Problem: I'd been curious about this place for a while, because of the big, green Buddha mural on the outside, visible when you're walking down Mont Royal. We decided to go in for a dinner tonight and were not disappointed! The vibe is great - walk in and seat yourself, either at the counter overlooking the tidy kitchen, or at one of the traditional-style settings where you remove your shoes and sit on mats at low tables. It reminded me a lot of my experiences of dining in Bali. Our server was extremely attentive and on the ball, and quite friendly without being obtrusive. We chose to sit at the kitchen counter, which was actually really fun. We watched the kitchen staff prepare our meals with a little bit of showmanship, craftfully flinging vegetables into the two large woks. Everyone in the kitchen seemed to really like each other, too. The wait time for our main dishes was really reasonable and the serving sizes were EXCELLENT value for the cost. I also asked about whether or not they use MSG in the food, and to my delight, they do not. Our food was served steaming hot and was very good. I ordered the Tampopo noodles, which come with shrimp and a black bean sauce, and there were tons of shrimp in my bowl, which was great! I'm used to restaurants skimping on the shrimp, but not these guys. I left with a very full belly and a good feeling about coming back again. They do delivery in the cute takeout boxes, too, so maybe next time I'll order in just for kicks.

Problem: Seems everytime we come here experience varies tremendously. This time ordered The Roma Steak medium. Came out almost raw. It came with cut red sauteed potatoes. They were red, they were sauteed, but there were 5 pieces. Really 5 pieces of red potatoes which as we all know are small. A shame. Mushroom on the plate was mushy with a concoction. Very disappointing probably won't be back again. Now my guest ordered a Strawberry, Chicken, Avocado. 5 little pieces of strawberries. Avocado brown and black on the plate. Chicken was tasty, but the spinach in the salad was brown and wilted. Another fail in my book. Waitress was great, the appetizer was great. The chicken wonton tacos, excellent flavors. That is why for the 2 stars. God Bless all.

Problem: Oh geez - after looking at all the pics for this place I practically had a food boner! I drove over there ready to be amazed. It is a small mom and pop joint with an easy going atmosphere. The menu was unique and I was intrigued. The food was fresh, cheap and plentiful. There really is no reason not to like this place. Sorry to reprot: I was disappointed in the food. We ordered a Bahn Mi & a Buckeye hot dog plus an order of fries. I wanted to love this place but this is one bandwagon I simply cannot get with. Basically, you get a hot dog topped with a garrish array of competing ingredients. The food didn't go together. The toppings and the dog were not in harmony. It is kinda like when the Houston Rockets teamed Olajuwon with Drexler and then added Barkly. Three great players but they just didn't seem to go together. The Buckeye dog - pork belly, corn, cheese and mayo- just didn't work. The Bahn Mi - Pork belly, slaw, siracha mayo- just didn't work. The fries were just normal too. They were supposed to have parm cheese but I tasted nothing. Maybe a sprinkle of some spice mixture and that's it. I didn't even finish the hot dogs or the fries. This place has great reviews - so by all means check it out. This is just one guy's opinion. I guess I just like my dogs with some kraut and mustard...
