Java House is the place I go when I'm craving veggie pad thai and other Asian food -- they do it particularly well and I love how many veggie options they offer.
My rating is really 3.5 stars -- it's not spotless, and the service is pretty nonchalant, and I hate walking through the kitchen to get to the bathroom (normally don't care about stuff like this, but it's kind of..icky). However, it's one of my favourite go-to places.
- super cheap
- great beer
- they don't seem to mind if you sit and work/read for a while
- food is good; again, the Asian food is great; other menu items are a bit less so
Would I take out of town guests to Java House? No. Am I there almost every week? Yup. Enough said.
