We have seen this place on our travels and always say we should go in. Tonight, we decided to.
We got there at 6:50pm.
First off, what kind of dining establishment closes at 8pm?
We walk inside and nobody is there to greet us.
Fortunately, they have a gong. I don't think it is there to summon the wait staff but did that stop us? No, definitely not.
The host/restaurant manager showed up promptly.
Asked us if we needed a weak constitution (vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free) menu. We did not.
We were escorted back to our both.
It was dark and minimalist. I expected it to be more "exotic" being a Global Restaurant. The walls were mostly bare with a couple French looking paintings.
We were given our menus and told that our waitress would be right with us.
Water was promptly served and then began the wait.
We had to wait a good 15 minutes in an almost empty restaurant before someone came close enough to flag down. Ordered a stuffed mushroom appetizer, a bottle of Savengion Blanc and a couple entrees.
While we waited, I overheard someone at a neighorimg table say they had never seen Back to the Future.(I don't believe you.)
Eggplant Parm and Mushrooms were great. The French Steak was not to my wife's liking.
The wine was great, thank New Zealand.
Overall, I'm glad we went but after spending $120, I don't think I would go again.
Great food, great service, great selection, handicapped friendly restroom. They happily accommodated gluten free. It may be a bit difficult for handicapped folks in the restaurant bc it's very tiny. That being said, it's REALLY great food and they do offer take out and it's also so good. It reminds me of all the photos and videos of tiny sushi places in Japan. They offer all you can eat on Sundays.
Such a hidden gem, great service and very friendly staff.
I have celiac disease and I have repeatedly returned for the L1 Happy Bibimbap bowl and have always been great. They bring gf soy sauce! The menu is confusing in terms of celiac safe so i would recommend asking and confirming before eating.
We had a big, annoying party with a ton of restrictions (gluten-free, vegan, allergies, etc) and they were awesome. Servers were really patient with us! And most importantly, food was great. Veggie tempura is to die for!
This is our families favorite Thai place. 2 of my kids are vegan and one is gluten free and they all have options. They tend to get different curries the most. My personal favorite is the fried tofu. The dipping sauce that comes with it is so yummy! Always promt service.
So delicious! It was also fast and well-priced, and the service was excellent. My friend and I didn’t have time to eat there, so they let me walk in and choose the sushi I wanted from the conveyor belt, and they boxed it up beautifully for my friend and I. I would highly recommend that as an option even for a romantic surprise picnic for two—the box was the perfect size for a GENEROUS lunch for two. Probably could have even fed three if we hadn’t been so hungry.
The customer service was excellent—I told them we only wanted varieties that were cooked and that I was avoiding gluten, and they worked me in those parameters, even offering to make a couple of fresh rolls which weren’t on the conveyor belt at the time (the Salem roll for my friend, and the lemon roll for me). When they make it fresh for you, it makes two portions, so you can either buy the whole thing or just half of it. Overall a great experience!! We can’t wait to hopefully go again someday.
Celiac friendly
