Andrea P. • March 22, 2014Great brunch item: cinnamon pretZel roll!

Mayank M. • July 5, 2018The coconut curry fried chicken is perfectly crispy. Comes with a delicious honey donut too. Can't go wrong here.

Gabrielle • September 17, 2022Tasty dumplings! Get the spicy wonton dumplings; soup dumplings are ok and spicy ones are better (not actually spicy!)

Karli S. • December 23, 2015Get a SmokeShack burger. You will not be disappointed. The seating upstairs is really nice and it's a great place to take a rest between classes.

Jessica P. • June 7, 2018If you like spice, get the schug falafel sandwich. It’s super flavorful and not overwhelmingly spicy. The seasoned fries are also great, and the banana shake is AWESOME and comes with cookies on top.

Holden R. • October 3, 2013Jarritos were only $1 here until this week. $1.25 is still pretty unbeatable. Any burrito here is delicious, with whatever meat suits your needs. Standard food truck prices too. Get Jarritos.
