So, weirdly, I used to work at this location before it changed owners a handful of times, so it was funny and “weird” to walk into a restaurant that I used to work at and see it completely different. But that weird point aside, I enjoyed my meal from here. It was good and well-made.
It was late Friday night, and I had just gotten off work, and wanted to grab something to eat on my way home, and this place came to mind. I knew that they had an extensive menu, so I figured they would be able to satisfy my after-work cravings. I was tempted by the Asian food, but just wanted something simple, and a spicy chicken sandwich often speaks to me, so I had to listen. However, I will be trying their Asian food the next time I visit!
While they offered many options, I opted for the spicy buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese crumbles. The chicken was fried and seasoned to perfection. I think that had a good sauce-to-spicy-ratio, and the blue cheese crumbles were a nice touch as well.
The fries were also very well seasoned with salt and pepper and they were simple and delicious and there was a massive amount of them, so we love that!
Overall, I would come back here again and try more of the menu, and maybe next time dine in and have a cocktail and an app!

I have been to In Demand several times in the last year because it is close to my house and on the way home from work. I decided to write a review because I was really impressed by the bartender Zoey and their new Connecticut Lobster Sandwich. Zoey is not the most proper (bar etiquette wise) bartender, but has such a warm and friendly personality that she makes you want to stay and chat. The Conneticut Lobster sandwich was really good! Knowing what Lobster costs these days, I am not sure how they are making a profit on it. It was amazing❤️ We can tell you guys are trying to make this place special by all the upgrades you have done. It looks great!

Every time we eat here, the food is fresh and delicious. I love how they open the inside to the outside—the ambiance is truly amazing! I’m not sure why others feel differently, because the staff is phenomenal. The young lady with the heart-shaped glasses is so knowledgeable, and her dish suggestions are always spot on.
Another huge perk? They stay open late—and there aren’t many restaurants serving food this good at those hours. The menu has plenty of variety, and the drinks are excellent too. Go to restaurant for my husband and myself. Highly recommend you try this place now!

There’s a good variety of menu options. I would highly recommend the Pad Thai! Truffle fries are yummy too but the boba is a bit watered down. Server is super kind.

Some of the best burgers in Winston and probably the best fries. I wasn't a big fan of the pho personally but the poutine makes up for it every time.

I ate here recently and got the Tofu Bao buns. And OMG they were so tasty. The buns were great, the tofu was sooo crispy. And everything on it just tasted so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend!

I want to share that prior to leaving this review I reached out to the restaurant to provide a chance to collect their thoughts and see what they had to say. I’m leaving this review after not hearing back. Seems that our experience may not matter.
We were excited to try something new! We used to eat at Hopp’s at this location and this was our first time eating in the new restaurant. Came in about 6:30 on a Saturday. There were two other people we saw other than ourselves. We sat at the bar to eat and have some drinks. Originally we had planned on spending time here trying multiple dishes and having drinks. After experiencing what we did, I quit eating my food and didn’t order anymore. Just paid and left to go elsewhere. We ordered our first round of drinks and food orders to try. Our food came out and not too long after starting to eat, we notice that the bartender starts eating off a plate and then licking her hands and sucking her fingers off. She then continues to handle food, make drinks and go in the kitchen without washing. We were immediately disgusted and quit eating and she even used her hands to put a flower in my girlfriend’s drink so naturally she’s disgusted having drank something made with non hygienic hands. I had no one else seen nor a chance to say anything to anyone else and this certainly was disturbing! It also is not something we were going to say anything to the person doing it. We were shocked! As we are processing this then the bartender starts vaping inside and exhaling right in the area.
We paid our tab and left feeling outright disgusted and the food was mediocre. Sadly a truly disappointing experience here! I chose to not put pictures of the bartender up doing this out of respect. I did take some in case I heard back from management. If for some reason they deny this happening I will be sure to post them on this review as it certainly did happen and was our reality!!
Update; I can see that it doesn’t matter about our experience to you or that there is anything productive said. You simply share that the employee is no longer there. This response has no care, empathy, relation or concern. That certainly doesn’t make us want to come back again especially since that’s all you have to say.

Ordered food with my friend last night. We weren’t able to pick up the order and requested for it to be remade as we’d paid for it the day prior. After my friend called to get the situation rectified he was coerced into deleting his negative review in exchange for a refund that should have been given anyway! This is terrible backhanded customer service experience please do not give this place your business! They’re shady!! Still to be noted we still never received the order and only received our refund after being annoyed consistently by the manager Matt.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings & Yum Yum Shimp Bao Buns. We also had a Crab Rangoon appetizer. The food was very good. I'll definitely return....
My husband loves Thai food, and I love the Sweet Potato fries. We've been here numerous times, and the quality and consistency is outstanding!

Nice little place! Everything was great, except I would say the portion size for the kebabs was slightly small for the price. The steak kebab was so fatty I could only eat maybe half of it. Overall taste of the food was good, the server was fantastic. I have celiac and they did have gluten-free options more of the burger side because they have a gluten-free bun. The Asian dishes, basically all had wheat except for some of the kebabs. The kebabs were also not served with sauce, which is not mandatory but just a personal preference. And another big issue for me was that they did not have a changing table in the bathrooms. Made it super inconvenient with kiddos.
