“I normally don't post while I'm eating but I had to. Just drove from the beach. and was starving. Decided to stop here before my next appointment. I'm in the sip club, so I' stop here ocasionally. Had to get my charged lemonade. ?which is always good. Today was exceptional! I don't normally eat at this location, but like I said, I was starving. So what can I say? The squash soup is off the hook! So was the southwest chicken sandwich! The girl at the drive thru was super friendly as they usually are. So I am super duper thrilled with this place! I visit alot of different locations.“
“This has been our go-to Thai place in Raleigh! We have not found better Pad Thai anywhere else in Raleigh or when visiting other cities. The takeout portions may seem a little expensive, but they give you a large portion that can feed most people two meals, so it’s worth it!“

“My first time was today and it was one of the best Seafood places I have ever eaten. Listen, this isn't a upscale place to take a date. There is a counter where you order, pay and pick up your food. You eat on picnic tables inside and drinks come from a self serve machine like Burger King. All of that said if you are just looking for really good, perfectly cooked Calabash seafood it is hard to beat this in Raleigh.“
“My family and I have visited Seoul Garden 3 times and every time the food and service has been stellar. We have always been seated quickly upon arrival. Shout out to Paul who is an amazing server, very attentive and kind even when it’s busy! Food comes out pretty quickly. Many great food options at a range of price points and you get lots of banchan included with your meal, at least during the dinner service. Highly recommend the hameul pajun, bibimbap, japchae, and soondubu. Barbecue is delicious as well. We will most definitely be back soon!“

“We stay in a hotel right next to here and stubble across this hidden treasure while taking a walk, lol. You would think this was just a quick fast food restaurant. When you walk in, it's simple and quaint, but when once you taste the food!! This restaurant sells gourmet food. We absolutely loved and enjoyed the lobster rolls. It's buttery and crunchy on the outside. The inside was juicy and cheesy with a hint of lemon butter garlic. The lobster was cooked perfectly, just melting in your mouth. The lobster mac and cheese was amazing as well. The flavors tasted similar just on noodles. I'm so glad we tried both. The prices are a little pricey but definitely worth it. I definitely recommend ?.“
“Leo's is located where Mia Francesca used to be--right next to the lobby in the Renaissance Hotel. Our daughter had her wedding reception here in its former life as Mia Francesca. So this spot is near and dear to us. We are happy to see the space reclaimed by another wonderful Italian restaurant like Leo's. On this night, they featured live music. The restaurant has elegant decor but still has a casual feel. Nice for date night. The food was absolutely delicious! For starters, we had the beef carpaccio, which was excellent as it was prepared the way we are accustomed. Hubby was delighted that it came with shallots and capers! Next, we had calamari, which was fried to perfection; nice large slices versus being bits and pieces. The batter was nicely seasoned, and the portion was generous. For our entrees, hubs had the chicken parm. The filet was pounded thin the way he likes; and seasoned just so (and not too much breading and not greasy) and topped with pomodoro sauce. The twist was that his pasta (herbed linguini) was topped with a creamy rich white sauce. Ooo yum! I had the lasagna, which came out piping hot. The noodles were cooked just so--tender and smothered in a rich bolonese sauce, which was house made. The bolonese sauce layered with the ricotta, mozzarella, pomodoro, and alfredo sauce combo was pure YUMMMY DELICIOUSNESS! Dessert was a gooey butter cake with a generous scoop of vanilla bean gelato and fresh strawberries. The cake was moist and sweet; which the strawberries countered quite well. And who doesn't love gelato? Yum yum yum! The service was top tier--from the hostess' warm greeting and big smile to Lexi, who was our lovely waitress. She was soft spoken, attentive and always smiling. She was superb! DINNER WAS FOLLOWED UP WITH 2 COMPLEMENTARY GLASSES OF CHAMPAGNE!! EXCELLENT WAY TO END A FANTASTIC DINNING EXPERIENCE! We found a new happy place.“
“First time we have visited this restaurant, but not the first time tasting their food. So, here goes. Quaint. Tidy, and tucked away in a college neighborhood. All great things. Was there a wait to be seated? There was not - but, that didn't mean this wasn't a great spot for dinner. Our first course was (of course) their hot soups. I had Wonton and my husband had David's Hot & Sour. So good. We ordered Jasmine tea - took awhile to steep, but isn't that always the way with tea? After soup, we had Fried Vietnamese Vegetable Spring Rolls. These were good, and we also had David's Original Half-Fried Dumplings. You get five of these big guys. We split the Sesame Chicken and Beef Lo Mein Egg Noodles. Even the steamed rice was delicious. Tender chunks of chicken in a sweet sauce with small stalks of broccoli, and the beef was tender and easy to chew. I would have to say that their portions were small. We did not take anything home with us (at other Asian places, and for the amount of money we spent, we would get a second at-home meal). Not the case here. You get fresh, hot food or average portion size, and you leave what's left (empty plates). Staff were accommodating. We were told at the time that their systems were acting slowly, so in order to process our order, everything had to be entered all at once. My husband and I are never rushed, and we don't enjoy everything coming out of the kitchen at once. However, we were informed of what they were doing to get hot food out to us. We appreciated this information. I would say, "go here and try it!" The "industrial" decor is fitting for its location. Everything is casual - even the person seating us wore jeans and sneakers. We will go back, and bring others with us.“
“It was as usual. Food was very good, same as the service. We had to wait 45 mins but it was Saturday evening. Also conditioner was blowing right over our table , even napping we're flying away, but server arranged for a warmer temperature set.The food was tasty, all is fine“
“Great sushi. Normally great service. Host on 3/29 wouldn’t seat us at an outdoor table (had the dogs) said they were all reserved, so we opted for takeout. We ended up eating at another location nearby. Numerous tables stayed unoccupied the entire time. Seems like host wasn’t very good. I hope this issue gets corrected because this is one of our favorite sushi spots“
“It was pretty empty because we came right before the dinner rush. Our waitress was named Shandrelle and she was super nice and helpful the entire time, all our food was perfect! Only thing was our sweet tea came out unsweetened, but they made some fresh as soon as we mentioned it. :)“
“Exceptional taste, quality ingredients, expert preparation, and presentation. It delights the senses, leaving a lasting impression of satisfaction and enjoyment. From the first bite to the last, excellent food leaves you craving more, with each dish crafted with care and precision to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience.“
“Good Vietnamese food. We've had the oxtail pho before but for the value stick with rare beef pho. Also ate the BBQ Bahn mi, bread is so soft, make sure to eat it right after it's served and you won't regret it. Vietnamese iced milk coffee is really good too and a nice way to finish off your meal. And if you want some bubble tea there is a shop a few storefronts over.“
“The new sandwich melts are good. The chicken green goddess caprese melt was excellent. My son was not a fan of the chicken and pepperoni mozzarella melt. There was not much sauce, and the sauce tasted funny he said. The French onion soup was good as always.“
