Sat at the bar waiting 15 minutes while the bartender/waitress talked to a customer about their “creative skills” and gossiping. Didn’t take my drink order or say anything to me whatsoever walked by me multiple times. Used to be a favorite spot, now with the inconsistent and poor service I will likely not return. Very disappointed in the new ownership’s management.

The 4.6 on google reviews must be from the previous owners because this place had problems. The photo attached shows you what the $15 dollar burrito looks like after I cut it at home. 15% meat and rice/beans for the rest. The drunken noodle was very average as well. They ran out of knives and forks so we had to use a plastic fork. They didn’t have sour cream so they didn’t even bother bringing it out. Seems like they have major management problems. Sad

New ownership will sink what was a good restaurant. I waited 27 minutes for blackened fish tacos that had maybe a tablespoon of fish in them and not much slaw. Blackend? Not really. The plate was 2/3rds chips with 2 small tacos that wouldn't fill a 6 year old. I'll never go back.

Last night was our first time back since they relocated to VIB from their old food truck location. I ordered the drunken noodles with grilled tofu, which I don't think I'd tried before. Wow, best meal I've had out in a while. The lowest heat option had just a little burn but not lingering, sauce was flavorful and umami without being too salty or overpowering the other flavors, noodles well cooked (al dente), tofu was firm with a nice chargrilled flavor (you could tell it was actually grilled), and there were some nice fresh additions like broccoli florets, shredded carrots, cilantro (and maybe mint?), plus lime slices. The single portion was huge, enough for two meals easily, and a steal at less than 10 bucks. My husband got a (huge!) burrito with chicken, mojo sauce, and fresh guacamole and enjoyed his as well. They have local beers and kombucha on tap, and some nice looking homemade desserts. Atmosphere was pleasant, modern hotel lobby, quiet, with nice large windows. The lady at the counter was very friendly and smiling the whole time she interacted with us. Food came out fast but it was clear they cooked it to order. Eating my leftover noodles for lunch and they're still on point next day and after being nuked XD All around great experience. We'll be back!

Our first time here and we love the place already. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We tried the kimchi falafel and the pineapple fried rice, both were delicious with very generous servings for the price. The kimchi had a pleasant amount of heat ??Vegetarian options: Pretty much everything starts vegan which is awesome, and the crispy tofu is incredible.

I'm in town for work and found this place on Google.What a gem! Fresh, bursting with flavor food that was amazing start to finish.The perfect amount of spice to compliment the flavors.I added chicken to my dish, and wow, it was so juicy and flavorful!My next trip down I will definitely be returning.

This is a Thai restaurant with vegetarian selections as well. If you don't like hot food, don't go here. I ordered the orange chicken with tofu. It burned my stomach so much that I was sick for three days. There was no indication on the menu that this dish would be hot. A unfortunate situation. I didn't like the decor. It was very modern and cold, clinical. I would not recommend this restaurant. Even my husband said it was terribly hot food and he likes hot food. The food was cold also, and we waited a very long time for our food. All and all, not a good experience.

Pineapple rice with shrimp was not like others have described. I was very leary that the shrimp was under cooked. The rice is very , almost to pineapple flavor. The teriyaki sauce is weak. I noticed that othernpatrons didn't finish their meals either and I don't think it's the portion size either otherwise we'd take the rest home. Atmosphere is nice, location sketchy.

Delicious vegan options. The Cauliflower Wings are good, depending on the cook- can be overcooked, and old oil-tasting, at times. Orange sauce is very tasty. Vegan aioli (sic) dipping sauce is really good, too. Another temporary dish for Vegan Chef Challenge is the falafel kimchee wrap- is so ooo good! Get it until January 31st! Put it on the permanent menu! The falafel is really good!Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian options. Unique and flavorful. Staff is great!
