Jeffrey Starke: You get a lot of food for a really good price!
Hannah Parvaz: Huge, delicious poke bowls. Awesome vegetarian and vegan options - the sauce on the tofu was out of this world. Get with quinoa.
Kate Furman: Delicious bright poke bowls for ~$10. The marinated salmon poke is absolutely delicious. They offer white rice, brown rice, or salad as a base.

Cherie Mok: Great outdoor seating set up with booths. Definitely try the Banh Xeo crepe and the Chili crab fried rice! And don't skip the cocktails!
Hannah: Favorite restaurant in nyc. Get the fried chicken app, crispy snapper, branzino, crab fried rice. You can’t go wrong—everything’s phenomenal
Polina Weitz: Delicious cocktails, fun decor and great service. The hamachi and the crab fried rice were superb, other dishes were ok. The acoustic is very loud, hard to keep a conversation.
Chop Suey Club: 1/4 lb gets you about 5 pieces of spicy pork jerky, nice tasty snack on the go. There are also jerkies made of beef, chicken and shrimp. Don't forget to pick up a box of fine pineapple pastries.
Stephanie Tan: Tried the spicy beef, chicken, and pork jerky. Pork is hands down the most tender and flavorful of them all! Worth the $18/lb price tag.
Chop Suey Club: Spicy pork all the way please. And make sure you try the pineapple pastry - changes everything.
