! A bit sweet in the two dishes we ordered. Fresh rolls were great! A bit expensive for the quantity of food provided.

Diner Review №142

Rude staff

Diner Review №143

Everything tasted as good as it looked. Nicely plated dishes with good service as well. It is a smaller place and can fill up during peak times.

Diner Review №144

Good food, service and kid friendly atmosphere. A little expensive but it is downtown Lexington. Plenty of vegan options.

A great local Thai place. One of the best. Great selection on the menu.

Diner Review №148

Fun Thai food, great presentation, highly recommend! Love the spring rolls

Diner Review №149

The vibe is so cool. Lots of murals on the walls. Friendly staff. Tables are pretty close together so you could get to know your neighbors. The spicy can be customized. The iced Thai coffee is a must (sweet surprise comes with it). The presentation of dishes is superb. It’s a must come back type of place.

Diner Review №150

Quick service is an understatement!! I feel like we ordered and had a food before I could blink lol I had the spicy pad Thai which was delicious! I usually don't finish my food but I couldn't put my fork down! It had just enough spice and was plated nicely! My coworkers cleaned their plates as well!

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

Sorry to say that the food just wasn't that great. Very watery curry, weak flavor. There's so many places to get Thai food so I'll probably be going elsewhere...

Diner Review №153

Food is good, not the best Thai but may be in the area . It’s a bit overpriced, but do not recommend the cocktails. My Margarita was salted excessively which spoiled my food appetite. Also they gave me a time limit for an hour which I felt was a bit rushing even though food is delivered fast. May be it’s a good place to take out.

Diner Review №154

Good food overall. Great variety on menu and great service.

Diner Review №155

The food is devine and an absolutely poggers Khao Soi. The food is poppin off

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

Amazingly delicious food! The spice level is true to the description. One of the best Thai restaurants I've been to.

Diner Review №158

Since I was back in the area to buy shoes again, I swung by here again as well. Learning from my previous experience, I took careful bites in order to not burn my tongue from the hot pad thai. Yes, I ordered the same entree and it was as good as the first! Seems that my favorite theme is a dish that's spicy, but sweet at the same time. The Thai iced tea with the popsicle stick was okay. It wasn't as sweet as I would have liked. The crab rangoon was creamy and their dip had a honey texture and I was addicted to it's sweetness as well.

Diner Review №159

'Love at first bite explains' it all! This has got to be one of the best Thai places I've been to...and I've been to many! This place has such an inviting menu with so many options. Wait staff was amazing and very attentive. A must have is the thai ice tea topped with a Thai Ice tea popsicle. Exciting to eat what feels like dessert early into our dinner.

Appetizer: Kra tong tong
Drinks: Thai Ice tea, thai ice tea margarita
Dinner: Crispy Shrimp Cashew Nut, Drunken noodle

Only comment was that the Thai margarita wasn't my thing. I typically love margaritas, but this didn't pair as good as I thought it would.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality Thai food at a reasonable price and great atmosphere with superb service.

Diner Review №160

Food is good. Overpriced but tasty (as others have pointed out)

What really REALLY leaves a bad taste is the sneaky mandatory 20% service charge they add! They should warn you about it. Agreed that it’s caveat emptor n all but you inherently trust and dont review each line on the bill.

And ON TOP of that, their POS system by default asks for a 7% additional tip ON TOP OF THAT! Without knowing that there’s already service charge included; we corrected it to 20 percent! There is no way to figure that out on the POS BTW.

Also, the service left a lot to be desired and definitely not worth the mandatory tip. It felt like we were at a food court.

Diner Review №161

Decent Restaurants with good food.
Loved the ambiance and service.
Food portions are are comparatively less than the price.
Masaman Curry was really nice with Salmon.

Diner Review №162

Ordered a Pad Thai with chicken katsu. Waited for 30 minutes but got told that they run out of chicken katsu. Why don’t you let me in the beginning?

Diner Review №164

I came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday along with my other friend's birthday that just past. It was 3 of us in total. When we arrived we were excited to try the cuisine as I've heard about the buzz online especially their famous ice tea with the popsicle. The hostess said we can grab a table but there was a time limit of an hour and a half. This rubbed me the wrong way because you cannot make reservations and there was opening seating in the area to accommodate us. I was upset but stayed anyway. I got the avocado curry soup which was good not great, Maine crab ragoon and a Pom Pom tini. The drink was okay not as sweet as I would've liked. Crab ragoon was delicious and the calamari my friend ordered was mediocre. Aside from the fruit flies the ambiance was nice and quaint. The decor is perfect for a date night. I didn't get a chance to get the ice tea because I felt rushed. Not sure if I will go back.

Diner Review №165

!! You’ve got 1hr 15 mins to decide what you want, order all your food and drinks, eat it, pay your bill ($$$) and get the heck out!

Diner Review №172

Non-authentic Americanized overpriced Boston has better Thai. Too much fried stuff, pad, Thai used spaghetti noodles, and was too sweet. Another dish looks like crispy noodles in the photo and the menu but it is not, it contains fried items which don’t get soggy when mixed with the sauce, it wasn’t necessary to fry them in the first place.

Diner Review №173

Food was
Solid.

Diner Review №174

Instagram made me do it! It was amazing!! The presentation was top-notch.

Diner Review №175

How does it feel when you overpay for a good food experience and end up being thoroughly disappointed?

The presentation of the food looks tempting…..food is nowhere close to how it looks…. it lacked in taste / flavors.

Nothing worthwhile remembering from this dinner.

We had the massaman curry with shrimp, pad Thai with shrimp and chicken fried rice.

Diner Review №176

Recommend getting a noodle dish rather than a curry one.

Crab rangoons are 🔥

Diner Review №179

Food is okay

Diner Review №180

We entered restaurant almost near closing time they still accommodated us. Food is great we all loved coconut shrimp and the Thai chicken wings. We were group of 4 and we did not have a to go box at the end.

Diner Review №181

Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant, one of the best around. Am not even a huge Thai food fan but am blown away every time I come here with how delicious everything is! Highly recommend! Drunken noodle with duck is outstanding

Diner Review №182

We love the food here. Bang bang cauliflower is a fave.

Diner Review №183

It was definitely love at first bite here. Actually, it was love at first site at the beautiful Thai iced tea that came with a Thai tea popsicle. The food here is outstanding and my boyfriend and I intend on trying the whole menu. The service was excellent and very friendly. The interior design was stunning. One of the nicest interiors ive seen in a long time. Reasonably priced to boot! 5/5

Turns people away 45 minutes before closing. Even if you are able to get in and seated, they rush you out. But food is decent if you manage to get seated.

Great place

Diner Review №193

Excellent food.

Tried Drunken Noodles, Kua Kling, Spicy Basil Fried Rice (!!!), Larb Moo and Kra Tong Thong. I'd reccomend all of them. Amazing authentic flavors. Portions are generous, so consider splitting a bunch of things so you can try a lot of different flavors. Noodles were a bit overcooked, but we arrived late, and I find that happens at most restaurants.

Nice little cozy bar for a couple. Maybe 8 seats, but most patrons are in the dining room.

Don't miss the Mai Tai.

Ordered online and as part of the customization of the order, they have options for spice level. I chose spice level 1 (one up from none). The food was so spicy we ended up throwing it away. In addition to the spice level being too much, the overall quality of this Thai food is poor. The place has really declined since being taken over from previous owners. We won't be back.

Food: The food presentation was great. The food taste was average at best, the overpriced menu didn't do justice to the taste at all.

Service: No wait time on the weekend. The service was good.

Atmosphere: The ambience was great, cozy, lively and upscaled.

Hygiene: The restroom and restaurant were very clean, tidy and smelled nice.

Other: Parking is limited and is on the street. The menu offers limited vegetarian options.

Diner Review №200

Food was good once upon a time. But the past 2 to 3 times we ate here over the last 4 months the quality of the food has been so so, more like cheap Chinese food. Flavor is lacking and noodles are over cooked.
