“This is my new favorite restaurant hands down no questions asked. The price of the food is more than just fair and the quality is even better. If I really had to nitpick it would be the size of the restaurant but come on let’s be real, small places like this always serve the best food“

“We discovered Webb’s a year ago & have tried just about everything on the menu. The staff is amazing and the food is great. I love how they are adding news items. The new years event was super fun and the special menu for Valentine’s Day was incredible. 10/10 recommend“

“This is our family's favorite taco place. I haven't had anything bad so far. The hot salsa is fire, and the guacamole is delicious. The tacos are generously filled. Two tacos wothout rice and beans are usually more than enough for me. The staff just makes it all the better. Our kids always love seeing Mrs. G. Don't let the low-key location fool you - this place is top-notch.“

“Wow! Super yum to say the least. It’s always great when the new local restaurant hits it out of the park! My wife & I started with the bacon & meatballs appetizer. She then had the fried green tomatoes & French onion soup while I had the ribeye. Delicious!“

“Great atmosphere with great service. Loved how an entire team look out for you from the greeting to the end.“

“Great food !! Had no chance to take a picture of the food but I got the chipotle rice bowl! Delicious, big portions. Dad got the pull pork he said it was yummy ! The desserts were AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back out next trip to Cali. You will also see the owner greet every table, I think that’s amazing! Makes you feel well taken care of. Thank you !“

“Kinaree serves delicious Thai dishes that can be more difficult to find elsewhere and does them well with their own little twists. A friend and I stuck to the “Chef’s Highlights” portion of the menu, but we would definitely like to return to try their breakfast and brunch items if we can resist reordering some favorites. The waitress had shared that since there was a thai restaurant in the plaza, they had to make a unique menu to set themselves apart which is how the thai fusion brunch menu came to be.

We visited on a Monday afternoon and they only had a few other tables. The pandan sweet tea was subtly sweet and had the right amount of aroma from the pandan. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and packed full of flavor. The tom yum hot pot had tons of seafood and packed with ramen noodles. Definitely tasted better warm, so try this one first if ordering multiple dishes. Khao soi had the depth of flavor you would want from the curry, although I found it to be slightly on the more watery side. I like the array of proteins you can choose from chicken, beef, blue crab, etc. The STAR of the meal was the fried fish with apple salad. As a big fan of this dish, I can say that they made this perfectly crispy with tender fish inside and a fresh apple salad packed full of herbs that just hits the spot! A def must try! I even ordered one to go as well as their crab fried rice that was super fresh and scrumptious! Unfortunately, they were out of their thai tea cheesecake, but the roti with coconut ice cream was a yummy way to end the meal. What can go wrong with indulging in a warm crispy dough topped with creamy coconut ice cream. Cannot wait to return!“

“My favorite place for Thai food. The taste is always on point. Smaller menu than other Thai restaurants but everything is good and fresh. Service is quick and friendly. The ambiance is cozy and tastefully decorated. Small cafe type restaurant, no frills, just good food. They were under rennovation for a while but recently opened up for dining again. I saw a lot of people order carry outs while I was there.“

“I always order take-out, so can’t really comment on the atmosphere. But the DIM SUM is great. All very tasty and good. Peking duck is also fantastic. It’s easy to order online for a set time to pick up, even a day ahead. You have to park in the structure, but they validate for pick-ups.

Vegetarian options: One in our household is vegetarian and she enjoys the shrimp and veg options (turnip cakes, garlic noodles, spicy shrimp noodles, shrimp dumplings, shrimp balls, cabbage, etc.“

“Ordered the beef short rib yuk gae Jang. It was delicious! Beef was super tender and fell off the bone. The only negative is they don't offer a lot of side dishes. Only 3..kimchi, chives and fish cakes. Other than that it was good. I'll be back when I'm on vacation again.“
