"I walked in and the counter attendant asked to go? (Before I had even arrived at the counter. So points for promptness. when I answered No, she looks startled. Then quickly came out from behind the counter and pointed to a smaller table saying There. You will sit there. I looked at her kind of surprised and astonished, answered Yes, sure. Taking a quick look around I noticed I was the only non-Asian person in the place, at the moment.I ordered the hot and sour soup, Mongolian chicken with one star (after a brief awkward conversation about spice , and steamed rice. Service was very prompt, I had tea immediately and soup right after. Had to wait a while for the teabag to steep, no worries. The hot and sour soup, however, was missing any body or underlying sweetness. It also contained some weird clear gel substance; guaranteed it 's not homemade and had likely been very quickly assembled for me. The combination of the flavor and the weird gel kind of put me off so didn 't really eat it.Mongolian chicken, however was very flavorful and had a great balance of flavors. Unfortunately, missing the traditional green onions and with very few crispy rice noodles under the stirfry.Regarding to go containers, not only do they not have compostable, when I requested something different then the two styles of Styrofoam he offered, ended up hearing about how everything else was very expensive. Knowing full well, by the tone of the discussion that he had not investigated many options, I gently persisted that compostables were not that much more expensive and that they could charge 25¢ or 30¢ more for each dish, to cover that; and one more time, how bad Styrofoam is for the environment. But upon every attempt, he simply cut me off and repeated too expensive. Eventually, those things will be outlawed and it 's a pity so many Asian restaurants are going to have to go through this transition the hard way.I will probably return sometime later this year to see if a I 'm treated like less of a freak when I walk in, b they 've upped their soup game, and c they got the message about compostable containers."

Spark Pizza

Menu • Fish • Wine • Pizza • Coffee

"We sampled the In Prosciutto Happiness, A Lotta Burrata, and the Kale Caesar with Boquerones (a salty fish similar to anchovies). The portions were generous enough to satisfy three people. The In Prosciutto Happiness, topped with a wonderful fried egg, was particularly enjoyable. The salad was packed with flavor and paired beautifully with the pizzas. They also have a commendable selection of cocktails, wine, and beer. For dessert, we treated ourselves to a scrumptious bread pudding with caramel—rich, perfectly baked, and just sweet enough. We almost couldn’t finish it! However, I felt that a coffee would have truly enhanced the meal. While they don’t serve coffee, they kindly allow you to bring your own, which I might consider—perhaps heading to Victor's afterward for a nice cup to complete the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and encourage you to share your experiences. They are genuinely committed to keeping their menu fresh and providing quick, friendly service. Great work, team!"

"We 've ordered from this Garlic Crush location for some two years and always enjoyed the food. However, their quality in service and portions has steadily declined. Today 's experience will be our final one. I just picked up an order that included the kid 's kefta plate which according to their website comes: with hummus. Includes a small drink, pita bread, and your choice of rice, fries, or salad. We have ordered this item before and were satisfied customers. This is why we ordered it again, and the attached photo is why we are upset. No rice and dry meat. Mistakes happen, so I called to notify staff and see if I can swing back by to pick up rice. The staff member that answered was rude and dismissive. He said that an order of extra pita (why by the way, is a separate line item on our receipt) somehow...exempted us from getting the rice we paid for? I expressed confusion, even reading off the menu description, but he double downed that the extra pita requested would exempt the rice paid for (so two purchases would give one item). Then he told me to just order (and pay again) another side of rice or reorder the kefta plate. In other words, there was no solution. Mistakes happen, things get busy, whatever. But the restaurant was not busy this afternoon and the response I got was not okay. This location has become increasingly problematic with missing items and no basic foundation of customer service. Good luck if you get what you pay for."

"We met some friends here and had a reservation for on a Friday night. The place was busy the whole time, and crowded at the door which is a pinch spot-not for claustrophobics. Happy hour prices include some small plates from a limited menu that can be ordered from any seat in the restaurant. Roasted cauliflower with no sauces was plain but healthy, and the chicken wings were good with two sauces one sweet and one mildly spicy. I picked this place for the gluten-free options and fresh sounding menu. It was good for both. The quinoa-kale salad with salmon or chicken extra was good. The waiter said they could not remove the jalapenos from the salad but we could not taste them at all. Salad was delicious. Recommend a reservation since this isn't a super big place."

Vinason Pho And Grill

"Not going to order here ever again. My spring roll was ripped open and spilling out. The kids pho arrived with zero veggies and toppings though I deliberately did NOT opt out of them. The meatballs in the pho were completely bland aside from being weirdly sweet and had distressingly large chunks of solid gristle throughout. Much the same could be said if the pho broth aside from the gristle. The bahn mi were quite tasty though the baguette was unfortunately rather stale and leathery crust was a bit of a chore to get through."
