"Everything is perfectly flavored! The chicken wing bento comes with garlic noodles and an assortment of veggies, although mine was missing an egg, which was disappointing. The pickled cabbage? Absolutely amazing! The Chinese mustard greens were steamed and fairly bland, but that actually worked well since everything else was so flavorful, creating a nice balance. The garlic noodles are incredibly delicious—like, wow! I had cucumber on the side, and there’s a good amount of roasted garlic in the dish. As a Black and Asian chef, I can appreciate their attention to detail! The wings are crispy and infused with a five-spice Asian flavor. There’s a reason they’ve got a five-star rating on Yelp! You feel me? Lol."

"The Pad Thai was excellent! I really appreciate that they use Chinese chives instead of green onions like many other places do. It also had shallots, fried tofu, and I think I even found a bit of dried radish in there. It’s the closest I've experienced to the authentic dish in this area. There was a generous portion of chicken, which was juicy as well. I’d give it a 5 out of 5. The crispy egg rolls were good, but not remarkable; they serve their purpose if you're in the mood for spring rolls, so I’d rate them a 3 out of 5. The Thai iced tea was nice, but it was sweeter than usual, which overshadowed the flavor of the tea. I’d also give that a 3 out of 5."
