      NO.

      the menu is weird as hell, the servers had no clue how to talk about their beer selections and service was sooooo slow. while sitting at the table waiting for our food, a table sent back their food because it wasn't cooked right. we became concerned... as our food haven't come out from the kitchen yet.

      it was "Taco Tuesday" and a very silly concept at that. you had to choose a non-alcoholic beverage and it came with two (4 total) tacos. they were AWFUL and I think i've had better at a school lunch cafeteria.

      Korean Short Ribs & Fish Tacos. pretty standard at a fusion type taco spot, but these were really bad. corn tortillas were microwaved and hardened when it got to the table. The slaw on the fish tacos were so icky/soggy. to matters worse, the Pineapple Chicken was so sweet- it tasted like someone spilled a bag of SPLENDA on the reduction and just poured it over some chicken. the rice was a joke.

      I take it back, Nam Son. you're actually my favorite Viet spot in all of NYC. let me highlight why:
      - service is quick and friendly
      - i can post up here with my dining guests and unlike post places in chinatown, you won't aggressively kick me out or make me pay right away
      - the Pho/Bun/rice dishes are always on point, never different and always the same. THANK BABY JEEZUS for that!!!!
      - your brother restaurant Thai Son also runs supreme
      - i have forgotten how westcoast Vietnamese food tastes like and tbh, i have fallen in love with you bc you keeps it real

      I was there the first week they opened, so don't @ me if this review isn't perfect. It took 20 mins for the Tea-Tenders to make my two drinks. that- IMO is tooooo long.

      they were running a Buy One Get One deal. it's a quaint space as most places on that block are tiny! i love the menu/options and overall it was just OK for me. If you love Mango... come here!

      holy moly, Yelp!!!!!! if it weren't for you, i would have NEVER walked into the place. we visited this sub shop like 2x during our trip to Ithaca. there's a lot to choose from in the area, but most of the choices are mehhhhh and mediocre food. we came back here because:
      - the staff is friendly, helpful and kind.
      - their Banh Mi sandwiches were bommmmmmb (yes, Banh Mi!!!)
      - menu is creative and there's something for everyone (diff flavor profile)
      - housemade coconut mocktails were *chef's kiss*

      I had the Shrimp and Pulled Pork Banh Mi's. yes, yes, yes and so much yes. I highly recommend getting the special; it comes with 1/2 sub, chips (freshly fried) and a drink. eat it outside at one of their al fresco tables. 100% in love.

      i guess i've become numb to all the Hot Pot/Korean BBQ places that iCook Buffet did not impress me. mediocre quality, everything was served on paper plates (not eco-friendly and wasteful), the servers never check on you, refill your water or refill broth unless you request for it. their protein options were okay at the least, but the minced SHRIMP is a must. it's like ordering the filling of a har gow dumpling without the wrapper. this is def not worth the price to come here when there's far better options in Manhattan and Brooklyn. never catch me in this hood unless my friend coax me to come to Elmhurst.
