"Awesome. Im new to the area and gave this spot a try for lunch. Had the Chicken Biscuit and an iced breve mocha. Order was ready immediately and arrived hot, clean and well packaged. This biscuit is outrageous. Crispy, tender, buttery so so good. At first I thought the pickles were too cucumber-y but the second the jalepeno aioli kicked in its a killer balance letting the spice shine and the pickle brine add all the right tangyness. Really great chicken biscuit. The coffee was exactly what I expected and arrived icy cold and delicious. Thanks!"
"Chicken Biscuit is good but not fantastic. It is also very small around the size of a McDonald's sausage biscuit and is in no way near being worth over $9 for one little chicken biscuit. The price are ridiculous!"

"Fantastic breakfast spot. Very rarely have we been disappointed - it's our go-to breakfast even with a couple of misses. Eggs are always fluffy and delicious, french toast is incredible - especially the Pandora Apple. They'll even do proper extra crispy hashbrowns. We've found that ordering within an hour of close is a bit hit or miss but every other time has been fantastic. "
"My favorite breakfast to order! Portions, food quality, & price are all fantastic. Would give 5 stars but the last couple of orders have been a little disappointing (still my favorite, though). Pandora Apple french toast is to DIE for and the Breakfast Sandwich is AMAZING! Love that I can get hashbrowns extra crispy, too. Though I have had them arrive soggy or a touch burnt once or twice. Overall, still a great breakfast spot!"

"Have ordered from here a few times already and they never disappoint. Every item we ordered were tasty and food is consistently delicious. The bowls are perfect, the size and amount of food is just right. The chicken katsu curry bowl is my go-to, but all of them are great. Their prices are reasonable too. This place is now one of my favorites and will definitely order again in the future."
"Tried a competor chicken restaurant (not sure if I can say where) and came running... did not pass go and did not collect 200 dollars right back to the only place I have ever had the best chicken since I was a kid when the only place to get it was across from Garfield High School.

"Overall, the food here was good, but a few things are worth mentioning. I've been eating Tom Yum soup for decades, and the base is always prepared in the same way. A hot and sour broth with button mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and cilantro. The Tom Yum soup here has a very good broth, but it's filled with vermicelli noodles, scallions, spinach and peanuts. Although it was very tasty, it was definitely not a classic Tom Yum, if that's what you're expecting. We also had N5. Pad Kee Mao (Thai Spiced Noodle) and N2. Pad Thai. These were both solid choices, with the shrimp on the phad thai being plentiful and good quality. That said, we're used to 3 stars being medium hot, but here it's very spicey!! "

"We got two orders of the center cut steak and seasonal veggies; broccoli. Ceasar salad and bread sticks. This is a big treat for us, we can't afford to get this very often. It was 100% worth every penny! The steak was cooked to perfection and the veggies were steamed and delicious. We got butter and salad dressing on the side. For a ticket of almost 100 dollars; Outback steakhouse was a worthy treat indeed. Thank you! We will come again. The Singleton's"
"So damn good! Not to put down the local mom and pop, but sometimes a chain restaurant really comes through on consistency. This is the third or fourth time ordering the ribs.

"The 65 biryani we ordered hardly had any masala. It was just like eating rice. Reached out to restaurant explaining the issue and the answer is that this is what our standard is.

"Avgolemeno soupa was curdled. Bought some last Thursday also and had the same problem. This has never happened in all of the years since the Hook first opened. Very disappointing. Also disappointing was the feta on the salad. It appeared dry and similar to grated commercial feta there was very little feta on it. It did not taste salty as stored in brine. I had to add good Greek feta to the salad."

"We've been ordering food from PC Restaurant the last seven years - the food is always freshly prepared and reliably very good. We always end up over-ordering because we like so many of their dishes. If anything, the food has gotten even better over time. The only thing we miss is that recently we haven't seen chow mein with crispy noodles. The Hot & Sour Soup (Bowl) has the right balance of acidity and heat - a lot of restaurants seem to skimp on the vinegar, but PC's is great. Their Almond Chicken is proper - served with almonds and a proper gravy with actual flavor. The Salt & Pepper Pork Chop and the S&P squid are both excellent "
"The Sweet & Sour Pork was good. Sliced Green Peppers and Onions were underneath the perfect, small bite Pork. This allowed the Pork to not be soggy. I ordered more Sauce. It was packaged separately (once again, allowing to keep the deep fried Pork crisp). The Beef Chow Mein was plentiful, except very small amount of sliced Beef. Very little sauce. The flavor was ok, not exceptional. I ordered 1 star for spice, that was perfect."
