I'm glad I got to try this food on the last day of operations. So sorry Covid hit you guys are but it was a pleasure sitting down and eating the delicious food, watching football, conversating with the nice employees, while listening to my favorite dubstep. I wish all the employees and owners well. Now I'll have to drive to Lakewood, and I will! Thanks guys!

I eat here often, one week I ate here every day. Never have an issue. Idk who the hell is at the register answering the phone today/tonight with a scraggly a** beard and BAD A** ATTITUDE but he is tainting your good atmosphere for real. He was rude over the phone and rude in person. He had 30+ minutes to change the attitude from the phone to my pick up and still chose to be an a*** I love this place but he is doing too much.

Yelp hours say they're open at 2:30pm on a Saturday. Nobody answered the phone but they're ose so I figured I'd drive over. They were closed, no sign posting why or anything. What gives?

I came here with my girlfriend and her little one yesterday for an early dinner and with the intent on trying a taco one spicy level less than the death one. We arrived and while gazing at the menu I ordered the Ninja Beef Fries and ended up saying why not and got a Death Taco to try as well. With anything that can cause harm, I had to sign a waiver as well. We sat down and waited maybe 10 minutes at most before the food came out. My death taco came with a pair of gloves to be worn and I was given advice on coping with the heat as well. I took one bite of my nachos first, the beef was tasty and chopped finely, and the melted cheese was good. I then decided to eat my death taco. I'm a person with good tolerance of spicy, but this, this was on a whole different level.. it tasted good at first few bites until I finished it, then this is what happened: - 2-3 minutes after my upper body became numb and I felt like I was going to pass out, which lasted about 5 minutes. - After the numbness went away, burning in my throat hit, bad. Nothing helped it go away, drinking water only soothed it temporarily and the burning continued. Even breathing hurt. This lasted about 10 minutes. - Then, the eye of the storm. I was able to eat more of my beef nachos as the throat burn went away. This lasted about 8 minutes. - Suddenly, my stomach had a slight pain which got worse real quick. I hurried to the restroom and unfortunately someone was in there. A few seconds after trying to open the door the person exited and I ran in and sat on the toilet. I didn't have to p*** or yak, my stomach hurt in an undescribable way. I was literally freaking out and groaning in pain staring at the ceiling praying it would end. I had a cold sweat going on and could not walk because it hurt so much. My girlfriend came to the rescue, bringing me a chocolate milk and a roll of tums (I ate the whole roll..). It helped and after a few minutes I was able to get up and make it to the car. Overall I spent around 20 minutes in the restroom. We made it home and as soon as we parked my stomach began to ache again, so I downed two glasses of milk and laid down. The pain eventually went away and constipation began. At the moment of this post I am still constipated, but there is no pain, so all good! I can't speak for everyone on that taco and I'm sure everyone experiences it differently, but that was the spiciest thing I've ever eaten!

I had a good experience here. The cashier was really friendly. She suggested the tater tots which I went with and added hot cheetos and avocado and it was delicious! I will definitely be returning.

They self proclaim they serve "stoner" food. So if you like strong salty and sweet flavors this is your place. My Husband and I do, even though we are stone cold sober when we go haha. We really liked the chicken and beef bowl and the plate. The beef is an explosion of flavors. And we aren't big chicken lovers but we also loved their chicken. It wasn't dry and it had a very good flavor. Lwe also seriously enjoyed the chicken quesadilla. We asked for extra sauce. Looking forward to going back to try other dishes, and even to go back and indulge our taste buds again in what we had before.

Horrible. Ordered on door dash and forgot one of my orders. The food that did arrive was gross. If you like nothing but fat then this is the place for you. Very low quality meat. Very disappointed

It was a pleasant surprise. I order the nacho fries which came with hot Cheetos and a sweet sauces. The flavors were great together. I will be back. For the sweet potato tacos.

Great food, friendly staff, great service . I will be back. They have a couple of challenges that I have to take because I love spicy foods. I also, have always wanted to try ghost peppers. See you there soon.

Great food Great service. I can't wait to take their challenge. I have always wanted to try ghost peppers. I had their Tuesday Taco special and the short rib plate both were very good. My daughter had their nachos, ohhhh so good . I will be back for more.

Tried to come here with some friends at 9:30 on a Friday... They were open for to go orders only and we were going to bring a Party of 6.... Oh well what should I expect from a Restaurant who ripped off its menu idea from Ninjas with Appetite in Orange

Let me ask you, if you are in charge of an Asian restaurant would you run out of rice? Yep they had no rice for the bowl I ordered, asked me if I'd like French fries instead... are you freaking kidding me?

We were going to order food from here because we were passing through but realized that they don't have outdoor seating although it looks like it does from the street.. the guy in the front wasn't wearing a mask initially and was pretty rude about our dog. I understand that you may not allow pets but there was no sign nor did we know the set up of the restaurant I'd say it's a place to avoid because of the service. I believe it's only takeout because there aren't any chairs anywhere???They should update their info online. Avoid this place

Good food and the service was acceptable ?...
