“I moved here from the south and have been in search of the area’s best Nasheville-style hot chicken. I usually handle the most extreme spice level at these places (included Dave’s and World Famous Hot Boys for local reference) just fine, but the level 7 here is the real deal! I was thoroughly humbled and grateful I was prepared with my large milkshake which I had to down rapidly. Amazing - would definitely come back (probably for level 6 next time).“

“We ordered
Penang curry with Chicken
Basil Chicken with chicken rice
Pad Thai with tofu

The curry was delicious and spicier than the Panang Beef I usually have, this version is less sweet than all others I've had, could be a regional variation, maybe more peanut than others? The chicken is by far the most tender and moist chicken of any restaurant where I've had this kind of dish where the meat is added after the sauce is already made. You probably have experienced this before. Still delicious.

Basil Chicken was also a hit, far more savory than others I've had, probably my favorite version. Rich and savory, hard to explain.

Pad Thai was also a good, again a deeper, more savory flavor than the typical sweet and saucy versions, whether it needs more tamarind may be a matter of preference. The fried tofu they used was the best of any Thai place we've had it at. Most of the time you get overly fried tofu with mostly tofu skin and a hollow inside. This place sears it well but it is tender and juicy inside.

We loved the food but the only thing that made me uncomfortable the entire time was the profanity laced rap and hip hop that was being played. I didn't raise any of my children to normalize that kind of language and I never play it around my child. While I would use it in private with my friends, it's not something I use even with high school kids I coach, it's about setting a standard.

The alone would make me hesitate returning if my youngest is with me, but the food is good.“

“Online order was on time, and everything tasted delicious! Only nit pick is that we ordered sweet potato fries and they were not crispy. Should have sat in the fryer another 30 sec to a min. I was there a few mins before order was ready and we live 5 mins away so they didn't get soggy because of sitting around for too long.“

“The service and ordering process were very smooth and hassle-free, which made the experience even better. I really enjoy Korean chicken, and this place does an excellent job of capturing the authentic flavor that reminds me of home. My son absolutely loved the fried chicken — it was crispy, flavorful, and he couldn’t stop eating it. This is truly a family-friendly spot where both adults and kids can enjoy a great meal together. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the best Korean“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had such a fantastic experience that I just had to share it! I called in with a few questions and spoke with a gentleman named Bren. He was an absolute sweetheart ,incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. He took the time to walk me through the menu, answer all my questions, and made me feel like a truly valued customer. It’s rare to come across service this thoughtful, and he absolutely deserves to be recognized for it.

The food was delicious, but it was the outstanding service that really stood out. Because of Bren, I’ll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend“
