“So I would like to preface this by saying that the overall experience was very enjoyable.A couple key points that I would like to hit on not being a food critic, but the macaroni and cheese.You could tell was reheated, it was probably a like a stealth, first brand macaroni and cheese, or something didn't feel like it was homemade baked, but that's to be expected with the type of volume that they do.They couldn't make anything fresh to order or everything fresh to order.Rather, the brisket was extremely good.It was very tender.You could tell I had been smoked for several hours.The barbecue sauce was like you're running the mill stubs barbecue sauce.I had like a little bit of tang a little bit of spice, probably what it was, was stubbs.Overall, it was, it was okay, but the brisket, which was the main attraction.And the reason we all go was amazing“

“I’ve had bbq coast to coast. I consider myself a bit of a pro judge without really being one. This is in the top 10% of places I’ve been.\n\nThe location was a touch sketchy, having not been to Modesto ever, I’m not sure if it’s the neighborhood or the travel to it but something felt odd.\n\nThe restaurant itself was clean and inviting, the staff was super friendly and helpful picking out our meals.\n\nThe food itself was pretty tasty. They did break my cardinal rule for bbq though. The food came pre sauced. Luckily the sauce was good. The meat was tender, and the portion was huge for the price. The sides were tasty too. By far the tri tip was the winner. It’s mostly a regional thing, but places that do it right are hard to come by. It was definitely the star of the meats I chose.“

“Delicious steak, the best. Great atmosphere. Good prices.“

“Food is great! There busy but service is still good, friendly staff! Oh yeah did I say the food is great!!“

“I really wanted to try the ramen, but I cannot resist an unagi bowl whenever I see it on a menu. That and the prawn tempura were excellent. Next time we're in Modesto visiting family, I'm going to hope it's winter so I can try their ramen!“

“Service was a little slow, I think they were short staffed but the gal was good. I felt bad for her cause she was the only one in the place that was taking orders and waiting on people. I saw another behind the bar, another sorta at the front and another cooking. They had at least 20+ customers but she was the only one taking orders, etc.
Food was very good and very little fat on the pork, thank you for that. I really enjoyed my meal.“

“KICKASS SPOT! You build your own bowls, so the chef is always amazing. Staff’s so friendly, you don’t want to leave. **Add your noodles last, and smash your ingredients down as you go to fill it up as much as possible because cooked food shrinks, and you’ll want more than an appetizer portion. Unless you’re into that.“
