Problem: I'm def a fan of this place! Talk about good Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwiches)! Pork with pate is fantastic and a delicious side with a bowl of pho, too! I also really like the pho here! The food here is basic and stands up as delish! One time, the server seemed like he was super-disoriented and on something or just really out of it, but while it was a bit of a hassle to order, it was more just amusing than a detraction... I still had my pork with pate crispy sandwich! Good bubble tea, for what it is.

Problem: I SOOOO wanted to love this place. We used to have this great Jamaican place around the corner in Chicago, and were really looking forward to those flavors. They were very attentive when we arrived, and I thought, this will be swell..... Then we met our server. This place is not very big and our server, who didn't seem to know what he was talking about (how's the fish, it's yummy. how's the short ribs, so good. not helpful), was LOUD. He seemed really overworked which I cannot understand because there are only like 10 tables in the whole place and there were others working... Starter - we had the Prawns and Roti. They were amazingly good. One criticism - when they say prawn, they just mean bigger than average shrimp. I understand this is common in certain areas of the US and the rest of the world, but the starter was slightly different than we expected. Nonetheless, it tasted amazing. We had the rum punch of the day to drink - VERY tasty. I would go back just to have the "prawns" and rum punch. Dinner - I ordered the short rib stew - their take on a beef stew, essentially. It was VERY tasty. Really, I could've eaten more. No really. I wish they had given me more. The portion was smaller than I expected for the price. The flavor was nice - and spicy - and amazing - but I still hadn't tasted anything that reminded me of the Jamaican food I had back in Chicago. I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but... Todd had the Mussels. These should really be on the starter menu. I'm not sure how someone can make a meal out of 10-15 mussels. There's no side and two small pieces of bread. Again, for the price, it seemed strange. Also - while the mussels were tasty and wonderful, they were larger than normal, and neither of us cares for the larger mussels. We were not thrilled, and for a birthday celebration, it was underwhelming, but we had a nice time (because the company was good). I'm just not sure our experience was worth the money we spent.

Problem: I wanted to like it.... but after $20 for two sundaes and a rip-roaring case of heartburn, I'll pass. Gah!

Problem: Excellent boba - chewy, slightly sweet! Came back two days in a row for it. Also had their shave ice with fruit which I Highly recommend. It comes in along boat dish with tons of fruit on top and condensed milk. I could have this every day!
