    There's a bar downstairs but it's a great stop for a delicious lunch. The pad thai and fried rice are very well done. I also enjoy the ginger fried chicken, extremely moist. Good Japanese rice too!

    Cheap brunch (bring Amex card) Hobo noodles-overly seasoned. Do not order Strawberry & Banana pancakes-bleh! Waitress got order wrong but she was nice. Cappuccino is really good.

    This place has good food, but the hostesses are morons. They do a comically bad job at managing guests. Be prepared to wait a long time for a table as a result of their incompetence.

    Good food, but the waitress was intentionally slow to bring us our change because she knew we were in a rush.

    Contrary to popular belief, and one or two personal experiences of poor dining out here, I've learned to sit at the bar for more reliable service.

    Good food, but downstairs staff has no idea how to manage turnover. Left 10 seats of tables empty for an hour.

    Seems like restaurant suffers from identity crisis. Food left my stomach hurting immediately and inside has poor ventilation/ air circulation. Very unsatisfied. Thanks Eric for bringing me here...

    They will still look annoyed to receive your money for lunch takeout even if the restaurant is mostly empty.
