"I will forever love you Mr. Cluck sandwich!!!!!!"
"Food was pretty gross and poor quality. The middle of the taco shells were drenched in oil and wet, while the edges were way too hard. The sauce tasted sour, like something had gone bad. Don't get the tacos. The fries were okay, just kinda soggy. I got a burger as well and it was very underwhelming; the buns were actually hard as a rock. You're better off getting McDonalds or Taco Bell."

"The salmon is fantastic. Cooked to perfection. Great spices. It has to be the best salmon in town. "
"The brownie tasted like microwaveable brownie. It looks nothing like the picture; the picture has a huge square Brownie and what they give you is a small circular Brownie. I also ordered an Oreo cookie milkshake, and when I picked it up, it looked like chocolate milk. I asked the server if this was a Oreo shake and he said yes, I then asked him to make it thicker since it was a milk consistency. When he remade it, it still looked like a chocolate milkshake because it was a chocolate milkshake. When he packed the two warm Brownies that I ordered he put the ice cream in a separate container between the two brownies so that the ice cream would end up melting. The person who worked there absolutely did not care at all about serving correct or good food. Save your money and go somewhere else. I have never been to a Dennys that had such poor food and poor service."

"The O.G. Kotsu was delicious. Rich and satisfying."
"The ramen was delicious like always and the gyoza was fine, they forgot to remove the mushrooms like I asked but since they keep the broth and other ingredients separate from each other I was able to remove most of them fairly easily. I tried the karage rice bowl for the first time and while the chicken was good the rest of the flavors were a bit overwhelming but I've always been told I have a bit of a sensitive tongue so that's on me. Overall I'd say that I'll be coming back next time I crave ramen."

"I miss the fast food from my home country—it’s fresher, better quality, and has more variety. Yet, the Whopper is the only thing here that tastes the same, which is why I love it "
"I never write reviews but these wraps were awful and not worth purchasing. I wanted to try them since I hadnt had Burger King in a while. The "chicken" was super rubbery to the point where I had to inspect it. Who knows what I actually ate. Also, the presentation was sloppy and they were super small. Ive also tried the wraps from Carls Jr and those are 100% better."
