“Last week was my first time at Loose Leaf in Wallingford and I had a few questions about the drinks, etc. i spoke with a worker named Lydia, she was so helpful answering all my questions, super friendly and in general just very nice and welcoming, she really made the experience. The tea was good too!“
“Great selection of broths is a plus, smaller than average sauce bar and a decent selection of veggies and proteins. I liked the ordering system where you fill out a menu and then press a button and give it to the waiter, but sometimes it took a couple button presses to get a waiter and they missed multiple things per order we put in.Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu and vegetable options along with veggie based brothsDietary restrictions: Minimal dairy in the food here if any at all, you basically make your own soup so you choose the ingredientsParking: Shopping center lotKid-friendliness: The hotpots aren't sunk into the table so it would be easy for a kid to knock the pot of hot liquid over“
“This was my first time trying a Poké bowl and it did not disappoint. It was very refreshing, especially on this warmer than normal March afternoon. Since it was my first time, I decided to create a build your own bowl and incorporate ingredients that I'm used to. The topper was their special sauces. I added shrimp, which were deveined, corn, fresh jalapeño, and a mix of rice and greens. For a surcharge you can also add avocado and kimchi, which I did. Everything blended together so well. The bowl was nice and satisfying. I definitely see myself returning throughout the summer, especially when I want a salad experience but a tad elevated. Parking is a bit tricky over there. But I went on a Thursday afternoon. The establishment was nice and clean. Bright and open. They had a few stool seats at a countertop. I believe they have Boba tea, but I'll try one the next time. There will most certainly be a next time!“
“I’ve been eating here periodically for months, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite lunch spots. The service is always fast and friendly. The food is always fresh, consistent, and delicious. It’s also more affordable and better quality than many of the chain poké restaurants (i.e. pokémoto)“
“A beautiful restaurant with nice interior. Delicious food with various Japanese food selections. I love their special roll selections and how they serve it with beautiful presentatio. Ramen was great too. Octopus ball is good, but little bit creamy for me.“
“I ordered, via Uber eats, the Southside Pho with duck, seafood combo and vegetables. Wow! The broth is so authentic! The duck had crispy skin, the scallop was U12, the shrimp was easily U16, and there were 4! The calamari was beautiful, and fresh, crispy veggies:carrot, broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, bean sprouts. Simply superb!! I asked for extra bean sprouts and Thai basil. Ordered their homemade garlic chili oil and lime on the side. This was wonderful! Now my go to for Pho, and I work in New Haven, so there are plenty of Pho options, but no competition/comparison...well done South Side Thai, well done! I'll be back!!“
