"SummaryThe food is so good I could come here once a week!It's a bit pricey, though, so take care of your wallet . . . EnvironmentThis restaurant is very small; about 1/3 of it is a small bar counter, and the rest is a few tables facing a large glass window wall. The decor is kind of simple, and overall it's got a nice kind of vibe for a date. Parking is *typically* pretty easy in the plaza lot. Food1. Crying Tiger Ribeye Steak $25 : This comes grilled and sliced, served with a sour, spicy, salty, and slightly sweet sauce with some veggies cut tiny I think onions and some other things . The sauce is actually *really* good it definitely is what elevates the dish to amazing. Without the sauce, the steak is still really good great meat flavor chargrill flavor , but with the sauce, this dish becomes a go to every time.2. Keylime Seabass $40 : I actually didn't like this. The price is really high for the portion, and it was overwhelmingly sour from the lime. 3. Mushroom Tofu Terrific $16 : My wife is vegetarian so I gotta order some stuff for her, and this is one of my favorites. It's a salty mushroom and tofu dish, but it's absolutely amazing! The sauce is delicious, and the I like the texture of the mushroom and tofu. It's a great portion for its price, too. Highly recommend!4. Shrimp Panang Pumpkin Curry $16 $18 : So I've actually had the shrimp version and the vegetarian version exact same thing without shrimp . The shrimp doesn't really absorb the curry flavor, so it's basically the same curry. The flavor of the curry is amazing! I personally don't like pumpkin, but I'll eat around the pumpkin and my wife eats the pumpkin. The shrimp are large and tasty. If you want to order a curry, I highly recommend trying this one. The portion is good for its price.5. Crispy Hainan Chicken Garlic Rice $19? : This one is absolutely amazing in terms of portion, texture, and taste. You get a deep fried chicken sliced kind of like a chicken katsu. It's served on a bed of very garlicky rice. It's served with a sweet and sour sauce, and a light soup. My go to's are basically this and the crying tiger."

"My family and I came here on a Saturday night and were seated immediately! It was pretty empty when we went, so service was fast and the waitstaff was friendly. It was quiet to talk too, but food was pretty average. I'd say they definitely are stronger in their curry dishes compared to everything else. We ordered:1. Appetizer 1: Roti Canai smaller than expected; it seemed like they were from a frozen bag, to be honest. BUT the peanut curry sauce that came with it was tasty, more heavy on the curry flavor than peanut butter, but we enjoyed it!2. Appetizer 2: Chicken Satay also smaller than expected with just 4 mini skewers. However, the chicken was juicy and yummy, and came with the same peanut curry sauce. Both appetizers were $8. 3. Entree 1: Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles) with chicken This was my favorite dish; the flat noodles were soft and chewy and flavorful. It had a great kick to it, so beware of spice! The chicken was a bit dry, but we ate it with our leftover peanut curry sauce and it was good.4. Entree 2: Panang Curry with pork The curry had super strong lemongrass flavor and coconut, but I like lemongrass so it was great to me. There was also a good mix of vegetables to meat, though the pork was too chewy for me.5. Entree 3: Sweet and Sour Fish you get to choose whether you want red snapper, tilapia, or salmon; we chose red snapper. The fish was super crispy and tender. However, this fish was a bit of a letdown because the toppings were too chunky and didn't exactly match the flavor of the sauce. Also, one of the toppings, pineapple chunks, were not fresh and definitely canned. The sweet and sour sauce was also a bit too runny and more on the sour end than sweet."
