Not Asian inspired. The food was good but this is American cuisine. It was enjoyable but I selected this spot and walked here and bought multiple things because I was interested in their Asian inspired offerings. This is another example of southern chefs taking Japanese dishes and completely white washing them. I ordered the burger which was delicious but just a burger, perhaps it was not intended to be Japanese influenced. The soba bowl however was disappointing. The soba noodles were cut into small pieces which fundamentally goes against the tradition of soba noodles which should be kept long and slurped. Much harder to eat when they are cut up. Sounds silly but it’s an essential part of eating a soba dish. The chicken add on was completely unseasoned. Like zero seasoning whatsoever. Lastly, it was 50% broccoli, the tiny little freezer bag brocolli that had no flavor and tasted frozen. Come here for the vibes and a great burger but do not come here for Asian flavor cause you won’t find it - at least not in the dishes I had.

I found the food mediocre (I didn't finish it which is rare) and expensive even for food truck prices (+$20 for a small bowl of noodles and chicken???)

UPDATE 4/2023

Really fun menu, conveniet mobile ordering options. And plus you get to go drink some Good People Brewing Co. beer with it! Not much more to it than good food, good portions, and easy ordering.

Would love to review the food. Showed up at 9:30 from out of town on recommendation. Stood at the window for about 10 minutes, was acknowledged with a “What’s your name?” said I hadn’t ordered yet, and was told “Kitchen’s fuckin’ closed.”
