The place looked a lot better than before. Fresh paint, new furniture and rearranged setup.
The menu looked good and prices seemed good too.
We ordered takeout and had to wait about 15 mins to get our food.
We ordered a couple bento boxes. You can select up to 3 items from a list of 11 items.
They include green salad,steamed rice,gyozas and fried wonton.
We tried 4 different items.
Shrimp Tempura, Vegetable Tempura,Garlic Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken.
The green salads were pretty good. Nothing to exciting, just simple and good. The rice, gyozas and fried wonton were good too.
The shrimp tempura was very good. But the order only had 2 shrimp. We were a bit surprised by this. It would have been nice to know that only 2 shrimp came in the order, when we placed the order. Other places include 4-6 shrimp in their orders.
The vegetable tempura was good too. The order was also small and only includes 2 broccoli and 2 carrots. Sadly enough I don't like carrots or broccoli very much. I expected an order of vegetable tempura to include eggplant,potatoes,mushroom,onion,zucchini perhaps.
Garlic and Teriyaki chicken both sucked, quite honestly. Neither of us could really taste the difference between the two. The chicken was of horrible quality. It tasted like an old nasty chicken. Very strong almost overpowering chicken taste.
Neither orders were good. They were seasoned rather bland. The old chicken taste overpowered any garlic or Teriyaki flavor.
I wouldn't order anything with chicken from there again.
I doubt that we will go back, as the amount of food(2 pieces shrimp tempura in order) and quality of food is still lacking.
The new paint and layout help, but they still need to improve the food.
The flavor is good, not overly spiced or greasy. Just plain old good grilled chicken.
The burritos and tamales are good too. The tamales are only offered around Christmas time.
Went tonite and tried the new buffaloco wings. They had BBQ or spicy. Neither sauces were very good. The chicken was good quality but very small, the sauces were horrible. The spicy wasn't even spicy. It was rather bland. The BBQ sauce was just odd. It almost seemed spicier than the spicy wings. Made no sense to us.
Don't waste your money on the wings, stick the to the whole chicken,burritos or tamales.
After several more not so good trips to this place, we have stopped going. We both ended up sick after eating here the last time. The food quality changed. The meat seemed lower quality than the first couple visits. The food just didn't seem fresh.
Another thing we noticed, was the fact that there was never any other customers any of the times we went there. I can't recall ever seeing anyone else there on about 6 different trips. It seems to speak for itself.
The person cooking the food, seemed friendly. However the guy taking orders, needs some lessons in customer service.
To bad for this place, as we won't go back.

This place just opened up yesterday. They are located in a new mini mall and are hidden in the corner. . So today I decided to check it out. I am glad I did. They have great food.
I tried the beef shawerma and falafel. Both were great! The sandwich was nice sized as well. The quality of meat was great. The flavor was great.
The falafel was great too. I wished I would have ordered more than I did.
I will for sure go back to this place. The food was good, the store was clean, and the staff were super friendly.
They even offer delivery with a $40 minimum.
Also had the BBQ tri tip combo, It came with hommus and salad. It was also very good.
The place was very busy while we were there. Everyone was very friendly and the place was clean.
I'll be going back to this place for more falafel.

I love their coffee and mocha's. They even had muffins that looked rather yummy! I'll try one of those next visit. The owner said they now have Smoothies as well, if coffee isn't your thing.
This place is a little hidden off of Bullard and Marks. Right in the Fig Garden Library branch parking lot.

At least once a week, I would be near this little coffee hut. I finally decided to check it out, since I love a good cup of coffee.
I ordered a small coffee with cream. The coffee was great! It was not overly strong, tasted fresh, and was just generally great.
My friend ordered a mocha. Normally I don't care for them, but this one was actually really good. I think next time I go there, I will actually order one.
They had reasonable prices too.
If you're nearby and in need of some coffee, go check them out. They are worth the stop.
This is a new location and the place was very nice. Nice and clean, staff was very friendly and answered all my questions.
The had a few video games there as well.
The prices were good and they had several coupons with decent deals.
The garlic bread was good. It basically was a small pizza with cheese and garlic. Nothing fancy, but tasted good anyways.
The pizza itself was lacking. The crust was horrible. It seriously tasted worse the frozen pizza crust. The toppings were alright quality, the sauce was not to my liking either. I'm really not sure what it was about the sauce that I didn't like. I just didn't like the flavor.
I really couldn't get over how bad the crust was. They can't possibly be fresh, the must be frozen.
Anyways, the did have a good,fast and friendly service. The pizza was just not for me.
The last time I was there was last summer. My partner and I decided to grab a few Subs to take home.
As the girls were making our subs, we noticed a fly problem. Not 1 fly but many. The flies were crawling over the meats,cheeses and veggies.
The girls didn't pay any attention to them. Didn't shoo them away, didn't toss the food that the bugs were crawling on or anything.
I'm not sure about you, but I prefer to not have flies or other bugs crawling on my food.
We were both grossed out and have never returned. Cleanliness and sanitation are both highly important to us.
They are always very clean too. Something that the local Subways and Quiznos are lacking.
The only thing I dislike is the parking lot. It can get a little crazy to try to exit, as your view can be blocked by other parked cars to the side of the building.

First, they did indeed having rap music playing extremely loud in the waiting room. Rap music is a doctors office is unprofessional.
Dr Srikanth has no bedside manner. During my first visit to her office, out of the blue, she says to me " Why do you have a mans haircut?". I was shocked at this comment. I was being treated by her for a disease that causes male pattern baldness in women. That added with a medication I take, resulted in me losing all of my hair. My hair had just started growing back when she made this comment to me. My spouse and I were shocked and in utter disbelief that she said something so cruel.
She prescribed a medication for me. She told me to take the medication at a certain dosage, then wrote the prescription for a larger dosage and even stating to take twice the number of pills. I called her office for clarification due to the confusing directions. They stated I told you to take this many pills at this dosage. Disregard what the bottle says. This was dangerous as the medication at the dosage listed on the bottle, was extremely high, especially for having just started the medication. Why tell the patient to take the medication one way, then write the directions another. Especially at a dosage that was potentially dangerous.
