This is a frequent work lunch haunt. The menu is ridiculously extensive. Like, novel-length. But that means theres something here for everyone - everything from pho, to birds nests, to stir fries, to sushi. If its vaguely Asian and not from India, theyve probably got some version of it. Surprisingly, the vegetarian options are rather slim, but theyll work with substitutions and the quality is quite good - not knock-your-socks-off good, but quite tasty. I recommend the Buddhas Monday with lemongrass tofu, doused in the various delicious condiments they have on the table. The veggie tempura roll is also quite tasty. Theres no lunch menu, and the portions are quite generous, so if youre here for lunch, either bring an appetite or prepare to have some leftovers. Theyve also got a great draft beer selection and a full bar for those of you who arent returning to productivity after your meal. The service is also on point - the hosts are usually a little lukewarm, but the servers are friendly and attentive, Ive never had an order come out wrong, and theyre even good sports when a friend gleefully quizzes them on how well they know the massive menu (we have been impressed on multiple occasions). They clearly know their stuff. Ambiance is bright, airy, and rather noisy. Think the classier end of giant murals and mirrors and TVs. Very Western, though - this is not your standard Chinese restaurant decor. Theyre definitely rocking the sports bar vibe. This would be a terrific place to watch whatever game youre planning to watch this weekend. Lots o TVs, and the bar area is quite nice. Theres also a very pleasant outdoor patio with a nice fountain for days when the weather isnt gross. Just be aware that the patio chairs have a pretty impressive recline (Laid back. Literally.), and if you sit right beside the fountain youll probably get sprinkled on occasionally.

We had a business meeting and decided to order lunch from BFF Asian Grill. I called in our order for pickup and the person I spoke to over the phone was very pleasant. I was told our order would be ready in 15 minutes, and much to my surprise it was actually ready when they said it would be. I was kindly greeted when I walked in the door. They showed me each of my meals I ordered while they bagged it up so that I could see each was correct. The meals were all very good; we had a tofu pad thai, two grilled chicken rice plates (one with a fried egg and one without), a combination fried rice, and a chicken bahn mi . My only complaint that I have is about their miso soup. Miso soup is one of my favorite things, and the miso I had from this restaurant was the worst miso soup Ive ever had. It smelled very very fishy, which I have never experienced before. There was a good amount of tofu and seaweed in the soup, but the seaweed that was in there was in very large pieces and looked as though it was a prepackaged seaweed that they had tossed into the soup right before I picked it up. I also found part of what I assume was a shrimp tail in the soup. I took a few bites but could not stomach the rest so I tossed it. I would recommend this restaurant but would also recommend passing on the miso.

I didnt really care for this place. It smelled really bad when we walked into the restaurant. I asked the hostesses what the smell was (smelled like sewage or a plumbing issue) and they acted like they couldnt smell anything. I questioned it again because there was absolutely no way they could not smell it and then they said someone else had said they smelled something and thought it might be the construction going on next door. When we got to our table it was dirty and no one offered to clean it off for us. I got some leftover napkins from another table and wiped down ours. When the server brought out my drink she sat it down on the table top but there was a coaster so I moved it and saw nasty food stuck to it! When I tried to make some hoisin-siracha sauce in their ramekin bowls, it had gunk it it too! The entree didnt taste bad but by then I just found myself looking for things to be grossed out about. I ate what I wanted and we left. I dont think well be back...

I came here for the first time on my birthday and ordered sushi and spring rolls and it was awsome! So i decided to come again and order somthing different. I ordered chicken noodles. I took one bite and It was SUPER greasy and didnt like it. My husband ordered the teriyaki and loved it. So i asked my waitress if i could replace it with something else. My poor waiter came back apologizing saying her manager or higher up told her to explain to us that it is ment to be that way and would not replace the food. Sad to say i left hungry and disappointed. Dont come here if you are not sure if you will like the food. Cause customers dont come first ):

It has a nice bar and ambiance although it kinda smelled funny. We ordered a bff roll and some egg rolls for an appetizer. The roll was ok but very sloppy and saucy with a tiny piece of tuna on top. The eggroll was super greasy and had more carrots than anything else. Our waitress was nice and and attentive but the person that brought out our eggroll couldnt be bothered to clear our dirty dish out of the way. Our entrees were stir fried chicken and kung pao chicken. They both were extremely bland and the ingredients did not seem very fresh. The only way we would come back is if we we were just going to have a drink.

This is my favorite place to go for Asian fusion cuisine--and I LOVE Asian food, so that says a lot. My order has never been wrong, the food has always been fresh, Ive never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time, the staff has always been professional, friendly, courteous and attentive, the restaurant is clean and well-maintained, the atmosphere is relaxing and attractive, the food is well-prepared and delicious, they have a LOT of seafood, nigiri & sashimi options, and its reasonably priced with good portions. I honestly cant think of anything negative to say about this grill. Highly recommended!

Usually have a good time at this place good food but the two chicks behind the bar were unattentive focusing on people they knew rather than providing everyone service ordered a beer waited 15 before bartender said Im sorry didnt I bring your beer... answer was no... didnt even return to take a food order so 15 min later some blonde bartender with a bad attitude comes around I had to yell to get her attention finally takes my order when the food come no silverware... I will go back but Im not pleased with the service tonight

If youre a vegetarian, dont bother. Even though they have a vegetarian section on the menu. I got a tofu Bahn mi one time and it was terrific, but having attempted to order the same item several times since I have been told were out of tofu we dont have a tofu Bahn mi and are you looking at the online menu, because its not up to date. (I was looking at the printed menu that I got less than a month ago.) I wont be troubling this place with my business any more.
