Stopped in for lunch with a friend for my first time here. Enjoyed the food and price/value was good and portion was large. They haven't been open long but word seems to be spreading.
Easy to get concept (explained well by Chris M. here). "Asian Chipotle" sums it up (in a good way!).
After talking with the owner (hands-on guy, very helpful), I had him make me a wrap with their Thai Chicken just the way he likes it. Got the Asian Slaw, Cilantro-Garlic Mayo, fresh jalapenos, fresh cilantro and a bit of Srichacha hot sauce.) All great choices! The end result was a $6.50 giant overstuffed burrito I attacked with a fork. About $8 with tax and a drink, not bad. Sure beats fast food or Sakkio in the mall, but faster and less expensive than a real sit down...it's just lunch!
He let us sample some of the sauces (the pepper sauce was a bit underwhelming - a tad spicy but a bit too salty for my taste, but he mentioned that they don't add any salt to the other ingredients, so it would blend however.) The two types of chicken were a bit hard to distinguish but were well cooked (grilled, diced) and had just enough flavor without overpowering the sauce selections.
I'm definitely looking forward to a return visit to try some of their other options!
