"$1 per topping is steep when you hardly get any.. Wish they put more toppings on my pizza. Other than that, pizza taste is great mit greasy and so were the 8 Wings I ordered"
"I didn't request thin crust. This is the thinnest crust pizza I've ever had. And maybe I'm wrong but I don't think 8 slice pizza is a large. It's a medium. 20 dollars for extra thin sliced cheese pizza with only 8 slices seems a bit over priced. Not worth it"

"First time using door dash and trying rakkan ramen. It was freakin delicious and packaged great. I was feeling under the weather and craving ramen and it truly hit the spot. The quartz vegan was creamy and so flavorful. Usually I eat half my ramen and save the rest for later but I devoured the entire bowl. Will definitely order again! "

"Didn't know this was a Mexican restaurant. The Lamb and Beef Donër Wrap was made with a thin over cooked tortilla, not pita bread. Barely any meat and the veggies were skimped on as well. The sauces it came with were filled maybe 1mm high. Enough for one bite lol. I don't see how they are charging $18.99 for this. It is more comparable to something off the value menu."

"Boneless Chicken Kabob was so delicious. Cooked all the way through. I appreciate this. Seasoned well and good portion. Plenty of rice. Fresh chicken. Looked great, tasted great!! I ordered from a different place last week and i regretted it. Wont do that again. Will stick with Norooz! Food is always fresh. Competitor was greasy and didn't smell fresh. W e also had the Ghormeh Sabzi from Norooz. . Another favorite and done so well here. Plenty of herbs and spices, meat was flavorful and not fatty. "
"Only docking one star because this was a gift/surprise dinner for my parents and sadly, they were out of a few items. They called me to see if I wanted to cancel or substitute items. In the end, I only got a few dollars back after subbing a staple item (tahdig) that they were out of. I'll give them another chance. Fesenjan was very greasy and Kashkeh - Bademjan did not have the toppings as pictured. My parents said the Boneless Chicken Kabob and yogurt were great though."

"I absolutely love Thai food! So I was happy to see a Thai restaurant open up on 2nd Street. Prices were a little higher than I was hoping, but thankfully there was a promo. However, despite the price, the food was DELICIOUS and I would definitely order again! We ordered the Pork Fried Rice (w/ Medium spice) and the Chicken Pad Seeww (w/ Mild spice)."
"This was our first time ordering from here. The egg rolls were a hit. They were well-filled, crispy, and definitely not store-bought. We were excited to try the short rib Massaman, but it didn’t quite match the description. The menu said “beef short ribs paired with mashed potatoes" comfort food, but what we got was more like a Massaman soup with beef, thickened slightly by a bit of mashed potato. We had hoped to see more mashed potatoes and less Massaman broth. Flavor-wise, it was tasty, just not what we expected, and for the price, we probably wouldn’t order it again. The fried rice was solid. Looking forward to giving them another try in person."

"chicken enchilada and chicken taco dinner were excellent, flavorful and tasty. "
"Usually I love this place. Today I got the pancakes. They were large and fluffy and flavorful . The problem? I requested extra syrup and butter. I got 2 tiny butters that had melted and seeped out of the packaging and 1 tiny container of syrup. barely enough for 1 pancake let alone 2 really huge ones. Nothing spoils pancakes more having to eat them dry. And why would a restaurant risk a bad review over a lack of requested condiments?
