I love the idea of this restaurant: a variety of street foods from around the world, served casually (order at the counter then take a seat or get take out) in a funky little spot. However, I think this new restaurant has some kinks to work out if they are going to be successful.
I visited the Street Eatery on their grand opening as they had been advertising 1/2 off entrees for the entire day. From my understanding the restaurant had been open for a few days or a week at this point. At 50% off, the meals were certainly a fantastic deal.
I ordered the Korean lettuce wraps with chicken added. Normal menu price: $10. Half off special: $5.
Positives:
- Flavorful pickled veggies and dipping sauce
- At five wraps, the portion size is decent
- Fresh ingredients
- Lots of healthy options on the menu with gluten free and vegetarian offerings noted as such on the menu
Negatives:
- The addition of chicken was a $3 upcharge (no meat by default, $3 for chicken or shrimp, $4 for beef) but only one small cube of chicken was added to each of the five wraps. Because of this, you only get chicken in one bite of each wrap.
- The rice was left off my wrap. I didn't realize this until I re-checked the menu after eating.
- At my table of three diners, one person received their food almost ten minutes before the other two
- One of my dining companions ordered a hot dish that came out cold
