"Even amid the covid 19 pandemic, all of the staff gave us an excellent visit for takeout. We wanted a sweet tea and was told it is different. It's actually a lavender tea. Amazing doesn't even do it justice. They even refilled us a few times as we waited for our food. The Thai Sweet Sour Chicken was phenomenal. The Red Curry Duck was awesome. We ordered a couple of sushi rolls that were fabulous, including one that had salmon and eel, with a slightly sweet sauce. They even sent us with a sample of another type of sushi to see our interest. However, the highlight of our meal is my new all time favorite sweet treat, which is the Sticky Rice with Mango. It isn't too sweet but just perfect with a sweetened coconut milk. I am in love!! Hats off to the staff who gave perfect customer service and went above and beyond for us!"

"first: FIVE stars for eating. it was delicious. so fresh! the brot was excellent, everything was skillfully joined by the sandwich manufacturer. even the chips were delicious! second: two stars for cleanliness. it was pretty bad. doors, tables, even outside the tables, all grimmy. the place needs a good cleaning! last: three stars for service. it took forever to get our food. the commands were secured and no one was in a hurry behind the counter. that was frustrating. overall we go back because it was so good to eat and that was worth waiting. hoping it will be cleaned and the service will improve."

"This place is phenomenal. It is my third visit (only for me) and it is always a pleasant surprise. The staff is always so great and welcoming especially for those who are not familiar with this type of food, because it can be intimidating order sushi if you can not see it first or one of the many fusion plates, but they are very helpful in this way. I try something different every time and every time I was not satisfied with my decisions. I have to say that Bulgolgi is excellent with white rice and the Miami role is something I could eat daily. The raven is also great. I lived in South Korea for a year and fell in love with Bogolgi and it's the best I had personally. I couldn't talk more about this place. If you are curious or in the mood for Asian fusion, I suggest you give this place a try."

"I'm from the Bronx, New York, and this is my favorite pizzeria down south. The staff is friendly and makes an effort to remember your name, and the food is excellent—no complaints at all! It's one of my regular stops each week."

"My sister found this place just a month before she moved and invited my wife and guys to enjoy it. Amazing Barbecue... I look forward to the bride and I was not disappointed. The wet ribs are now an absolute family love."
