“ I'm not from the bay area, but before leaving after every visit, my family always take me here too eat. Their fries and chicken wings are delicious. The fusion plates, Spicy crab fries and Kim chi fried rice are great. And you can't go wrong with the garlic noodles. Been there 3 times in the pass 5 years and the food has stayed consistently good. Definitely a place for anyone to try if they are in the Alameda area. ”
“ I'm so happy we came across this place!! It's a casual asian restaurant with a hipster vibe. We were jamming to good music (hip hop). Absolutely delicious food! Service was great, prices were fair and the drinks were pretty good too. We ordered a mango margarita, some blue drink, fried squid, korean bbq ribs, chinese broccoli with garlic sauce and kimchee fried rice. So much food and not enough room in our bellies to eat it all. I'm definitely looking forward on coming back, this place rocks! ”
“ This place is popping!!! Opened at 5pm on a Saturday and there were people waiting outside 20minutes prior. You sit where you want, they come around really fast getting water and other drink orders in. The food came out really fast too, and it was delicious! Clearly you can see nobody waited for a picture and attacked the food haha! ”
“ So good! We got the green beans, salt and pepper tofu and kimchi fried rice (minus the spam). The kimchi rice was my favorite - delicious! Salt and pepper tofu was good but wasn't very salty or peppery. Surprisingly quick and great service too (because there is almost always a line here but it was fast!) yum! ”
“ We came in here for cocktails and appetizers while waiting for dinner at a nearby restaurant. We were very pleasantly surprised at the food and drinks....the lumpia were excellent as were the salt and pepper tofu squares. Our ginger lychee martinis balanced and well-made. The place is very informal and you either order from the bar or use the app, so don't let that fool you. The food coming out, even what we didn't eat but saw on other tables, was great and made with a light hand. ”
“ The food is AMAZING here! I went for the first time the other day and ended up going right back 2 days later I tried both the chicken and the shrimp fried rice, the beef and broccoli, garlic noodles, the salt and pepper wings w/ fries (wasn’t cooked all the way so I ended up bringing them home and putting them in the air fryer), black pepper beef and their spicy crab fries. I have a video/ picture of most of these items just not the shrimp fried rice or the black pepper beef. Their alcoholic drinks aren’t the best but it gets the job done I like going with around 4 people and having each person order like 1 or 2 things and do it buffet style. ”
“ I am from Virginia and I’ve had asian cuisine all over the world as a military veteran, this is by far the best I’ve ever had. The service is dope, atmosphere dope! You are seen here. I wish the entire world treated everyone the way we were treated in this restaurant. Portions are ridiculous, you can eat it for days. The technology of ordering yourself at the table and having great food in less than 10 minutes, wow! ”
“ Good was fast and great cool chill place one waiter but she held her ground took care of the whole house........sorry didn’t catch her name but African American young lady blue an black braids you are the bomb thank you ”
