A little disappointed. My impression was that this place was HUGE from outside but the more you walk inside, it seems small and narrow. I liked how everything felt new and clean. Lighting was easy on the eyes vs. HK4 has the bright white lights.

Food court: I ate the Beef Stew noodles and it was decent, not the best I've had. I ate off of my mom's dim some order. It didnt taste very fresh. My sister got the dumplings, that was yum but I could only eat 1.

There are some things that could be improved. For example, the layout of the store, better food variety in the food court and having it run more efficiently. No one knew where the line started and a  crowd of people would stand waiting for their order. It was a huge traffic jam.

I'll come back in a few months and maybe I'll upgrade it to 3 stars. I think I'll stick to the Hmart down the street.

I don't think you can really screw up a hamburger. And, you can't complain about a hamburger if it's made your way. So that's what I did, a burger made my way: over all, cheeburger cheeburger was really good.

- Good service!
- Good hamburgers!
- 'Yummy in my tummy' fries -- reminded me of Hot Doug's duck fat fries.. but better!
- Good place to take the kiddos-- they can try to eat the pounder and get a picture on the wall of fame!
- Ordered a mango ice tea out of a glass jar, that was different.

(-) They ran out of their special sauces! I realllly wanted to try the creamy jalepeno sauce! bummer.

Beer to get: Magic Hat #9.
// A beer cloaked in secrecy.  An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, refreshing, not-quite pale ale.

When I first saw this place driving by, I felt like I was checking out someone?? I took a second look like damn... I would love to tap that... beer, that is. ha!

Anyhoot, I enjoyed the place in general but I wouldn't spend more than an hour there. It's a good place to have a beer or two with some buddies and move on to the next location.

The place provided activities to keep you busy:
I played some shuffle board, lost miserably 2 times playing Jenga-- which caused way too much beer consumption! Bean bagg-ed outside for a bit and watched some of the Rockets game on the big screen.. Loved it.

Drink to get: Caipirinha (bartender makes em' strong)

(-) Did not like the Torta at all. Too bready, they gave me a small piece that was hard to eat.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere when I first walked in.

(-)
Cesar, our waiter, blew. He wasn't welcoming and chose to serve another group over us because he assumed he'd get a better tip with them. The girls noticed this and he lost a good tip from us. We were looking forward to a good evening but he didn't start it off well.

(+)
Management was on point. She walked around and asked us how we were doing. The bartender, JP, smiled a lot and made sure we were helped as well.

Food -- I drank mostly so I didn't get a chance to eat. :) However, after a few jack and cokes, I got hungraaay. I had some pizza and fries. It tasted good to me!

Overall, it was a fun time with the girls. I'd go again. You gotta have fun when you go to a place like this. If you are there to hardcore bowl, just know that getting a lane will take forever. Order a drink at the bar and chill by the fireplace, my friends.

IVY! THANKS FOR MAKING ME EAT HERE!

My friend kept telling me about how good the food is. We both like to eat good so I had to give it a try.

MAN. She wasn't kidding.

Kataifi-Wrapped Shrimp
//Crispy shrimp stuffed with bacon on a bed of frisée, topped with sweet & spicy tamarind sauce.  
-- PLEASE add just one more shrimp to satisfy me!

Shiitake-Soy Braised Short Ribs
//slow-cooked beef ribs, sautéed gai lan & baby carrots, garlic chive polenta.
-- The meat was sooo tender and the sauce was making love to my taste buds.

My first time was for a Red Bull event outside.

I came anxious to eat and drink with my fellow Red Bullians.

The BBQ sandwich was goOooooD.
Coctails were delightful.
Atmosphere: relaxing? i loved the bar. it was real chill.

I need to come back again to taste the rest of the menu.

I WILL BE BACK. I WILL!!
