Great food. So delicious. Sweet server. Little loud but it says something about the restaurant because it's always packed.

The food was solid, but I took the server's recommendation to order the black truffle gnocchi. I don't care for gnocchi- this was to die for! Paired with one of...

"Read a good amount of reviews before deciding to try this place. Some people claimed the food tasted rotten. I came prepared. Before my partner and I were greeted, a lady spoke to a man who emerged from behind one of the front counters while having his phone out. I tried to think nothing of it. I ordered teriyaki tofu and rice, Kung pao tofu and rice, sesame balls, and a Thai tea. The food took the same speedy amount of time one would expect and wish for at a fast food establishment. It felt less than 5 min and both dishes were ready. The Kung pao tofu was spicy and flavorful. Whole thing was consumed contently. Sesame balls were good. The problem came with the teriyaki tofu. A few bites were chill. It 's your standard teriyaki dish in terms of flavor. I had a slight funky taste in a bite of white rice. The funk for sure was present in one of the tofu pieces. It tasted sour/gone bad. I had to spit the bite into a napkin. My appetite left. I 'd order the Kung pao again and even try a new dish, but the fact I and other people have had not so good experiences give me great hesitation to come back. The lady at the front was nice. The place was dead for a Saturday evening. I expect and don 't mind waiting for a restaurant to cook some fresh as can get food. I don 't expect a garden in the back. Please don 't serve any more old food. Spent like $40 and didn 't get to enjoy what was paid for. Also, parking is small, so it 's best to park somewhere else close by and start walking."

"Very pleasant experience. Water street is a smaller and very personable venue. Dinner was delicious. I enjoyed one of the specials for the evening, linguine with clams. The other guests food looked good and they were pleased. Staff was attentive and pace controlled by kitchen. Length between meals was a tad long, but all the plates came out together was is appreciated, with high attention to detail on a semi busy evening. Wine selection was good for the venue and paired well with dinner. Yes, we would go back. Desserts were fantastic as well."

"A little less than mediocre. Service style was like a chipotle they build the Korean bowl while moving your food down the line. We had lunch for 4. Observations: Rice was undercooked, rather inedible. Beef was cold and over seasoned. Which made it less tasty, but also a food safety issue. Firecracker pork good, not great. Spicy tofu fine Korean vegetables were OK. Overall, had that vibe of a restaurant that started strong, grew too fast, and is now managed (badly) by teenagers and young adults who lack attention to detail no one paying attention to quality. Too bad as a concept, its a very good one. Price is pretty cheap $12 for the tofu bowl, $14 for the beef bowl. But disappointing. Would rather pay more for something wonderful, or pay less and go to fast food and get consistently quality."
