"The chicken chow Fun was horrible! There was hardly any chicken in there, and the noodles were soggy. Also, the wonton soup had no pork sticks at the bottom. all except two or three. And the noodles were very, very soggy. I would not order from here again, and I had to wait an hour and 15 minutes for my order."

"This is my go-to for Pad Thai. I stopped going to Bangkok garden because they completely changed the size of their containers and the price continues to go up. Honestly the flavor and truly everything about Thai basils Pad Thai for me is top shelf! Bangkok garden, from my recollection literally charges, I want to say $6-$8 more for a smaller serving of Pad Thai. Not to say that everything should be exactly the same, as these are two separate establishments, but in this economy sometimes this is the deciding factor. If I'm not going to lose the authenticity and still get a much needed price break, I'm going with Thai basil. Every single time I've ordered I've never been disappointed and I've been ordering now for about I want to say 2 years"
"Thai tea was very watery. I have always had it with milk or some kind of cream. They made it with water. Not enough crab meat for extra $8 per entree."

"Oh my God. This meal did NOT disappoint. Hawaii Fried Shrimp was crispy, flavorful, juicy. Absolutely perfect. Spam Musubi (2) was also a heavy hitter with flavor. You get a lot of food for your money here so it's well worth it. I also love that the food was hot and fresh when I received it. Will be back again!"
"Honestly the food was delicious but I'd avoid the spare ribs, they give measly portions of it, and the way they cut it is crazy, one small piece had like 3 different pieces of bone on it, every other aloha hola has just the one big piece that has one bone not 5 million pieces I couldn't get through it cause there were so many tiny bones. I had that plus the katsu chicken, the portion they had given me was underwhelming, not sure who was cooking that day but at lease the flavor was there. But If im spending 20$+ there should be more than 5 slices of katsu chicken, I just feel like the prices vs amount of food plus the varying prices is a little weird as I've order from aloha hola from like 10+ miles away and it was still cheaper than it being down the street from me now."
Spam Musubi (2)
Tender, juicy grilled chicken marinated in a tropical teriyaki glaze, its edges caramelized to perfection. Beside it, crispy, golden Chicken Katsu steals the spotlight, its panko-crusted coating offering an irresistible crunch that gives way to succulent, flavorful chicken inside. A drizzle of tangy, slightly sweet katsu sauce enhances every bite, balancing the rich flavors perfectly. Served with fluffy white rice and a creamy mac salad.

"Incredible ! I got the Gyoza (Pan-fried dumpling) and the Miso Ramen 味噌拉面 with chicken. They're very generous with the noodles. The egg wasn't too salty. They separated the broth from the soup contents so nothing was soggy. The mango fruit boba was awesome as well."
"It tastes really good, nothing like most of the shops I’ve ordered from. The portion is sensible as I got a small, while a large is a dollar extra (not bad). Upon pickup, it’s cooled and iced. I would order again, but this time making sure they had tapioca pearls available as the store will let you know if they run out."

"there is not one moment where I think there's a better place that provides korean fried chicken that is the exact quality bonchon provides here in the hampton roads region like this. I love Wings, but this is the best place for them which is saying sowmthing cause there's a lot of good contenders here in this area. also I dont know who's doing the 1pc Korean Donut & Sauce but this is my 2nd time getting them and they're so fluffy soft on the inside, phenomenal."
"Big pile of Seasoned French Fries. Tasted like garlic/parmesan. The MoPo Corndog was a cheesy surprise. There was no meat, just a crust with fries infused to it, then glaze the whole thing. The inside was a mass of melty cheese. The Strips were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Seasoned with the soy/garlic and Spicy sauces. Even after delivery, arrived fresh and delicious. Definitely worth getting again."
