“Fantastic service, friendly staff, very good prices. All around an amazing to place to stop by when your in the area!Vegetarian options: They had all sorts of various vegan options like tofu and vegan spring rolls. Also had the option to not have any meat for many dishesParking: A large parking lot“
“Spicy Thai Tofu Bowl(Tofu, red bell peppers, straw mushrooms, potatoes, romaine lettuce, seasoned rice and zing sauce)I was not a fan of coconut curry flavors until visiting Vellee a few days ago. I called an audible and ordered the Spicy Thai Tofu Bowl. Before we walked in the door, I just knew I was going to order the Korean BBQ bowl. I am delighted I was wrong. The chef perfectly dialed the spice level (#2) to my hopefulness, partnering it well with the zing sauce. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a zing sauce, but it was persuasive enough to make me change my mind about curries. The creamy coconut sauce covered the fresh ingredients with comforting casualness. The sauce to rice ratio was good – as was the sweet to heat ratio. My favorite surprise ingredient was the potato! It felt like it belonged all along. I left Vellee very satisfied, wanting nothing more or less. The vibe was as energetic as the boom box display on the far wall. I intend to go back again in attempt to get the Korean BBQ bowl.“
“Wife and I had the chance to dine here, in the malcolm yards, today. I'll be willing to go on a limb, and say their fried chicken Sammy, is better than revivals. The char sui, jasmine rice ( just trust me on this) and the kimchi slaw were all on point. However, the most pleasant surprise I had, was how well the sliced chili's and fried leeks went with the french fries. definitely will be returning soon to give the cauliflower, and sesame fried chicken a whirl.“
“I thought I had written a review for this place already, oops, my bad. I love, love, love this place! Came here on a weeknight and it was packed. I did not make reservation but we got lucky by snatching two chairs at the bar. It is small inside but worth the wait. The staff was super efficient and friendly, there were two girls and one guy. The guy helped us with drinks and ordering our food. I am so sorry I forgot his name, but you could tell how hardworking they all were. We both ordered Potsticker Duet (highly recommend): *shrimp, Angus beef, chives *tofu mushroom kale *dill pork *kimchi pork My favorite was dill pork, it goes well with old godmother hot sauce. Honestly all the potstickers were amazing and their list of dipping sauce was great too. A female chef (we think she is the owner) came out of the kitchen and asked us how we are doing, and she gave us some kimchi she made the same day for samplings. Everything was delicious and the drinks were top notch, of course I always get my favorite drink, old fashioned with Japanese whiskey. Superb place.“
“This place is a dream come true! The food is incredible, from the huge modular entrees to the gigantic “mini-feast”, or the ribs which were the best I’ve ever had. What I am most excited about however is the brunch! I am planning on coming back every Sunday to try all of their brunch items.“
“My friends and I stumbled into this restaurant when Up Down was too packed to enjoy. It happened to be my birthday weekend so I was open to trying something new. I absolutely loved our waiter. He wasn't pushy, had a sake bomb with us, was super nice and funny, and introduced me to the Peach Cosmopolitan. YUMMY! The food was delicious and the dessert was exceptional! Will definitely be back for more!The only reason why I gave it 4 stars was because when we first walked in, I told them how many people (3), and no one said anything to me. No, "it'll be a few minutes but please have a seat" or even mentioning the fact that there were people waiting ahead of us. We stood awkwardly in front of them but eventually moved to the side when we realized we wouldn't be seated right away. We almost walked out after waiting 10 minutes but were called to be seated as we were about to Google another spot.“
“Wok in the Park doesn’t need any more attention because it is busy!! But that’s because the food is so good. Everything tastes fresh and they have a good variety on the menu. The only thing I’ve gotten that I haven’t enjoyed is the egg rolls. They are huge and stuffed full which is just not my personal preference. If you go here, just plan ahead because people love Wok and you’ll need to wait!“
“You want sushi? That's the place! It's not cheap, so be ready ? but it is worth it. They have a lot to choose from. Won't be disappointed. Dine in, take out, or delivery, they got it all. I usually take out. Call 20-30 minutes in advance. You'll love it ?“
“The atmosphere was pleasant and calm. The waiting staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The prices were more than fair, with our bill coming to a total of $49.89 which included the following. Two appetizers, two entrees and one beer. The appetizers and question where the tofu bun and the seaweed salad. The seaweed salad was fresh and well garnished. The tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Both ramen broths were made with the utmost care and precision. And before I was even done eating I was already planning my next visit.“
“Amazing chicken, fries, and Bahn Mi. Service is impeccable definitely suggest spending your time and money here!Wheelchair accessibility: There are 2 accessible parking spots for this small strip mall that has 3-4 businesses in it. When really busy it may be a little hard to maneuver and get parking but usually it’s not a issue“
“World Street Kitchen is a decent fusion restaurant with some unique(ish) menu items you won’t find anywhere. Never been impressed by one of their offerings and most things you can find better elsewhere but I have also never had a bad meal. Just fine! Atmosphere in the restaurant is good and seems somewhat clean. Service is a little on the slow side.“
“Here's my review. I'll break it into chunks where certain topics might matter to you (:Parking:- plenty of street parking, freeDining:- waiter was very nice and very attentive- was able to sit at a table quickly- food came out pretty fast- bathroom and inside the restaurant was clean- plenty of seating inside tooFood:- the spring rolls were sooooo delicious! (: the peanut dipping sauce was sweet but very flavorful. I think this is probably one of my favorites now for fresh spring rolls. The shrimp chicken combo was also very nice and flavorful.- chicken pad see ew: it's interesting to have bell peppers and squash in it, but I like having more veggies in my dishes (makes me feel a bit more healthier XD). The chicken isn't like rubbery or hard but shreds nicely when you bite into it. There's a light tint of a flavor like sesame oil. The dish wasn't super oily.Overall, I had a very pleasant dine in experience after my two hikes. This is also just a very cute town area to explore. I would recommend here as a new place to check out and a town to explore ?“
“I love a good Korean meal! I love the 1/2 & 1/2 chicken wings: spicy good or garlicky good. I always recommend the doltsot Bibimbop (in the HOT stone bowl) so you can enjoy some toasted rice at the bottom of the stone bowl! 1 star taken off since they charge for banchon (the side dishes that usually accompany a good Korean bowl!) and it’s a little pricey for no kimchi or radish“
“Made reservations for an early Sunday dinner online. Website is easy to navigate and menus are updated. Parking was super easy, spacious lot around the restaurant. Staff were very attentive and answered any questions we had. Food came promptly and was well paced between appetizers and main course. My mocktail was DELICIOUS. The ramen was good, but a little on the sour side for my personal taste. That may have been on me since I didn’t realize the mushrooms were pickled! Overall, good place for a nice meal out!“
“Do you like sushi? If so, you’re going to LOVE poke. It’s essentially sushi in a bowl. For the uninitiated, it operates similar to Chipotle — you pick a base like rice or salad, add your choice of protein (they have around 16 to choose from), then top it off with a nice assortment of vegetables, sauces, and toppings. They also have a dozen premade combinations, if you prefer to not pick all of your own ingredients. You can expect to spend somewhere between $13 and $20 per bowl, but it is for some of the freshest and tastiest counter service food available, and even considering the prices, the portion sizes are generous. (I never leave hungry.)For a place that does umami foods better than just about anywhere else, the atmosphere is decidedly sterile. It’s not a place to get cozy and hang out. It is impeccably clean and well lit though.We have visited a couple of locations of this chain, and the staff have been without exception, very friendly and helpful and efficient.Overall, I recommend Hawaii Poké Bowl — we’ve left every visit exceptionally satisfied.Vegetarian options: While the centerpiece of the menu is sushi, grade seafood, one could easily make a vegetarian bowl by simply omitting it.Parking: Parking is a little weird, with angled street parking on either side of the restaurant that is shared by several other restaurants in the immediate vicinity. It can be hit or miss as far as availability. Most visits, we haven’t had any trouble. There are two large surface lots within one city block that always have availability.Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is open and casual. There is a kids bowl on the menu.“
“This is by far the best Thai that we have in the neighborhood! I usually get pad Thai and red curry anytime I try a new place, and I’ve been disappointed with the two other places nearby—but not here! I asked for pad Thai Flamin hot with tofu and it’s one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. The tofu was perfectly cubed and fried without being greasy, and the sauce a rich brown color with notes of peanut, tamarind, and lime (slightly sweet and tangy), and the spice was perfectly hot without being overpowering. Most other places give me mild/medium when I ask for Thai hot, and this place actually listened. The red curry was also memorable with bright flavors from the Thai basil and veggies. Poured over rice, it’s a heavenly combo perfect for a cold night. I am so grateful to have a new go-to Thai spot! I hope they stick around for a long time.“
“Same Bon Chon as in NYC (or other cities). Nice fusion of Korean and also some very but few Korean dishes. Definitely with stopping by keeping in mind Lake & Hennepin closures for now, although there is ample parking around.I hope you try the soy garlic chicken, bibimbap and the fried chicken obvi. Go. Enjoy!“
“Sidewalk Kitchen is a name that does not seem obvious to have Chinese cuisine. I think they are a solid takeout and eat in when I am crabing some Chinese food. A friend of mine from China recommended this spot. She said that it had options closer to what she would order in China, so it was more authentic to her. One day, I ordered some garlic coated string beans with white rice, an order of fried chicken wings, and #76. Szechuan Spicy Diced Chicken with fried rice. The service was decent and attenive, the food was flavorful, and the portions allowed us to have seconds. For two, the bill was also reasonable. When we asked for some soy sauce and hot oil, the flavor of the food definitely was enhanced. The food tasted fresh and appeared to be fresh off the press, so that makes me happy to know that things move quickly through this place and they have a steady flow of patrons in the University of Minnesota area.“
“We had the vegetarian option with a side of kale salad , chutney and a couple of other fabulous items , it was absolutely delightful, we appreciated the wonderful spices and flavors. This food is obviously made with love and made our Saturday even more enjoyableTo add to our happy experience she serves super nice portions that allow for some more enjoyment the next day. We add some fish and put the chutney on top of it … amazing!!!!We are looking forward for some more - we are clients for life“

“Food is good! I really liked the heat (I got the spiciest you can get) with the chicken currito, if there was a possibility to get it hotter... I probably would. Tastes similar to the curry we would make back at home but in a burrito. The burrito is huge.I think I'd like to try the banh mi to see how good those are next time.My biggest knock on it is that the price is a little higher for lunch BUT I thought it was worth it.“
“We tried general tsos and sesame chicken with medium spice. Overall not too spicy. The sesame chicken had a sweet flavor almost like orange chicken. The fried rice wasn’t bad!! Definitely will continue ordering from this place!! Big portions for the price!“

“We've been here twice over the past month, and in general have enjoyed our meal. It's a very small restaurant with good ramen, boba tea, and tasty appetizers. Because it's so small, I'm wondering if the staff is overwhelmed as every time I've ordered Boba tea, they've forgotten to add the pearls - which was quickly remedied.I've enjoyed their goyza and short ribs, but the house fried rice was inconsistent. My husband has had a couple different Ramen bowls that he's liked. It's a good little local spot, give it a try.“
“Our first time here... The food was great! All but 2 tables in the main section were full. Spicy selection from 0 to 5... we got a few 3's and a 2.Chicken Green Curry at 2 was great.Beef Red Curry ordered a 3 but seemed sweet and lighter in spice than the green Curry.The seafood salad 3 was goodAnd the chicken fried rice at 0 was tasty... with no spice at all.Egg rolls and Thai sausageThe price for 4 adults was $100 without tipParking: As it was put first time here we are not up on the parking... for us it was difficult.“
“When I was craving sushi the other night and didn't feel like going out in the cold, this new takeout & delivery only restaurant popped up so I decided to try it. And I'm so glad that I did! The sushi arrived quickly and was super fresh. I got 2 spicy hamachi rolls, 2 spicy tuna rolls, and a miso soup. The soup was good but nothing to rave over, and rolls exceeded my expectations. They were fresh, tasty, and a good size. I even packed some for lunch the next day (still tasted great as leftovers) and the rice stayed soft too! Would definitely recommend for an at-home sushi night.“
“I want to give this cute spot five stars! The Cove is a no frills lunch spot with a lot of customizable options (brown rice, pick all your favorite toppings, sauces and spice level). I think the quality is solid and the portion sizes are generous! The missing star is to account for the inconsistency. Sometimes a level 2 spice level is perfect and sometimes it's wayyyy to much. Sometimes they add lots of fish, sometimes just a few pieces. I think it just depends on who is working that day. I think they could improve on staff training to improve consistency. Despite this, I find myself coming back to this delicious spot for a quick and filling lunch! It's definitely worth going and trying out! I also think the fusion theme is awesome - they have sushiritos, banh mi, rice bowls, steam buns, sambusas, burgers, etc! It's a pretty impressive variety.“
“Came here for lunch on a dreary Monday with the specter or hope (depending on your view) of a pending solar eclipse. Yet it was lively inside with business folks at lunch. Excellent prices with "happy hour" prices all day. (Maybe because it's Monday?). Would have paid more in home state of California so it was a pleasant surprise. My friend and I shared a delicious crunchy roll, some sushi selections and an appetizer of crunchy rice that was a "customers' favorite" (but maybe not at my table...!). Presentation was beautiful.“

“This place has some very delicious asian food. They also have some good vegetarian and vegan options. The only problem is the menu! they do have any menu, they have some items written on the back wall, but it does not have all their items. The food is very delicious and I must say that they make the BEST Lo Mein in town. The price is very reasonable and its your wallet friendly.“
“This place has always served excellent food and has outstanding service. Everyone is friendly with smiles and is happy to be here. We enjoy food from here often and we love it! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options: lots of vegetarian options available, I always encourage to load up on veggies ?“
