The no-tipping policy is a nice touch, staff were super friendly. Happy hour deals on drinks and small plates were solid. Cozy spot with a cool Japanese baseball theme.

The service was quick and nice, but honestly what stood out was how comfortable the place is. The booths are roomy, the lighting is soft, and everything just feels clean. It&#39;s a really chill spot to just sit and enjoy a meal.

The chicken pho is so flavorful and the broth tastes really fresh. Kim is great and always remembers my usual order.

Menu has a solid vegetarian section. The regular pho is huge and soul-warming. Stayed open late, which was perfect for grabbing a bowl after a long day. Their house red was a surprisingly good match with the rich broth.

The worker-run co-op has a great vibe. Their patio is spacious and sunny, perfect for a relaxed afternoon drink.

The Ethiopian jazz was a nice touch. Cozy spot, dim lighting. Got my food quick, which is what I needed. Good for a fast lunch.

The chicken nuggets for kids were a lifesaver. My little one actually ate them! The place was packed and loud, but it worked for our casual family dinner.

The vegan turkey dill havarti sandwich was a nice surprise! The cheese texture was spot-on, no weird aftertaste.

Been coming here for years, and the Juicy Lucy burger never disappoints. That molten cheese center is always spot-on. Also, you gotta get the fried pickles &ndash; perfectly crispy and tangy. The cheese curds are solid, too.

Solid spot for a quick lunch in Excelsior. Ordered the sashimi platter. Fish was fresh, cuts were generous. Got my food fast, which is key for me. Place was pretty chill too. No fuss, just a good, quick bite.

Love the big screens and the communal tables here. It&#39;s such a fun, lively spot to grab a beer with friends. The energy is just right for hanging out.

Gary&#39;s is a cozy spot with a great ambiance. The combination of elegance and a relaxed vibe makes it perfect for both casual and special occasions.

The staff is so friendly. Our server was really helpful with the menu and made sure they accommodated my dietary restriction. Service was quick and gracious, which is nice when you&#39;re trying to pick a wine to go with your meal.

Been coming here for years, the banchan spread is still generous. My go-to is the bibimbap, huge portion for the price. Feels like a proper meal, not just a snack.

Leftovers for days! The pho was massive, came with all the fixings. Egg rolls were crispy outside, still moist inside. Chicken stir-fry had a nice sauce, lots of veggies. Staff checked in a few times.

Service was super fast and friendly, which was nice. The hibachi-style meal was solid for the price, and the portions were definitely generous. A good find if you&#39;re not looking for a huge, fancy teppanyaki show.

The portions are huge, which is perfect for sharing with friends. We ordered a bunch of things and still had leftovers. The veggies were super fresh and not oily at all.

The gluten-free scones are a nice touch. It&#39;s a cozy, welcoming space, though it does get pretty packed. I just like the vibe here.

The Bentley Roll is my go-to. I like how they give you a little sheet to mark your happy hour choices. It&rsquo;s a nice touch. The space itself is really chill, with a good vibe for just hanging out.

Had the Sheik Babani and Kubey Brinj here with my friends. The flavors were so rich and authentic! The cozy vibe was perfect for our little catch-up, even if it got a bit loud when it filled up.

The pho here is a solid deal. Got a big bowl, plus an appetizer and a drink. With tip, it was still under $15. The broth had good depth, and the noodles were just right. Hard to beat for the price.

Stopped in for a quick bite. The chicken had a real nice crunch to it, and the seasoning was spot on. Food came out fast, which was perfect for a casual lunch.

Clean spot, good lighting. The tea stood out &mdash; really nice depth of flavor. It paired well with my meal, a pleasant surprise for a casual dinner.

The tuna poke was so fresh, it practically dissolved on the tongue. 😋 The real star for our table was their sake list though&mdash;we ended up trying a couple different bottles and just hanging out for hours. Perfect for a long catch-up with friends.

Love this spot for a casual hang with friends. The owner is super helpful if you&#39;re new here&mdash;makes picking something easy.

The lunch deal is a solid choice. For about $20 with a drink, you get to try a bit of everything. The soft serve machine at the end was a fun little touch.

Portions are generous, prices are fair. Spent more at chain spots for way less. Their own parking lot is a lifesaver in this area.

The takeout always arrives hot and fresh. Parking&#39;s a bit tight at dinner, but the food makes it worth the hassle.

The tres leches cake was a great finish. Staff was genuinely warm and thoughtful, which really stood out. I enjoyed a glass of Malbec with my main&mdash;a nice pairing. Food had authentic flavors and was plated nicely.
