This is the place to go to for authentic, no holds barred Laotian cuisine! We make our hour long trek here just to get these amazing flavors.
The " famous papaya salad platter" is rightfully named - it's got all the delicious things on their menu.
*The papaya salad is super authentic with umami fish sauce and spicy pepper (I made my spice level 6) with none of that extra sweet syrup they put in standard fusion places.
*The sausage! This was a big surprise of flavor. I don't even eat sausage, I don't like the chemical taste in standard sausages. Their sausage is NOT like that! It tastes freshly made and has imbibed the delicate flavors of lemongrass, galanga & fresh chilies (if you picked the spicy one). No greasiness or chemical taste at all.
So now I have found a new favorite food and I'll be getting more of these on repeat!
* Fried Chicken: The lemongrass marinade again made their fried chicken stand out a winner against all other fried chickens!
Next time I want to try the other things on the menu as well. I'm glad to have found this place!
Not sure why the reviews are bad. The jackfruit here is the best we have found. I like that they have the option of 1/2 cut and whole. With the 1/2 cut you can see how ripe it is and it is easier to eat.
Danville should line up for this and not just Maison Benoit. Delicious sandwiches and hot sauce! The delectable desserts include authentic Brazilian carrot cake that's frosted with chocolate instead of cream cheese.
This is actually a great idea for a take-out sushi place to be located near the McD's. I usually head to McD when I don't have time to sit down for a meal and just got to grab and go. Well now I can do the same with delicious and healthy food at IV Sushi.
Some neighbors posted great reviews about this so we tried this convenient take-out sushi and was not disappointed! The sushi is made really fresh and yet priced reasonably because of the take-out model. The service is fast and very easy to order on their website. I'll be trying new things on their menu again.
Food was OK but not worth praising. I am not sure how there are so many 5 star reviews. Maybe take out orders? Service was also OK. Ambience is not so great either. Just standard strip mall and hole-in-the-wall.
