“Tasty Mediterranean food. Good amount of vegan options with falafel. The falafel is very good, high quality and nicely fried.
The falafel burger was very tasty, and the crispy falafel added a nice texture. The fries were okay, a bit dry. Also got the sampler platter - liked the falafel, pita, hummus, baba ganoush, and salad that came with it. The dolmas were not my favorite.
Very good service. The bathroom is shared with the other businesses in the building and was fine. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.“

The beverage options were great as well, including everything from Aloe Vera juice and Korean soft drinks to classics like coffee & boba tea.“

Outside of events, it's also just a fantastic place to drink a cold beverage in the sunshine. I've taken a book with me and relaxed on the lovely patio, during the times I wasn't there with friends.

This place is truly a hidden gem at the Northgate Mall.“

“This family-owned gem is one of my favorite spots to visit. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. There's no sense of rush or over-attention, just a relaxed and pleasant vibe.

The menu offers a great variety of options, both cooked and raw. We started with miso soup and sashimi, paired with hot sake as an appetizer. For dinner, we enjoyed the Scope Special, Spicy Tuna Roll, Spider Roll, Dragon Roll, Lucky Stars, and finished off with the Chef's Special Roll. The fish was fresh, and every dish was absolutely delicious.

My friends and I had a blast, enjoying the food, sipping sake, and catching up, all without feeling rushed. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this hidden treasure. It's the kind of place that you'll want to return to again and again.“

“Such a cute place. Literally Thai Smile serves you up with a smile.

I ordered for pick up so i didnt get to sit inside but it seemed nicely decorated and clean when i came in.

When i called to order the woman who answered on the phone was so sweet and gave great recommendations because we werent 100% set on what we wanted.

We wanted to try the pumpkin curry and i asked which meat. She suggested the chicken. AMAZING. GET IT! This was our favorite dish we had.

We also had a list if a few other things we were baving teouble deciding between. She guided us the the Eggplant dish. I normally get it with beef bt she said the shrimp was even better. She was absolutely right! And it paired wonderfully with the pumpkin curry

We also had the mango sticky rice and the papaya salad which were large serving sizes and good but weren't the stars of the show.

We would definitely go here again and try some other things.“

“Had a deliciously flavorful dinner on the patio with my husband and 8 month old son on a Sunday evening. Immediately we were greated by friendly staff and seated outside. We used a highchair that was available which was appreciated since we wanted to have a meal all together with our 8 month old son. The service was amazing we got chips and salsa with our menus. I got a vegetarian tostada and my husband got cheese enchiladas. It was like magic how quick we got our meals. Everything was so delicious and my son finally got to sit and participate in our meal rather than watch us eat/hide what we are eating now that he's so interested in food! We gave him his first litte plate of refried beans, rice, and tastes of toppings. He was happy as a clam and slept better than he's ever slept before. Our server was interactive and kind with our little guy and being a mom that's a bonus when choosing a place to eat out. It was reasonably priced for how good the food is. We look forward to making this a new regular family dinner spot.“

We also got a complimentary focaccia bread with garlic/herbs olive oil dipping. The Gnocchi was very creamy and has rich flavor. The Risotto was creamy and the 2 piece of beef short ribs were tender and juicy. The portion is a bit on a small side and a bit pricey ($28 each). I gave 4 star because the server was not attentive.“
