Location great. Prices fantastic. Service ok. Food ok.
Love the feel and location. Perfect weather - the front was open and air was flowing through. Lots of hard surfaces. Lots of noise. Aparently we were 1 of at least 4 groups I noticed celebrating birthdays. So many hard surfaces though makes the sound VERY loud in the space. Did I mention the noise? Ended up only being able to chat with the two people sitting right next to me - the others at the table were on their own to visit. Kind of made spending time with the birthday boy a miss.
Drink menu large and prices good. My soda was kept full. Check.
Service was ok. Our server was very nice. Only one complaint. When you have folks delivering food to a table (especially a group) - figure out a system to know who gets what dish. I was the closest to where the servers come with food - so I'm being asked to match dishes to guests. See noise comment above. I have no clue who ordered what. You do - you took the order - figure it out! (I do remember asking if server wanted to take our meal orders when we ordered appetizers. She said no -I can only remember up to maybe 8 things - I'd have to go get a piece of paper to take more ... so I suppose "who gets what" would have overloaded the system.). I guess what irritated me about it most is that once our end of the table - 5 of us - had our food - and everyone at the other end had none - I'm guessing - using my stellar reasoning powers - that any new dishes coming from the kitchen are more likely to belong at the OTHER end of the table - might make more sense to ask at that end to find the owner If your ordering system has no linkage to guests.
Food. Don't know how others at our table felt - I do know I didn't hear any complaints (or should I say I COULDN'T HEAR IF THERE WERE ANY) - but I just have to say it was ok - nothing special. If there were comments - it was too loud for me to hear them (I did mention the noise, right?). I ordered the pork potstickers. Deep fried and crispy. They were good - and the peanut sauce and soy type sauce were ok as well. Good start. I ordered the Thai Chicken bowl. The couple of plantain nuggets I had were seriously the best thing I tasted. The chicken was tough - a little over cooked. The sauce on it didn't give me any "wow" moments. The bulk of the dish was cabbage and rice - a LOT of it. Not a lot of natural flavor there. Texture yes. Flavor no. Don't know if it was missing a sauce or something but a pile of blah. I did use the left over potsticker sauce to flavor it ... But that was a little overpowering.
Bottom line - I'd go again if the group wants to go, the prices are great and the location is fun. The food - it's ok. I wasn't expecting a Michelin star but for Yelp stars gave me an expectation of more. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. And I'd keep my group small so we can visit better.
