Great asian fusion option for the area. The Pho was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Mixed feelings. The Pad Thai was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Tonkotsu Ramen stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Solid spot. The Pad Thai is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Brick Spot has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the General Tso's Chicken but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
