“I visited this restaurant 2 days ago but have had their food before. Ordered the wonton soup, Crab Rangoon and sweet & sour chicken. Everything was at the perfect temperature, big portions. The chicken was crisp. Very delicious. The service was great. I would definitely eat here again!“
“I've had many varied very very tasty dishes here. Normally I get the pho, My friends off and get things like the fried rice, and I always love their salad rolls, I think that's what they call them there.Even the sandwiches are good.They told me their pho is gluten free.This is a Coke shop.“
“The food from here was great. I'd never had pho nor a Bahn mi, and I enjoyed both. The "kids size" of the pho was absolutely plenty. The only minus was the service - the people there absolutely radiated "I hate my job." The kid with the greasy mullet had a scowl on his face the whole time and the girl seemed like anything you asked her was an annoyance. Pho I would try again - this place, maybe not.“
“This one is for the people. I've spent the last three years of my life living in the metro Detroit area before moving back to Cbus. Detroit has elite thai food everywhere. (Remember this if you visit Detroit). I have tried most of the thai places in the city and hadn't found a good bowl of pad thai....UNTIL NOW! Bamboo Thai Kitchen would stand up to the best thai takeout places in Detroit. Also if you read this far...I shall bestow a gift upon you. Order Pad Thai with woon sen noodles. Don't think just trust. If you like a little heat get them medium, and when you love them come back and thumb up this review to bless others :)Parking: Easy parking.“
“My first time coming here and had a blast. Bun Bo Hue is great as usual like all Vietnamese restaurants. Wait time was perfect to prep you up for cravings. And the restaurant inside was nice and clean. I definitely hope to come back when I get the chance or when I’m in the area. My advice, if you know how to get around through these complex roads of Columbus, then getting some great food here shouldn’t be too difficult.“
“Nice hidden secret..Great food and good service w friendly staff.Small quiet place with 7-10tables. Located in the Busch Town center plaza and not the greatest plaza (homeless drug activity) But just lock ur car doors and park in front of the restaurant big picture window..Don't sweat it .It's worth it...“
“I've lived here almost ten years and this has been on my list for a while. Finally just tried. I did take out but kind of wish I dined in. Friendly people and pho just seems like something you should eat right out of the kitchen. We had the pho with rare beef and meatballs, the egg roll, and fried wontons. Would definitely try again and recommend to others!“
“Kind of a tiny place but very cozy. I got sweet and sour chicken and an egg roll. The food was definitely made from scratch so it was really tasty. The egg roll was cabbage forward which I liked and cooked perfect. The sweet and sour chicken was a light breading so it was tasty and the meat was “
“This is a small family owned business and the pho is DELICIOUS. I tried it for the first time three weeks ago, and have gone back once a week since because it's so good. Definitely hope this place gets the attention and business they deserve bc I can't imagine life without it now.“
“The store is not a big oneThe Chef Special on the menu also has some American Chinese food like Zuo Zong Chicken and Sesame Chicken?But there are a few dishes that are very suitable for Cantonese tastes [Meng Meng Da R] [Slanted Eyes R], so I ate at this restaurant twice in two consecutive days..?????Stir-fried bean sprouts with shredded duckI think their duck shreds are torn from the roast duck, and they also sell roast duck in their store. The duck meat and bean sprouts are stir-fried evenly, and some shredded green onions and carrots are added for seasoning. It goes very well with rice without getting too hot..???? Bean curd and mutton stew/beef brisket stewThese two dishes are put together because the taste of both dishes is similar. It is served in a casserole. The casserole is not big, but the portion is still quite large, enough for three to four people to share. There is lettuce at the bottom. The lettuce absorbs it. The sauce is very tasty and goes very well with rice..?????Fried green beans, fried kale with garlicThe fried green beans were eaten the day before and I didn’t take any pictures. I loved the stir-fried kale with garlic. It used all kale sprouts (choi sum). It was very delicious. Two people finished a big plate..???Salt and pepper chicken wingsThe only thing I don’t recommend is the fried food in their store. It’s not that it’s not delicious, but it’s too fried and dark. I ordered this dish the day before and didn’t take any pictures. Then when I went there the next day, the clerk gave me a real indication, saying that the oil used for deep-frying the food would be darker due to the long-term frying of different foods. It’s too healthy and easy to get angry, so we don’t recommend ordering salt and pepper..?Overall, the taste is good. But they don't have many choices on the menu. The rest are all American-style Chinese dishes~“
“Their yellow curry is sooooooo good!!! The flavor is amazing! I get mine with tofu and it's high quality tofu - not that scrawny kind but hearty, and again, fresh tofu. Their vegetables are always so fresh and crisp. I love this place. And imagine this: reasonable prices with generous portions. ❤️“
“Taqueria El GirasolTaqueria El Girasol is a recent addition to the Westerville dining scene and is one of my new favorites. Owned by a family originally from Mexico City they offer traditional Mexican food from a slightly abbreviated menu. The abbreviated menu doesn’t bother me because it is a small restaurant and I would rather they do a few things well than have to cut corners with a larger menu. One thing Taqueria El Girasol offers that is usually missing from local Mexican menus is breakfast dishes.Doing my due diligence I read several previous reviews of the establishment and I will now address some of the earlier concerns in one sentence or less. The chips were warm, the salsa was thick, the horchata was cold and the food was deliciously seasoned.The FoodToday I chose Huevos A La Mexicana. Eggs scrambled with tomato, onions and Jalapeños. It was cooked perfectly and not overcooked as is easy to do. It was well seasoned and served hot. It was in my opinion a good value for the money spent. I have never ordered a dish here that once finished left me hungry. Speaking of good values the desserts here are easily large enough for two servings and are absolutely delicious.The FacilityThe signage in front makes the restaurant easy to find even though it is situated almost in the corner spot of a small strip. Once inside the dining is nicely decorated with artworks that pay homage to both Mexico and Central Ohio. The table arrangement is nicely laid out and not cramped. Overall the dining room and restrooms are very clean and neat in appearance.The PeopleThe people who represent your business can make or break your business. The people I have talked to at Taqueria El Girasol are some of the nicest I have met in a while. They have always welcomed me in or welcomed me back and have always made me feel truly welcome. They have also always thanked me for my visit. Not just one of my favorite restaurants but also some of my favorite people.Personal observations and preferencesNot much I would change about Taqueria El Girasol. Would like the option of flour or corn tortillas with some dishes but to be fair it may be something that all I had to do was asked for. Also business hours of 10:00AM-10:00PM are not conducive breakfast dining and the breakfast dishes on the menu. I understand this is a family business and the importance of balancing life with work, but I’d be interested to see whether they would be more busy between say 8:00AM to 10:00AM or 8:00PM-10:00PM.Final thoughts and recommendationsOverall I would have no reservations recommending Taqueria El Girasol to a friend or family member, or for that matter taking a friend or family member there to eat.“
