Disgusting bartenders with bad attitudes especially the little girl name chasity. She kept rolling her eyes and giving stink eyes. Chad is a huge perv. He kept being touchy with my wife and my wifes friends. Bobae seemed like a decent person but her sister sara needs major therapy. At her old age she has nothing better to do except gossip. If you're insecure just say so. She definitely suffers from mental illness and should seek help. Not good for business if you hate everybody for no reason. Nobody wants to hear you cry and make up stories to get others to be on your side.

Went to Back Alley as one of the places to check off our friend's list. The menu was Korean influenced and we were disappointed to learn that the chef relocated to a sister restaurant. Be aware because all the photos of the food on Yelp is based off the old Thai menu. The current menu is pared down to the regular local Korean favorites like Kalbi, pancakes, Kim Chee fried rice and chicken karaage. The ambience was small bar-type seating (booths/tables) but the overall place was clean. The bartender Chad was very engaging and actually took over the table service from our waitress (who didn't seem to know much as it seemed she was new to the job).

Chad… nothing more needs to be said. The service is amazing and the food is to die for. A hole in the wall that feels like a resort experience.

We came here for Bobae's handroll night but also wanted to try some of the other food the bar menu offers. Parking lot is right next door or they have street parking. We sat down and were given a menu. Fiance ordered a beer (they don't have draft) and I got the papaya salad- lao style at medium spicy. Wow the papaya salad was great. Even though I got medium it was spicy but still tolerable. My water was refilled a lot that night hahaha. Will be coming back to try the nem Khao, wings, and crab fried rice.

This jem was a surprise! This is an industry spot so you know food is going to be good. Small space with cute ambiance. We ordered the garlic chicken wings and chicken kimchee fried rice. The chicken was wonderfully crispy and loaded with freshly chopped garlic. When they say garlicky, they mean it! The fried rice was also very tasty and came in a large bowl topped with an egg. Highly recommend, bring your friends!

The food is amazing. Service is a little slow (prob understaffed). But the staff is really nice. Also if you order the crab fried rice, its nice to know it takes a really long time to cook! So if you are planning on ordering this, I recommend ordering it as soon as you are seated and look at the menu for other items later. Will def come back again.
