I have to admit I'm not a fusion taco fan...but the Thai Pork taco here is worth a visit.

WOW. Just WOW! I'm speechless after dining here with friends last week. Still thinking about the Hamachi Tartar. The fresh uni I ate which I usually hate. Believe all the five star ratings you see others post here.

This is not a cheap meal, but if you're looking for quality and a great experience, this is your place.

No longer an Opal Thai food truck virgin. After all these years, I finally tasted what the hype is all about...this truck is the real deal...Opel and his wife Aoy cook up some mean Thai food in Haleiwa. Some of the best I've had. Period.

Loved the pad thai, yellow curry, panang curry, fried tofu...the menu is solid.

Bottom line, if you're in Haleiwa and want some great Thai food, this is your stop.

Had heard a lot about this place and the expectations were high. It didn't disappoint. We arrived early for our 11:30 p.m. reservation. Staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Hostess greeted us and told us she should definitely get us in before 11:30...and she did.

We decided to sit at a communal table. I highly recommend this if you're the friendly type that likes to meet people. We had the smoked sturgeon, pancetta pizza, fungi pizza, smoked duck ravolini. All great tastes that I would order again. Our communal table mates ordered the margherita pizza, roasted rabbit loin, and to end, the incredible chocolate budino with espresso-caramel cream and sea salt. This was heaven. Decadent!

Definitely a place I'll be returning to in the future. Awesome ambiance, food and service. If you don't have a reservation, take your chances and walk in, but because of the restaurant's popularity, expect to wait.

Enjoy!

My wife's cousin held their wedding reception here in the private dining room upstairs. Delicious food and terrific service. Hand passed appetizers in the beginning were all very good...mushroom and salmon pizza, crab cakes, rack of lamb were all excellent. The three course lunch consisted of a delicious mushroom soup, perfectly cooked and tender steak or yummy salmon, and to finish a banana bread dessert.

It's not everyday you get to eat like this, so we certainly enjoyed the occasion.

Chinese food was the last thing I'd be eating in Vegas. Afterall, Honolulu's got some great places. But nonetheless, I found myself here for a family dinner and it was very good. We feasted pretty good that night...noodles, duck, chicken, veggies...everything was tasty and good.

It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

We rolled into America at close to 4 a.m. hungry after a night of gambling and drinking. All we wanted was some good chow to put us to sleep. The 16 oz. Ribeye Steak for $12.99 was screaming my name and I took the bait. I'm so glad I did. It was a great steak, perfectly cooked medium rare and served with a baked potato and veggies. My two brothers-in-law had the same thing and were also satisfied.

Honestly, I didn't expect much when the family suggested eating dinner here. C'mon, seafood restaurant just off the floor of the South Point casino, how good could this place be? Well actually, pretty darn good.

All I can remember is that we ate good...crab legs, cioppino, clams, oysters rockerfeller,  calamari, clam chowder, and a bunch of other goodies. Everything was really good, including the service. Prices weren't too shabby either.

Entire family left satisfied. As they saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover.

This place was our first stop after arriving in Vegas. My brother-in-law saw Adam Richman do a Man vs. Food challenge here.  Even that cue didn't prepare us from the mammoth meal we were about to have.

After about a 30-minute wait...this place had a line for days...we got a table in an empty party of the restaurant. They warned us that portions were big, but they were actually huge. I ordered the meatloaf hash which was pretty tasty, but I wasn't able to finish even half of it. I got a BLT Bloody Mary to go with it which was quite nice...never had bacon in my bloody mary before. This I highly recommend.

In total, there were 9 of us at the table that morning. I don't recall anyone finishing their meal. I asked the waiter what percentage of the patrons actually finished their plate of food. He said 1%. Freaking 1%.

This bothered me a bit. I understand the novelty with the huge portions, but we wasted a ton of food...and so did others at the tables around us.  

When you eat here, plan to share...and I'm not just talking two per entree...I'm talking 3-4...unless you can really put it away.

It's a fun place, the food is good, and service was attentive. But be sure to come hungry. In this case, food definitely won vs. me.

I have a feeling the family and I came here on an off night recently during our Vegas vacation. For me, the best part of dinner was my Black and Tan. For my wife, it was probably the Heirloom Tomato Salad. The rest of the meal was pretty forgettable.

Here's what we ordered:

Guinness braised beef and mushroom pies with tomato relish and chive dressing -- nothing I would order again...pretty bland...not what we were expecting.

Heirloom tomatoes with goat, blue and farmhouse cheeses marinated in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar -- probably our favorite part of the night...nice tomatoes and cheeses...pretty yummy.

Cashel Blue cheese crusted NY strip with au jus -- this was a disaster...ordered it medium rare, but it came out well done...sent it back and as I jokingly predicted to my wife that it would come back to rare because the cook would be too afraid to over cook it again...unfortunately, I was right...second steak came back black 'n blue...looked almost like a piece of seared ahi...but hell, it was better than an overcooked piece of meat, but much to rare for my taste...we ate a little bit of it and left the rest.

This is a cool place and I'd definitely go back for drinks. For lunch or dinner...probably not again after this experience.
