Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Tonkotsu Ramen was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Solid spot. The Korean Bibimbap 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.
Holy Eatery has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Pho but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the General Tso's Chicken and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Mixed feelings. The Tonkotsu Ramen 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.
