    I love the food here! I've had the Island Faux, the Bangkok Noodles and the Beet salad. I'm trying the Mac and Cheese now and it is divine! The servers are always friendly and the food is tasty!

    Hands down one of my fave restaurants! The food is great and there is always something new when I come here. My top favorites are the Asian tacos, Guy's fried chicken salad & lavender lemonade!

    There's good improv here, and the Cambodian steak salad is tasty. The chocolate torte is spicy! If you get it, get it with ice cream!

    It's all about the Monkey Fries. And if you are a meat-eater, go for the Pulled Pork Sandwich (it comes with Monkey fries)

    Try the Asian Tacos - 14-hr braised pork belly and slaw in steamed bao wrapper. Seriously good, but not as amazing as Chairman Bao's. =P

    This menu changes faster than most people's socks. They claim to have a gluten free menu on the website, however it's not to be found.

    Decent but not great. The salads are refreshing, but the mint could be used more sparingly. Samosa twists are ok. Mac and cheese while decent lacked flavor. Maybe the meat dishes are better.

    Wow. Terrible experience here. Definitely the worst of Oakland that I've seen. Super slow service (not really server's fault, they were short staffed). Also rude customers there. Will not return. :(

    Samosas were good. We didn't like the chicken pot pie or the Mediterranean wrap with pork.
