This was my second time coming to this restaurant. We made reservations since it was a Friday night but the restaurant wasnt full when we arrived. Service was slow. Their website says they only allow you to stay for 90 minutes but if they didnt take so long to visit your table then so many wouldn't even take 90 minutes. We got several items. I really enjoyed the BBQ buns with pork belly. I also got the wagyu dumplings and brussel sprouts. They were good but I wouldn't say 5 mini dumplings are worth $16. My husband got the ahi nachos but said he was disappointed. He said there was too much of something in the sauce. The menu says it is a sriracha but he said it didn't even taste like sriracha so maybe it was mayo in the crab salad he didnt like. As for the atmosphere, they could use a good cleaning. The wall our table was up against was covered in food. I enjoy the mix of Asian items at this restaurant. It's unique. But I dont feel this particular outing was worth the money we spent.

Highly Unprofessional and Disrespectful Behavior
I had an unsettling experience at this restaurant that left a bad taste in my mouth—not because of the food, but because of the behavior of one of the waitresses. I was seated at a separate table from my friends, so the staff didn’t know we were together. From where I was sitting, I witnessed a waitress being blatantly flirty and overly familiar with my friend’s boyfriend.
What made it worse was how obvious and inappropriate her behavior was. It was completely unprofessional and showed a total lack of respect for both the guests and the standards of customer service. Regardless of whether she knew we were connected, there’s no excuse for that kind of conduct while on the clock.
Management needs to be aware of how their staff are representing the establishment. This is not the type of environment we want to support or recommend to others.

This place is okay and that's okay. The food and environment tries to be upscale however it's mid. Over priced for what it is. I order Ahi nachos it had 8 small cubes of tuna for 19 bucks I would expect a little more. The tuna you can taste its not fresh. My entrée was seared tuna. The middle should have been a vibrant red, however it was over cooked. The waiter made it right sent it back and got me the right temperature but then the kitchen never put the sides back on the plate and just brought the tuna... my wife got the korean stone which she did enjoy. A common theme is low meat high amounts of rice. Which nothing is wrong alot of resturants do this however the price is where the issue arises. Korean stone was 27 dollars 6 pieces of tuna was 28 dollars.
The upside was the waiter who was very attentive, and the cocktails. These were bomb. Cali heat was delicious smoky yet sweet.

This plate was $30?!? I ordered takeout, but it looks like someone ate half the plate.. I swear it used to come with rice. The three pieces of broccolini tasted like charcoal. So disappointed. 🙉

Our go-to place for lunch or dinner when we are in Turlock. Then hit the country bar nextdoor!

Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day lunch at 3pm in the dining room and I get a text at 1pm that I can change my reservation to 1pm otherwise they are not serving food until 5. Left me scrambling for a new reservation two hours before dinner.

Dinner was excellent with Konstantine. His drink and dinner recommendations were on point and he is friendly, knowledgeable and always welcoming. He is an asset to First and Main and we will be back because of him. Kudos to the chefs and kitchen for putting out amazing food. We highly recommend First and Main for a wonderful dinner experience.

DOR 8324: This is crazy!! This is my first 5 star review for a non Mexican food restaurant! I was blown outta the agua by this place. The sushi was 5 outta five. We had two sushi rolls. The Last Dragon Roll Bruce Lee edition was triple fire! The crispy rock shrimp roll. Also, 4.5 outta 5. But the sauce & shrimp that came on it!!... I could have a bucket full just of that! We also had 3 cocktail drinks! The mango frozen margaritas and the Mexican fire squat. Both 4 outta 5! Well made & punch ? you in the face delicious! Finally, the price! $90 for two grown ass adults exploring new places! Price was a 4 outta 5. I can see if it's pricey for some. But the quality and amount ? were on point! Zero issues giving it my seal of approval #gorditoapproved #fatboyapproved Chefs ?? ? can't wait to return!
It was a very loud place to be but understandable for a Friday evening downtown. The waiter seemed super stressed out and worried. I felt bad for her but then I remembered it’s her job . She charged me extra on a couple items . My drink was 12 dollars on the menu and on my tab it was 18 dollars and some change. My spicy edamame was was also priced wrong. Don’t worry about leaving a tip here because it’s already calculated on your tab. Our waiter didn’t smile once . Everyone else that came to bring our food also looked worried . My first time there and my last . Also if you get the stone bowl make sure you tell them equal amount of meat the thing has a ridiculous amount of rice not enough sauce either . The place should be called “First and Last”
