I've been here a handful of times and it is consistently top notch asian comfort food. Vietnamese lemongrass noodles is light and flavorful. The bulgogi beef bibimbap is packed with fresh flavors and perfect rice and pickled vegetables. Good portion sizes. Prices are comparable to the other city kitchen restaurants (about $17-19 for these bowls)Parking: 2 parking garages in bakery square. Free for 2 hrsWheelchair accessibility: Flat entry, chairs can easily be moved, parking garage has elevator

The Allderdice Class of 1970 had a fabulous ice-breaker event on Sept. 3! Joel Johnson, the Director of Marketing, was an absolute DREAM to work with! He helped us make this event a most memorable evening. The food was delicious, drinks were fantastic (it was nearly 90 degrees!), waitstaff were friendly and helpful, and the environment was absolutely perfect for the 75 of us who attended. I will be back often, on my own, and highly recommend this location for any social event!

Loud environment for old folks like me (67years). Food was decent. Service was excellent ---friendly, helpful folks. No place on smart phone order page to indicate food allergies.Vegetarian options: I had to ask about dairy-free options due to dairy allergy.

Outstanding unique food with impressive diversity. Definitely an inviting and inspiring cross-cultural hub. Predicting that this will be the place launching new food trends and setting the bar.Vegetarian options: The whole suite of restaurants covers the scope and scale of any palate. Vegetarian, comfort food, Italian—the city square venues are like going on a food tour!

sneaky owners, sneaky staff. If you want real Asian cuisine look elsewhere. I'll never support a business that undermines and uproots the very foundation that got them where they are.

I've tried this place twice. This food is.. not good. This last time I threw almost my whole meal away which is sad because it wasn't cheap. Clearly not much effort put into their stuff. The $21 poke bowl was so bland even salt and seasonings couldn't help it and the tuna was definitely off. Soggy fries with too much sauce.. Had I eaten it there I would have asked for a refund but I took it to go and was disappointed at home and left hungry. Won't be going back. Thankfully, my girlfriend ordered from one of the other restaurants (Revival, I think. It was a newer one) and shared hers with me. It was better, but the bar was set pretty low. I used to be a fan of the galley concepts, but it seems they're just throwing in places that can put food out fast and there are plenty of those that do it way better. McDonald's, or panda express, for example..

I recently dined at Somi Restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. But what really blew me away was the food - specifically, the poke nachos and spicy ramen stir fry.The flavors in the dish were expertly balanced and the spiciness level was just right for me. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the vegetables added a nice crunch and freshness to the dish. It was an explosion of flavors in every bite and I couldn't get enough!I highly recommend Somi Restaurant to anyone who appreciates delicious food and great service. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu items!

The perfect go-to happy hour spot for large, constantly changing groups. With myriad large tables, both indoors and out, and no reservations, it is easy to have an impromptu event at the galley. Orders, including drinks, are sent through your phone and quickly brought to your table. Everyone gets their separate tabs and doesn't have to worry about making a server's job difficult by switching seats and adding friends. The food is notoriously expensive for the portion size, so we typically stick to drinks. The happy hour deals are surprisingly great, given the price of food. An IC light will run you less than $3!

Drinks are good, space is clean and authentically pleasing. Ordered food from the second from the left (forget the name) To go though, and I told them I'd be at the bar. They said they'd bring it out to me.. a little over 25 minutes later I turn around to see my food was done and sitting on their pickup table for who knows how long. I'd understand if it was busy but I looked in and saw the employees on their phones so clearly it was moreso laziness. Food was mediocre- I had two orders worth of fries jammed into a small bag and it was basically a smashed block of soggy fries. Sandwiches lacked flavor. The bartender didn't acknowledge my existence until I asked for a drink.
Love the variety here! With so many food and drink options, there's something here for everyone. The atmosphere is very casual. Water, dishes and napkins are sitting out at little side tables in the dining area for patrons to help themselves to.

2nd trip, and I am so disappointed with both the customer service, and food.... very inconsistent between first and second trip. I ordered general tso, but asked for noodles, since I don't eat rice, and was told that extra on protein is not available, but was charged five bucks for a pittyful portion, it appears that I was given one portion, and it was split into two....and it was dry!!!
