Rachel StineMay 31, 2014Fair number of vegetarian options, gluten free dishes, and good about catering to people with allergies. A bit too Americanized, but otherwise not bad.

Holly PayneJune 5, 2013Yulia was an absolutely fabulous server, especially with a group of 12!UpvoteDownvote- ✨Pun Bandhu ✨April 14, 2013To be honest, I'm of Thai ancestry and a bit of a Thai food snob. The Pad Thai (listed as a specialty) was greasy without authentic flavors (I couldn't taste any tamarind at all).Upvote1Downvote

Richard StockmanMarch 24, 2013Pork fried rice is always great.Worth the trip with a ginger ale.UpvoteDownvote- Try the halibut special for this month. It's a bit pricey but well worth it!Upvote2Downvote
Saranya KpsJune 4, 2015Very bad exp, even after telling that we are vegetarians, no meat and no egg in any dish, the waiter severed chicken potstickers, fried rice with egg, and didn't give the slip 4 stir fry bar.UpvoteDownvote

John GMay 29, 2014Perfect place for criminals with illegal concealed weapons to perpetrate a gun crime against the defenseless, since any "law abiding "good guys" will have left their firearms locked in the car :(
