Customer Reviews
We visited this place after a day at the beach. I was craving some pad thai, and they did not disappoint. My wife got the crispy citrus chicken, and my kids each got a ramen dish. Everything tasted great. The wait after we ordered was a little long but not terrible. We all agreed to visit again the next time we are in town.
Great dining area with a nice enclosed patio. Service was pretty slow but friendly. However, the food was not great at all. This is not a place to serve Asian inspired entrees. All entrees our table ordered were swimming in sauces including pad Thai. Food was not enjoyable at all.
Delicious food with a very nice outdoor screened-in deck! Sure the food took a little time, but I'm happy to wait if it means I'm getting high quality food and let me tell you this was the best Tonkotsu Ramen I've ever had. My wife and I split the Pork Potstickers as an appetizer and they were delightful. The Hot Citrus Tea was fantastic. Nothing but good things to say about here, will definitely visit again on a return trip to Frankfurt!
We got the chicken lettuce wraps and the avocado salad. Both were very fresh and delicious. The chicken was a bit too much on the sweet side. I was hoping it would be more like laab with the lime/fish sauce/herbs and toasted rice, but it was still pretty good with a drizzle of the chili oil they had on the table. We also got some of their hot herbal tea which was yummy.
Nice people but unfortunately the food was impressively bad. I’ve had countless bowls of ramen and love trying Asian restaurants but I had by far the worst ramen I’ve ever had here. The broth was completely lacking in flavor, the noodles were clumped together, the eggs weren’t marinated, the bamboo shoots were almost raw. :( AND it didn’t even come with any meat. With meat, $20 bowl. This place shouldn’t even have the label of Asian cuisine because whoever is cooking knows nothing about authentic Asian flavors. I hate to write a review like this but I hope that management will realize something needs to change and be able to save this place because it has potential.
