“ Great lunch sandwiches love the food here and I order 3 times a week love their chicken sandwiches ”
“ I have the pleasure of working directly across the street from this establishment. My co-workers had been going here for a while so they introduced me to it. I am glad they did. You can order online or on a kiosk when you arrive. There are several tables inside if you care to eat in but we have always taken our orders to go. I have now been here approximately 8-10 times over the course of 13 months. It has never disappointed. My staple is the lemongrass chicken with vegetarian fried rice, corn, pickled veggies, fried egg, crispy shallots, with chili sauce on the side. Outstanding. Tasty and the portion is huge. Consistently excellent. My meal with tip is always close to $20. However, you can limit your options and have a cheaper meal. The staff is always nice and appreciative of the business. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown New Brunswick. There is no on street parking but public lots in the area. ”
“ I was in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch. Stopped by in the afternoon and ordered the tofu banh mi. It was really good, very delicious and full of flavors. It's a nice cozy spot, I'd come back when in the area. ”
“ So I went back and tried the lemongrass beef sandwich! It was very good but light on the beef and heavy on the carrots lol. My friend has the lemongrass chicken but it was unfortunately dry and she didn't enjoy it. ”
“ I ordered pick up on my way home from sesame place. Online order was quick and seamless. Although its not authentic (spices tasted different) Khmer food, it was still good. ”
“ This is my favorite restaurant in New Jersey. I only visit NJ for work a few times a year, and if I happen to be staying within a 45 minute drive of New Brunswick, I make sure to stop in. The Lemongrass Steak Rice Box ($14.25) with a side of Cambo Fries ($6.75) are of of this world. The steak is tender and salty/sweet, and is complimented so well with the slaw, rice and lime. The fries are air-fried, but somehow crispy - topped with pickled carrots, cilantro and maybe the best condiment I've ever had - sweet chili mayo. I always make sure to get an extra side of the stuff. I can't wait until my next visit. ”
“ Their food is so good! So filling, savory and satisfying, you wont go wrong. You can personalize your meal to your liking. Its a small casual place and there is plenty of seating inside. I had the soy garlic chicken with fried rice and vegetables. Service is quick! I would come back here again and try other things on their menu. ”
“ This is a great fusion place in downtown New Brunswick. Since its the downtown area, there is no parking. Off street parking only and its located near the state theater. I ordered the Lemon grass chicken box with all the possible toppings that didn't cost extra. My rice box has corn and shallots with some mayo sauce. It was tasty as it was my first time trying this place. You can eat in as they do have about 6-9 tables available for dine in. I would recommend trying their Thai iced tea that comes in a bag. The service was really quick from the time we placed the order. It only took about 5-10 minutes to get our order to the table. Overall, I would come back to try other menu items when I'm in the area. ”
“ Small store front with few tables inside. There's two kiosks ordering stations as soon as you enter so go place your order. If paying by cash, go to the cashier. I ordered soy garlic chicken with rice and salad as base and chilli mayo on the side. The order came out quick and food is good but bit pricey for the portion. I will try their sandwiches next time and opt for different protein. The Thai milk tea is good and so addictive! Parking is challenging (literally none) on George Street so be prepared to walk to the store. ”
