Eto'o has been closed for a few months. Now this location = Strings Ramen -- see separate review.

This place was awful. No wonder the restaurant next door was packed and this one was empty. I should have know better when both my daughter's AND my fork was dirty. Then there was lipstick on my glass. THEN THERE WAS HAIR IN MY FOOD. I don't need to say anything else. She replaced the forks. Then the cup. After the hair in the food she wanted to make me another dish. It was awful TOO!

Love their salmon fried rice!

The food here is just okay, and really depends on what you order. The fried rice portions are really large and a safe bet to get. I haven't been as big of a fan of most other dishes here. They usually feel lacking (the soondubu didn't have much tofu, the curries don't come with much meat...). Boba is surprisingly good, not great, but good for its price point.

It just tastes bad. It tastes like the chef didn't put any reasoning in it other than salt.

Asian cooking is easily one of my favorites. Not only is it healthy, with its crisp, steamed vegetables and delicate seasonings, it's also very tasty! I accompanied a dinner date to this small restaurant where we were the first patrons of the evening. My entree choice was the Shrimp Pad Thai. It was a scrumptious mound of thick, firm noodles dressed with slivered carrots, garden fresh cilantro, onions, plump shrimp soaked in a yummy peanut sauce. The lime garnish on the side served as the perfect accent to liven up the dish, and it left my tastebuds dancing with delight! My buddy had a pork bowl with pot stickers and fresh vegetables, drowned in a tasty broth. It was a good sized helping too. The amazing thing was we were completely satisfied without feeling bloated, or artificially filled with preservatives. We could've been tempted by desserts had we seen them on the menu. No worries. That'll be another restaurant, and a separate review!

Downside is that service can sometimes be slow, but a good thing is that they're never so full that you'd have to wait for a seat. PS. Bring cash for 10% off!

Great diner food and fast, too. I always get the ham and cheese omelette with the biscuit and it never disappoints. Cash only; I believe they have an on-site ATM.

Please do not order the sunduboo. The picture on the menu is nothing like the atrocity that is served. Also service is slow and the food is mediocre at best with smaller portions.

The environment was so relaxing with the soft lighting and sunshine from the front windows coming in. I appreciate the fish tank and the food I had was perfectly paired with a milk tea. I was craving something cool and healthy on the hot summer day I went. That was the first place I ate when biked to Hype Park
I normally love this place. The crispy wonton pad Thai is delicious every time. I've been probably half a dozen times. With that said, the service on my most recent visit was atrocious. They were obviously understaffed for a Friday night. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. About forty minutes wait in another customer inquired if we had been waiting long. Responding yes, other guests also chimed in about the delay. After watching to-go orders fly out while the dining room was neglected for more than an hour we were approached by the waitress who told us that our order had been lost by the kitchen staff. There was no apology for the error. Rather than wait for who knows how much longer we left and went to Chipotle. Severely disappointing for a restaurant that is normally very good.

Good food and friendly staff

Good service but out of 4 dishes we ordered 4 were a fail. Very overwhelming oyster and soy sauce across the board. Also, a smell of moth balls did not help.

I'm always on the hunt for some great Pad Thai and Eto'o did not dissapoint. I've never had shrimp AND lobster in it before. It was very satisfying. What wasn't was the service. It's virtually non exisistent. When I first entered, I stood by the "please wait to be seated sign." a young Asian fellow looked up from the other end of restaurant, came from around the corner and walked toward me. I said hello and he walked past me without saying a word and left the restaurant. Ok! After standing there for another minute, I walked across the place to the counter/kitchen area. A cherub faced young lady was on the phone speaking in Chinese as she took a grubhub order. I thought this place must authentic! Seven Asian diners who came in after me confirmed that. One came in speaking Chenese and she and the hostess had a very lively conversation before she settled behind her regular table. I feel like I found an hidden gem. Despite the service. I mean after my food was served, I was deserted. I had to get up and locate the soy and red pepper sauce myself because no one checked on me. That's cool. My expectations have been adjusted. I'll do better next time.
