Cute spot for a descent pho, chips and guacamole were a solid starter and the soup was solid. Service was attentive but nothing exceptional. the vibe was more of a bar type than restaurant but fun if you’re coming in for drinks. All and all a solid spot for relaxed food and drinks.

I had an unpleasant experience because I asked for a take-out box for my food multiple times. They finally gave it to me and I accidentally left it on the table for 10 seconds while almost leaving the restaurant. I immediately realized I was going to forget my to-go box but the waiter already threw it away and said nothing to remedy the situation besides “sorry.” (I left the majority of the food in the box). Although the food tasted good, I was not happy about the way this situation was handled.

1. Great food
We Ordered: (recommended) Beef Pho, Street Corn, Spring Rolls, Seaweed Salad, Green Tea, and (recommended) Tacos.
2. Attentive and tuned in waitstaff
(Ideally need to check in a little bit less often during conversations at the table - but no points deducted for making an effort because that’s super respectable stuff to put into your work)
3. Variety and quality at the same time - breaking away from Gordon Ramsay’s popular heuristic general truth that restaurants with too many items or too much variety can’t be trusted. This one can.

Really great experience here. Very nice location, plenty of parking, very pleasant service. I got the Bahn Mi with Beef Bulgogi. The sauce wet the bread a little too much but the flavors were exceptional. I will likely get the pork belly next time. My husband got the Chilaquiles and again the flavors were delightful. That pork belly was incredible. An unexpected star of the show though was the curry mayo. YUM!
Pricing on par with similar restaurants and a great value for the quality of food.
Look forward to going back soon!!

Got take out from Lucha Tigre, and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The Korean BBQ bibimbap was unbelievable, and I will definitely be back to get it again.

Consistently great food and lovely staff!
Our waitress was new and didn’t know answers to questions that can be answered by simply reading the menu. We got the ramen/posole, it didn’t taste anything like posole and they don’t give you cilantro or radishes/cabbage/onion/lime to put in it. They also don’t have any spicy Mexican salsa. The atmosphere was nice, we sat outside. The tabletop was uneven which made our soup spill and we had to eat it hanging off of the edge of the table. Wish they offered aguas frescas. Overall I wouldn’t go back if it was my choice.

Great all around, from the service, atmosphere, and food! We ordered the shrimp fresh rolls (already eaten by the time I thought to take a picture), pork dumplings, spicy chicken noodles, and bulgogi tacos. Everything was delicious and on point!
