Honestly I wasn't very impressed...I read all the other good reviews and thought it would be a good little lunch. However the pork was tasteless and fatty, and the bao bun wasn't correct and falling apart when eating. The chorizo egg roll was different and pretty decent though 👌

The food is good but the flavors are a bit bland for my taste. The pickle in the bahn mi can be made a lot more acidic, and I would prefer bolder flavors from the sauces.
The last two times I’ve had a quality-less experience. Most recent order was on 4/28/2025. The beef in my rice dish tasted old and stale, and was a bit tough to chew. It was as if the dish had been left out and then reheated before being packaged up. The flavor was in a word, gross. When I called I was simply told, “Oh, we have a new chef.” She didn’t offer to refund or replace or credit my order. I’ve eaten there since 2019 and never had an issue with the quality of the flavors or service. This year I have twice now seen a lower quality in the presentation and taste. You have lost a customer. Manangement: please train your staff to do better with customers when they call about an issue with the food they buy. Customers come first.
Like their food but they're pretty stingy tend to always give small portions while prices are a bit high
This place is really lowkey, and the staff are friendly. The food is pretty good. The funky monkey fries specifically are amazing.
I JUST ordered about an hour ago from DoorDash and I haaad to get on here to let y’all know. I only got to take a picture of the Ropa Vieja Beef Bowl because I practically inhaled everything else right before. The Beef Baco is good, Picadillo Egg Roll was yummy as well. The Chorizo Egg Roll was BOMB. And the Ropa Vieja Beef Bowl is just too good. Meat is tender and all the flavors work really well together. Can’t wait to try even more from here!
ordered take out had 2 hairs in my food.
the puerto can rice was the best dish , but even that was ruined once i found the long brown hairs.
Gumbo was awful beans in the dish were hard crunchy gumbo fusion.
flavorless food
have at it
Where do I begin. The service was very friendly, attentive and quick. We ordered Monkey Fries in house and Asian paella, Puerto Rican rice and duck gumbo to go. When I say wow, I mean WOW! We will definitely be back for the ‘bacos’ and egg rolls soon.

Very friendly workers, great food, and cheap prices. The monkey fries are amazing
Great Asian fusion. Reasonable price. Will recommend.
the broth in the pho was crazy flavorful. the type of stuff that brings you back to life. not sure what all the “bland” reviews are about. the noodles they use are thicker than the traditional pho noodles which i absolutely loved. that took the heartiness of the dish to another level. baos melted in your mouth, delectable!
Delicious food made fast! I would definitely come back 😀
I got the monkey fries from here that were mad flavorful. Made with ground beef, and cheese with this mayo-based sauce over seasoned fries. 8.8. I also got this decent duck gumbo too. The broth lacked flavor kinda bland but wasn't terrible thou. 7.9. Overall I like the setup and this place has some interesting items on the menu worth checking out. 8.5.
