Both the dry tofu appetizer and spicy beef noodle soup were delicious. Together with the speedy service and reasonable prices, we can see why they are usually packed at lunch and dinner time.

' Sure, it may taste pretty good, but fresh falafels are so much better. That said, Falafels Plus makes a mean fresh falafel sandwich. The only negative is that we wish we there had been more sauce options.

Come here not for exquisite tasting sushi but for copious amounts of decent food at great prices. With seating for only about 16 and a questionable restroom, take-out might be the better option, despite the outstanding service.

Sure, the fact that it was after lunch on a Saturday had something to do with it, but still, this is not a brand new location. We were served by a very nice man who went out of his way to help us. As we sat eating, it was fun looking out the windows at the people streaming by. To top it off, it's open 24 hours.

We were a little apprehensive walking into Ming Tak tonight, but we were quickly put at ease after our server started talking about possible cross contamination. She helped us order the right amount of food as well. The dishes were overall very good with the exception of the carrots in the stir-fry. The decor is pretty basic, but given these prices, what would you expect? They take cash only, but they do serve two beers and a red and a white wine.

They don't aspire to wow your palate; instead they offer good comfort food that satisfies. Add in exemplary service and Bob's your uncle.
