I only ordered take out here. And in the last month or so, I ordered take out three times. Everything I ordered which were the ramen miso, khao soi and spicy drunken noodle with pork were delicious and flavorful. Even though it was take out, the food was well packaged. The favor is authentic Asian food. Each of what I ordered had depth and the right favoring to it. It is in a little strip mall; glad I found it. The interior for whenever I came in seemed nice enough. Not a romantic upscale place but cute, clean place to go out. Food always prepared promptly whenever I ordered, good portion and price very reasonably. Would recommend and will come back.

Great little place, do not let the strip mall location fool you. We ordered Lumpia, Spicy Drunken Noodles with chicken, Mongolian Beef and a side of the fried pork that usually comes with the ramen. The atmosphere was really nice. Keep in mind that the kitchen does close at 8:30 even though they are open till 9:00.

2nd edit: same night; 45 min after picking up. I just went to Seward and Fairbanks and this meal is the best in the last yen years. It, so tasty yet light and refreshing! Thanks again! So good! Edit: Crying Tiger! Lord, now I get the name! Just perfect ! ! ! ! I was ashamed of eating it with a fork so used the chopsticks in a form of delayed satisfaction...the sauce, is, incredible. The Gyoza, fried rice with shrimp, Crying Tiger! and a strawberry lemonade! I was gonna eat two of the eight gyoza except the sauce is FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!!! NEXT LEVEL. Imabout to drink the rest of the sauce. Dude. This will be my new 'first date' restaurant! Thank you for your great work! So gooooodddd!!!!

Laid back modern sit down experience. Flavorful dishes with large portions that are fairly priced. The service is too nonchalant which will be frustrating for a large portion of people.

You have to try this place! We had a big group and I tried a little of everyone's and it was great. Seasme chicken, orange chicken, Mongolian beef, beef bulgogi, and the chicken fried rice. Warning, canned soda, no fountain drinks. I want to go and try the other things too, to much to try in one visit. I wish they had roti or naan for the butter chicken.

We came here for the first time right after the rush. We weren’t able to try any of the cook to order items, but the food that we ordered was still AMAZING! We ordered the Orange chicken, Indian butter chicken, Wine braised beef and Korean spicy pork. I will say i was a huge fan of the Indian butter chicken, Wine braised beef and the Korean spicy pork. Personally I just wasn’t feeling the orange chicken, but i loved that it was crunchy. I believe the owner also gave us some chinese bbq pork to try and it was delicious! Their Thai tea was already great to drink as well. Server was attentive and super sweet. Can’t wait to go back to try the ramen that everyone’s raving about!

This is a hidden gem and I am so upset I just found it. This is not the typical, mediocre, shamefully watered down, Asian flavor that we typically find. For our first visit, we decided to try several dishes. We ordered: Thai Ice Tea, Kale Cucumber Lemonade, Gyoza Potstickers, Lumpia Filipino Egg Rolls, Ramen Tonkotsu Miso Noodle Soup, Thai Yellow Curry with Chicken served with Jasmine Rice, Curry Fried Rice with Shrimp, Crying Tiger (New York Strip Steak served with Jasmine Rice), Spicy Drunken Noodles with Shrimp, and Mongolian Beef served with Jasmine Rice. Every dish was presented beautifully and was full of distinctly separate flavors. Most notable: the crispy sear on the pork slices in the ramen made for a tender and buttery-like texture; not dried out like most places, the silkiness of the yellow curry hits to the bone - feels like a missing-home-comfort-food, the soft, fresh, crispy vegetables are the perfect balance to the softness of the flat drunken noodles which absorb the seasoning so well, the texture of the Mongolian beef is buttery soft and coated with just the right amounts of sweet and savory goodness without drowning the dish to soggy mush, the Crying Tiger... look for the picture - enough said. My only recommendation is adding desserts to the menu. Mochi or sweet sticky rice with mango would have topped the night off right! Can taste and appreciate that the food is carefully made with love.
