"my first visit to this restaurant and I was flabbergasted! it was great for the price! Taste was wonderful... I have to say best egg roll ever!"
"Food quality? Mediocre. Ordered two bowl combos, one sesame, one orange. When we went to grab our food, we realized that both bowls were the exact same, and we couldn't tell what the sauce tasted like. Zero sesame seeds, and not a hint of any orange flavoring.
As for the portion sizes, if you're going to charge out the wazoo for your food, at least give people enough food to make sure they're full.
The Bao was probably the best part of the entire meal, and I'm fairly certain they come frozen.
Don't waste your money, get literally anything else besides this place."

"I tried Cafe con Leche today for the first time. I had the Omelet con Espinacas with a Horchata Latte and a Sugar Donut. The omelet was stuffed full of spinach, tomatoes and just the right amount of cheese. It was so flavorful and fresh tasting and not dry like they can tend to be sometimes! Just what I was hoping it would taste like. The Horchata Latte was really good I'm not usually a fan of these kind of drinks because of the calories but it was definitely worth the try. They will for sure be a go to breakfast place for me!"
"This a truly hidden gem on the east side.
Todays El Americano was by far the best I've ever had I think they may have changed the bacon supplier because it was absolutely delicious If you've never had their salsa on the eggs you're missing out Everything was fresh and generously portioned. Definitely in my top two breakfast spots in DSM"

"the Snickers Bar Latte was awesome per usual, it was still warm when it was delivered and was true to size and flavor. Tuscan Turkey Panini was good, I paid extra to add tomatoes but didnt get much so I don't feel like that was worth the extra charge. I did request the kettle chips instead of the chips and salsa but they still sent me chips and salsa - the chips are average, the salsa is pretty much tomato paste with some flavor."

"The brisket was so good! My daughter loved her ribs. All the sides were so flavorful - we had the mac and cheese, baked beans, cajun slaw, and corn bread muffins. We also got a slice of French silk and a slice of strawberry rhubarb. It is clear this food is made from scratch. We are sold. This iis the best barbecue and was perfect for this cold, snowy day."
"The price for the portion is not there. The cheesy hashbrowns were not cheesy at all and lacked flavor. The ribs are okay. The burnt ends were not great- a bit rubbery? I wouldn't taste the beans after seeing them.
The jal popper pasta salad was absolutely delicious but not worth the surrounding disappointment.
This was not our typical BBQ experience."

"Great option for diner classics! The only item that wasnt a slam-dunk was the Chicken Alfredo. I found it to be needing more sauce and cheesy flavor, but the chicken was well cooked and the Garlic Bread was super garlicky! The Jalapeño Poppers were insanely crispy and stuffed, and the portions on my husband's Lumberjack were insanely large.
Definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for breakfast or diner food!"

"I ordered the Maharani Dinner (Vegetarian for 2) and it was...DYNAMITE!! I am a lover of Middle Eastern cuisine, most especially Indian, and I'm very familiar with Indian food and India Star is probably the best I have ever had. The Malai Kofta was creamy and sublime. This is my very favorite dish and India Star's version is the best ever, and I've eaten Malai Kofta from at least 7 states, close to 3 dozen Indian restaurants, still Indian Star beats them all The vegetable torpedoes (that's what my crew call them) still had a subtle but still detectable crispness to the outside and the firm, delicious center was the perfect texture and explodes with savory flavor. The fragrant sauce has a cheesy, nutty flavor that is hearty and indulgent. the pakora and samosa appetizers, lentil soup, naan, really everything was delicious and gets 11 out of 10 stars. Ok, confession time. I ordered dinner for 2 yet I was the only one eating! I'm not sorry, India Star has been my goto for 30+ years!"

Goat Curry was very small for such a price. Asked to get extra spicy. Doesn't seem to be any different.
Paneer Tikka was extremely dry. The Paneer was like rubber. Non sponginess that you get from typical paneer. They were burnt. Green pepper weren't. very small portion for such price point.
Mango Lassi was good as always.
Naan was a mess. some burnt worse than other. about 50% of the 2 naans were just crunchy like crackers... what!!!

"I just finished the pho ga and it was quite possibly the BEST bowl of soup I have ever drank! I would definitely enjoy it in every season. The flavors are out of this world...the broth was so tasty I didn't add hoisin or lime or anything. 10/10, no notes."

"ordered the Greek Omelette for lunch, and let me tell you that it was AMAZING! The egg is cooked to perfection and so perfectly seasoned that every bite is an experience.
plenty of filling but not overfull or overshadowing the eggs themselves - heavy enough to be filling but not so heavy that you'd want a nap after.
10 out of 10 probably one of the best omelets that I've had in years"
"$33 for small Fettuccine with shrimp. Shrimp came separately in a tiny box and fettuccini all stuck together with nothing but oil and pepper on it - no cheese or sauce (and "small" means a 3"x4" box by the way, for $33). $23 for a 5"x5" slice of Lasagna. $15+ for the Brie Monsire which is just one sad slice of brie and some almonds. NO bread, salad, or other sides came with these entrees at all. Do they serve it in the restaurant with no bread or salad? Thats $72 plus tax, fees and tip. Stay away! What a ripoff! "

"I order from here almost weekly and have it delivered to work. The pad Thai with chicken is SERIOUSLY good!! Beware of the spice scale, a 4-5 is pretty good heat. They always pack the containers full, I am totally satisfied with the portion size and it is only $15 after a driver tip. Fair price, excellent food, highly recommend!!"
"Food was very good. But $11 for a 5 piece roll (birthday roll) and $8 for 2 pieces of spring rolls is criminal. If you're going to order from here I would stay away from the apps and the special sushi rolls - you get very little for a lot of money compared to other nearby places. Pad thai and curry dishes are always good and big portions though so it's more worth your money. "

"just okay. like an overall 6/10. Hot Honey Baos were fantastic. However the Malfadine Bolognese was terrible. No flavor, and very dense sauce. Buffalo Fried Chicken Mac & Cheese was also good but not great. Also lacking flavor or any kind of wow factor. Edible but not good."

"Loved the flavor. There should be more meat, there was only 5 bite size beef pieces, And I was charged extra for beef. Otherwise I did order a lunch portion but was still very large! 4 stars only because of meat amount."
"Peanut noodles medium spice. Sauce on top of noodles that was not enough to coat all the noodles when mixed. I selected
Tofu for the protein and there were 5 pieces. Only a few veggies. So, essentially it was a bland bowl of plain noodles with a little heat (spice) to it. Overly priced for what was received. I rarely give poor reviews. I'm giving it 3 starts because it was hot and freshly made and restaurants cannot always be perfect . Hopefully, this review is noted and improve upon this dish for other customers."

"I am definitely no stranger to pho real, literally been a customer since day 1 for both rebrands. Prices have increased, but it seems quality along with quality check have not improved. But to have two pieces of meat folded up in a leaky bag of myoglobin is WILD for $26. An increase in price should be accompanied with an increase in presentation "
"The meat is cut way too thick with the pho so it does not cook properly, vegetables come completely un chopped, if ordering in a hotel impossible to add without making mess. Poor vegetable to noodle compared to meat ratio. Limes they gave were not even ripe yet, for near $30 to dash this amd a tea with powder mix abd anand an odd coconut taste to the Taro Milk Tea it was not worth the price."

"Orange chicken was fire (really good) if I had it there instead of delivery it would've been perfect. Nice crunch perfect flavor. Crab Rangoon were good. Sweet and sour sauce was also great, it's the really sweet kind, which is the good kind IMO. "
"When ordering a la cart, the portions are super small, but so expensive! Also I ordered two sets of spring rolls and only got 2 total. Order was supposed to feed myself and my daughters but was only enough food for 1 person. First and last time ordering a la cart.
Food tasted good! Just super small portions and they didn't include the second set of spring rolls."
