I don't know what's going on, maybe they changed the owner, the employees but the food used to be much better. There are usually a lot of people, but there really weren't any customers when my husband went to get the food.
You basically serve and sit yourself. The guy sitting everyone was basically coming to the front then looks around and tells you that you can sit anywhere. If you needed him for anything, you had to get up and go get him or another person to assist, or were told to go to the register and ask them. 3 people were either directing customers, trying to figure out who was taking the food to what table while cleaning the tables and still doing everything else. Some people waited longer than others for their food. The dried fried ribs were Not Ribs. Weird. My Fried rice was very flavorful but the beef needed to be cooked a little longer. It was very packed and busy so that was a good thing but it is not what I thought it would be. People were waiting to be seated or waited on only to be told you can pick your own table where to sit. Would I go back. Probably Not. Not what I imagined for a Birthday Dinner.... 😔
Great place for a bite
It was ok nothing special... 🤷🏽♂️
Noodles were hot and the shrimp was cold. The bartender was new and the cocktail was not good. Not sure if this location is under new ownership but the food has gone downhill since I used to live out in Alameda.
Be prepared to pay in advance at the bar for your food and make sure you get utensils
I usually love this place but last time I went my experience was terrible. The bartender sent the drinks I ordered to the wrong table (confusing me with the other black person in the restaurant), then tried to say I didn’t pay for my drinks. After I showed him both my receipt and told him I watched him take it to the wrong table. He had an attitude and tried to tell me I pointed at the wrong table and then attempted to give me the drink from the table after the other couple had touched it. I was given an attitude when I asked him to remake the drink because that was unsanitary. The fun didn’t end there, they recently rolled out a new ordering from the table feature, except the numbers on the table were distorted and hard to read. My food was sent to another table and I had to wait almost an hour for my order. All in all I may try this place again but my last visit put such a bad taste in my mouth that I won’t go back for a while. The wait staff needs some training on being courteous.
Went with a great anticipation for food but Extremely disappointed with food. Too greasy , tasteless and service was rude.

Food was excellent, but their gumbo was a little too spicy for us. We were attending an event at the brewery next door. Service was great, and we had a good time.

The lighting set the ambiance and the server was prompt and brought water with him/her. When the food came i could not believe the amount of grub we had gotten for the price we paid. Wonderful place to eat.
Vegetarian options: They have noodles, rice, or tofu for the vegetarian diet.
Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair will fit right into the front doors as well as the staff is very accommodating to those persons.

I'm not sure if they have changed hands as far as ownership, but the service is definitely not the same as it was a couple years ago. The cashier gave me stank attitude when I told her I couldn't hear her over the music playing, rolled her eyes and the asked "Do you want to order or not?" The garlic noodles now have some kind of sauce that's Salty and looks like gravy. It's surely not the staple garlic noodles that we have been coming there for for years.
My cousins and I stopped here 45 mins before closing our food was served fresh, hot and delicious. I had shrimp fried rice and honey walnut prawns. MK never disappoint
