If I could give 6 stars for service, I would. Well priced drinks and cocktails. Fun Asian fusion food options with a ton of vegetarian choices. A classic movie is always on and whether it's busy or quiet, it's cozy. Love this spot! The lemongrass pork chop 🥩 was SO GOOD. Got it with salad instead of rice and a fried egg. The fried tofu bites are the perfect app.

This place always rocked for dinner! Amazing vibe- yummy food and super tasty cocktails. But lunch was such a treat too - super kid friendly, great food and quick/nice service. Yes!!!

One of the best and not too expensive local spots in New York! Servers, bartenders and hosts always provide a lovely experience. Would definitely recommend stopping in!! Happy hour is also very nice here!

Wow. Hidden gem off the beaten path. We've been here a few times. First when it had just opened for drinks. Craft cocktails done very well, and very consistent. There is a cocktail for everyone it seems. Food was great too. The nachos weren't typical. We also had the Singapore noodles and beef curry. Curry was amazing as was the noddles as recommended by the bar. Service was great too. Bartenders friendly and make you feel very welcome. Definitely adding this place into the regular rotation.

The Expat is a gem. I love the style and vibe. The mix of grad students and locals is great and the prices are better. The food is genuinely creative, which is just a cherry on top.

Solid place in the neighborhood. Outdoor seating is nice and spread out so my wife and I felt comfortable eating there. The lemon pepper chicken wings were really good as were the other food we ate. Great menu for those with a gluten allergy.

I really like this place. Fun environment, nice decor. Great happy hour deals until 6. Food is pretty good, a bit on the oily side but lots of nice options. Chicken curry is great. The wings are good. Pad Thai and fried rice pretty standard

Phenomenal hidden spot in West Harlem with a speakeasy vibe and awesome veg friendly southeast asian food. They have phenomenal wings (all can be made with cauliflower!), we had the lemon pepper, buffalo and dragon wings, all were great. Additionally, we also had singapore noodles, and the vermicelli noodles were also recommended. We'll be coming back, and cocktails are going to be great!

We love the ExPat and visit every time we are in NY. The food is so thoughtfully prepared and delicious. And the drinks are great too! My kids favorite is the Curried Lemon Pepper Tofu Bites - and they don't even like tofu! I love everything I've ever eaten here, but on our last visit I devoured the Vietnamese Papaya Salad. There are lots of veggies in all of the dishes which is really nice. I've only eaten in, but I think this food would also work great as take-out. The servers and bar tenders were all really nice and attentive, and the decor is wonderful!

Fabulous service and delicious food. Would definitely return!

Fantastic food. I had their Hanoi burger and my wife had the Thai Basil fried rice. Both were delicious and full flavor. The burger is one of the best in the area. Great vibe.

Amazing customer service and superb hospitality. Delicious food and drinks. Will definitely return!

I love this place. They have a great selection of drinks to fit anyones needs and the food is on point. Be sure to check out their new late night menu. The atmosphere is fantastic anytime of day or year. It’s the perfect post(or pre) concert/rehearsal hang. The staff is fantastic, friendly, and inventive. They really value their customers. Cheers!

This place is great. Truly adapts the idea of an expatriate in an international country. The food is flavourful and authentic. Definitely try the Yellow Curry, and get it spicy. Service was great.

Literally the best waffle of my life & it’s gluten free!! Cauliflower wings were 10/10, lots of seasoning

Really homey atmosphere combined with a good vibe and good food choices inspired by pan Asian fare.

The pad thai was flavorful, and we got some loaded tater tots which was great! My only complaint is the drinks are a bit expensive. Will definitely go back to try some more dishes!

Great little spot I stumbled upon with Asian fusion food and other goodies. Looks like it could be a great date spot but it was perfect for me solo at the bar. Will def be back to try some of their cocktails

We hosted a party for 30 people, plus some of our guests' young children, at The Expat. Renting out the bar area is a great option for groups of this size or smaller. They accommodated our dietary requests, including multiple vegetarian options and dairy+gluten-free options. Reasonably priced relative to other options in the area, with good food and drinks.

Super chill spot for lunch with exceptional service. Our food was bright with flavor, from sandwiches to stir fry dishes, and our host was very kind and thoughtful.

Wish I had known about this place pre covid.. we got a peak of the interior and love the retro vibe. Clueless was playing in a projector in the back. Currently have open outdoor seating on both sides of the corner block. Staff was super sweet and let us use the bathroom.

I had a disappointing experience here. After finishing my meal, the staff took my credit card to process the payment but didn’t bring back the receipt. I had to ask for it myself, and only then did I notice that a 22% tip had already been charged to my card — without my consent or any prior discussion. I did not authorize or sign for that tip amount. If an electronic signature was used, it definitely wasn’t mine. I believe customers should always have the opportunity to choose how much to tip, and adding a gratuity without any communication feels misleading. That said, after I posted my initial review, the management reached out and kindly offered their email so I could contact them directly. I appreciate their willingness to listen and address the concern, and I respect that they took the time to respond thoughtfully. While the situation was frustrating, I hope it was just a one-time mistake. I truly wish them the best and hope they continue to grow with integrity and transparency.

Friends took me here while I was visiting just before Covid in 2020. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu. The drinks were great, and the food was both beautiful and delicious.

Perfect place for a weekday evening hangout! I love their Bangkok Mule and their small bites. They swap the wings for cauliflower, to make amazing vegetarian options!

Fun place with yummy food and fabulous service! Cameron our server was sweet, kind and knowledgeable. Went with all of her food and drink suggestions, and everything was a hit for all four of us! Will definitely go back and ask to sit in her section!

Great neighborhood treasure! Amazing Thai food. I had Singapore Noodles... top tier! Bar is stellar. Our bartender, Sarah an absolute delight and beautiful presence. Definitely returning!

STOP AND READ! I have been to over 30 Thai spots since approx 2010 and this place has the best spring rolls and most delicious chicken basil ever! It's really delicious! Please check it out. Has a big bar too but the food is seriously terrific.

What an amazing find. If you’re uptown near Columbia and don’t know about this neighborhood gem you should. Really great environment, great food and friendly staff. The international pub every neighborhood should have

Pad Thai and drinks were great! Kyle, the bartender was an absolute gem to talk to and he makes a mean negroni.

One of the best places in the neighborhood! Great place for any occasion, whether it’s date night, group hang or a solo read at the bar in the afternoon during their extended Happy Hour. Food and drinks are on point. They just revamped the menu for spring and prices are fair for nyc. Cocktails are always creative and range from martini to tiki style punches! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, can’t say enough how great this place is!

Recommend: DEFINITELY YES Upon taking those first few steps inside, I was awed at the vintage-chic beauty. The ambiance was amazing and the customer service one of the best I've seen. The food was ok. Could've been better but it was definitely good.

Worth the wait! Our food was delayed put the Food was all worth it. Plus customer service recovery with was great!(thanks Carlito) if you have Carlito you’re in good hands. Great drinks! Must try the Bangkok Mule and the Singapore noodles

Strongly recommend. Food, staff, atmosphere are all great. Will be coming back for sure!

Their hours aren't correct but lucky for me they opened at 4 pm just about when I got there. Great customer service by all staff. Clean restaurant! Food was impeccable! New favorite restaurant, will return again!

A great local bar with amazing food, cocktails, and a fun atmosphere. Their cauliflower wings are other-worldly, and they have a great happy hour menu. The staff is always lovely and they decorate beautifully for the seasons. Try the hard kombucha!

I cannot wait to come back here. The drinks and the food were delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. I felt like I was on a Harry Potter set. So cozy and cute. I got the tofu pad Thai, spring rolls, and an amaretto sour. Highly recommend!

We had the firecracker wings, shrimp dimsums, chicken nachos, chicken burger, and Singapore Noodles. For drinks we ordered 2 LIITs (The Blue Drink) and 1 house lager. Everything was great except the Singapore Noodles - will not recommend that. Giving a 5* rating despite the really dry noodles because the wings, nachos and dimsums were outright winners! The Blue Drinks are restricted to 2 per person for a good reason and the staff was really friendly too :)

Delicious brunch menu it was hard to make a choice when there were so many amazing options

Extremely good food with tons of flavor (curry tots + cauli wings were exceptional), fun digs, and wonderful service. Would highly recommend!

My favorite dining experience in NY. Great food, lovely service, and an awesome vibe. Cheers-like pub meets fantastic SE Asian fusion food. Flo and Katie are exceptional servers and add to the neighborly experience everyone receives here.

The basil fried rice was amazing and so were the drinks. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

I had the first date with my boyfriend at this cute place last year, and we’re celebrating our anniversary at this place again this year. The interior is beautiful and food is delicious, service is warm and attending, overall excellent place!

Best spot in the neighborhood. Atmosphere is cozy before 7pm and lively most nights. Cauliflower wings are exquisite. The menu has good breadth. Only a few items fall short (i think the pad thai isn't the best), but you mostly can't go wrong. And they have Guinness now!

The wings here are super delicious, we got the Thai sweet chili ones and a spicy mango salad. The mango salad was incredibly spicy I must say. But we overall liked this place. Can’t wait to try their brunch sometime, which I believe has a bottomless option.

Fantastic brunch. Try the Vietnamese omelette, the Bahn Mi B.E.C., and the mochi waffle.

Definitely recommend a reservation if you want to avoid a wait. The staff is friendly and the food is great so it’s worth the wait even if you don’t make one. We got the disco tots and man were they good. If you like a good cheese to tot ratio, they’re spot on. The menu has a lot to offer though so trust you’ll find something for everyone!

Dylan Smith

Great atmosphere and genuinely attentive service. The Lemon Pepper Curry wings are a standout. They're unique, crispy, and packed with flavor. Other favorites: the Curry Chicken Quesadilla and the Char Siu BBQ Pork Fried Rice. If you’re having a cocktail and like bourbon, order the Super Strawberry Smash Bros. All around a fantastic spot. I’ll be back.

Han Yong Wunrow

Great spot for a happy hour (11:30 AM - 6:30 PM Monday through Friday and 4 PM - 6 PM on Saturday and Sunday)! The cauliflower wings are a must order! . My favorite drink on their happy hour menu is the Kumqat Spritz. Note that it can easily get crowded especially when there's an event hosted by the University.

Nicholas Rine

I definitely recommend the fried tofu bites and Bahn mi smash burger. We went here for a friend's birthday and they were able to comfortably accommodate 10+ people without issues. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive to our party and the atmosphere was extremely warm and welcoming. This place is worth checking out. We had 3 cocktails, an appetizer, 2 sodas and two entrees and spent about $80. A VERY reasonable night out for 2

Ashley Edwards

Came here for brunch and it was amazing! Every dish was delicious and fresh and the cocktails were strong and tasty. We ordered the Vietnamese omelette, Thai basil fried rice, spicy mango salad, and lemon curry tater tots. I'll definitely be back!

Ana Perez

I was very impressed by the place. Great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks. My only con is that the drinks took too long to arrive, but the staff was very friendly and the fries were to die for.

Having been a expat in Asia, Singapore/Jakarta/Seoul as well as Europe Austria/Geneva, this appropriately but not overdone venue brings back many positive memories and I have been a consistent local regular since I moved to UWS including hosting events. Unlike many small bars of this kind in NYC the service is consistently high as well as quality of its food/drinks yet approachable.

Francisco Santibañez

Been here so many times at different hours. It is one of the best places in the area to either have good food or a fun Friday/Saturday night. Cocktails are okay but some of them are actually really great: lychee martini for example. Food is actually quite good: the noodle dishes are my favourite. Will come back and would recommend!

M

One of the top places ive been to in manhattan, easily. The staff is bright and charming. The outdoor seating is well spaced. The drinks are strong. I was debating with my friend if the firecracker wings here were among the best of manhattan, they were that good. But honestly so was everything else. Lemongrass porkchop was a big portion. Didnt love the fried chicken sandwich.

The Expat is a great pub to go for after work. They have a super nice place, that gives a nice vibe of an Irish pub with Asian influences. They have a variety of unique cocktails which you should try. Otherwise they offer a good beer selection. When I went there they had 4 beers on tap and several bottles. The food is amazing! We started with the cauliflower wings and tofu appetizer. The sauce of both dishes is delicious,you have to try it. The entre was the beyond meat burger. Great made with a lot of fries. You will definitely be satisfied. The dessert was the lava cake. Amazing! A great Finale for a wonderful time. The service was all the time great. All people are friendly and ensure that you have a great time. When you have the chance, go here it is a great experience!

Delicious food, I LOVE the house-made pickles! My favorite menu item is the Shrimp Cigars, but I wish the photo shown on all of the delivery platforms didn't show so many. You only get 4 per order ($11) and that isn't exactly clear when the photo shows at least 8 or so. Otherwise no complaints, I love this place!!

Great little spot located a block away from Broadway. It doesn't get a lot of transient traffic which makes it a quiet place to visit. Love the cuisine here as well as the selection of alcohol.

Very nice place TVs and big screen playing, and nice music staff was pleasant and informative. Bar tender carlos great mixalalus my drinks were right on and my girl was happy with the Drinks and the food and that's hard to do

Maybe I was impatient because I craved Buffalo cauliflower wings and beer so much, but it seemed the staff was slow to grab our order. Apart from that, the food and drinks were great!

The Expat is a fantastic spot that never disappoints! I’ve been here several times, and every visit is consistently great. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. The unique basement setting, with windows halfway visible, gives it a special charm with beautiful natural lighting. Highly recommend this hidden gem for both the atmosphere and the top-notch experience!

Really awesome place... they decorated the place with a home-ish feel. We had our company xmas party and it was great. The food was great they ordered appetizers and had drink tickets for us. Bathrooms are clean and fresh... lots of Instagram moments. Entrance is handicap accessible and steps. Overall cool place... I'd definitely go with friends..

Layout/atmosphere *Stairs lead down to entrance of lower level of a building (no sign); Vietnamese restaurant; wooden tables/booths; round bar in center of room with TV; projector screen on far wall; tchotchkes on shelves; dog-friendly; covered outdoor dining structure in street on Broadway; tables on sidewalk on Broadway and Tiemann Service *Attentive Food/drink *Bangkok Mule (Japanese Craft Suntory Haku Vodka, fresh house-made ginger syrup, lime, Thai basil and bird chili) - Good; the ginger and the chili definitely came across *Vietnamese Papaya Salad (shredded green papaya with Vietnamese dressing + shredded chicken; low spice) - good; fresh ingredients; little heavy on the red onions *Vietnamese Rice Vermicelli Bowls [Lemongrass Shrimp] (fresh herbs, veggie fritter, homemade beef spring roll, crispy shallots & Nuoc cham sauce) - good; a lot going on in the bowl; shrimp & spring rolls stood out; noodles cooked well; sauce on the sweeter side

Really cute place. Staff was very accommodating. They can make mocktails from the cocktails they have. We had brunch and it was delicious!

It's a tad loud and crowded for my taste, but certainly has an exciting atmosphere. The decorations inside are quite eclectic and so are the menu selections. If you are bigger than a group of four, make sure to reserve a table ahead of time!

Nicole Louie

A cute bar for meeting with friends or for a date. It’s great to go for happy hour to get drinks and snacks. I really like the chicken wings and the different flavorings they have.

Dirty Souf Yankee

The food here was ok, but nothing special. The chicken pad thai was pretty run of the mill and the lychee rose creme brulee was more like pudding with a lot of sugar on top. I don't think they torched it enough to be crisp and crunchy. Nice idea but not a great execution. My server / bartender was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed and not super attentive. The place has great ambiance and a nice vibe though. I would maybe come back to try something 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars

The restaurant is a gastro pub and is in the basement and as you enter the bar is right in front of you, so its a drunkard's delight. The restaurant is pretty small, however, there is outside dining. Outside dining needs to up their game, it's pretty sloppy and some tables had bad lighting and right underneath the public CC cameras. Food: ⭐⭐½ Positives - The lemon curry pepper wings were good. It had a crunch to it and had a good zingy taste to it. The curry chicken quesadillas were very good. Earl grey hot tea was outstanding. Negatives - The Singapore noodles although came with a large serve, felt was lacking seasoning. The Tom yum chicken fried rice although smelled good, the taste didn't match the aroma, infact the food tasted stale and mushy. The Bo Luc Lac was delicious, but disappointing when it came to quantity. There were more cucumbers than beef cubes and it was cooked to well done 😐. The spring rolls were soggy and oily when served. Coconut rice didn't have the authentic robust coconut flavor. Service: ⭐⭐ The waitress who took our call, received us at our arrival, and who seated us was welcoming & cordial. However, the waitress who took our order was on the flip side. Initially was good, but turned out to make our evening a disaster. We placed our order and 20 mins later my wife had her order (fried rice). Unlike most restaurants, they didn't serve the appetizers first and my wife waited for the rest of the food to arrive so we all could eat together however minutes passed and nothing arrived. I had to call the waiter and sendthe fried rice back as it became cold. She looked pissed turned around and said in this restaurant we serve whatever is ready first and everything else comes after. In my head and the rest were thinking "so what's the concept of having appetizers (cravables) if you don't get it before the entreés". Anyways we let it go by and waited more. 10 mins later she comes in and in a mocking tone explained: "since you wanted everything together, they are remaking your food". We all had facepalms😐. 10 mins later the server came and explained it to us for no reason and this time said next time you have to tell us if you want appetizers first. But isn't this common sense to serve them first???!!!!. Anyways we got the food and it wasn't up to par. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐ The restaurant looked very dull as the first impression led to it being in a basement. Lighting was low, tables and chairs didn't match, some seats were right underneath the NYPD cameras, and tons of marijuana smoke from the streets. I would let others know to dine in and have less than 5 people as the tables don't fit larger groups. Overall: ⭐⭐⅓ Suggestions: Use basmati rice or sona masoori rice, might help with the mushiness of the rice. Explain the customers the order in which they might receive their food. Waitresses need retraining in people skills. Please make rounds to ensure people have full glasses of water.

I came here after a friend recommended their chicken and waffles to me. The service and vibes of this spot are pleasantly rustic and chill. The wait staff were very comfortable making recommendations, which I really appreciated. While visually the impressive, I personally didn’t enjoy their take on chicken and waffles, as it leaned too far into the savory side (they added spring onions and some Asian seasoning). The skin completely fell apart the already small portion of fried chicken and it was very dry and lacking any fat. The syrup, however, was wonderful!

I don’t know why I ordered soup In the summer but it wasn’t good. I’m sure they’ll make it better in the winter and I’ll give the place another chance. Happy hour is great and this place has many food option and good portions.

This used to be one of my favorite places. The food is always so good but the service has turned horrible. The bartenders are inattentive whether it’s merely giving us water or utensils. We always have to ask. Then today there was a pretty big bug in my food. Of course it was taken off the bill, but there was barely an apology. I’m not one to be a “Karen” but this was pretty unacceptable.

Yesterday I went there and was given the option of two tables. I opted for the table, closest to the window for me and my date to enjoy. The server then started to prepare the table for me. Shortly after a gentleman walks in with the dog and has a conversation with the server. The server then looks back at me and proceeds to give the table to the gentleman with the dog. No consideration, no apologies for the inconvenience, not even a conversation saying hey it’ll be just a while longer. Just a smug smile. To add insult to injury, he eventually comes over to my date and I to offer us seats outside. It was 8 pm and 48 degrees outside. And it made me wonder if you offered the guy with the dog the same option. Never felt more disrespected at a restaurant.

Ivan Ottavian

The delivery took an hour and I saw on Grubhub they postponed the original schedule by adding 30 minutes but food was hot. Now let’s talk about that: the Pad Thai had a chicken (really hope it was chicken) that tasted funny and after a few bites I thought it was downright inedible, no cashews (but a tasteless nuts granola that added nothing to the flavor) and no trace of garlic, just a mushy hot noodles plate. I liked the fact that the Hamburger had carrots in it and the sauce was very good but the quality of the patty seemed average and it tasted dry. Overall not a good idea ordering from them!

Andres Sevilla

This is the first time I've ever had a Pad Thai and not been satisfied. It was slimy, tasteless, and overall disgusting. I'm sure this place is fine as a college bar, but don't go here expecting good food.

2/5: A gastropub with questionable gastronomy and weird (negative) quirks I’m reviewing this place as a restaurant, not a pub, as I didn’t have a drink. Came here with my date on a Sunday night to have some plates for dinner. We ordered the Thai Yellow Curry Nachos, Thai Basil Stir Fry, and then the Chocolate Brownie. The Nachos were certainly… interesting. First off, the yellow curry flavor was not noticeable at all, so I'm not really sure why they’re called “yellow curry” nachos. They tasted like pretty standard restaurant nachos, with chips + cheese sauce + shredded chicken. It wasn’t really bad, but it was overwhelming. There is a ton of cheese sauce on top, to the point where it was a bit off-putting. We enjoyed it for a few minutes but stopped as we knew we’d get sick. The Thai Basil Stir Fry was mediocre. Standard white rice. A few pieces of chicken. Weird-tasting pickled carrots. Lots of ginger. A side serving of nuts. It’s okay if you’re super hungry and need to eat anything, but not okay if you’re looking for a good quality entree for $15. The brownie was, again, okay. Standard brownie, although it tasted a bit off, to be honest. Waaaaay too much whipped cream on top. Tasty scoop of vanilla on the side. But there were also blueberries alongside the brownie, which is something I’ve never seen before. Strange. For all these dishes, we left them unfinished as we couldn’t be bothered to eat anymore after a certain point. The service was questionable. The servers were nice, but the weird thing is they kept coming to our table about every 5 minutes or so, asking us if we were done eating. If we put our utensils down for a second to take a break from eating, they’d teleport to us asking if they could take our plates or not. It felt like we were certainly being rushed - strange given that it wasn’t fully packed or anything. Not great. Do note that it can get pretty loud inside - it is a pub, after all. If you’re looking for a quiet evening, it isn’t here. Overall, this place might be good as a pub, but as a restaurant, it leaves a lot to be desired.

I really like The Expat for what they offer, a decent beer and drinks selection and good Asian food. However, they seem to be extremely disingenuous when serving vegans and vegetarians. My girlfriend is a born and raised vegetarian. On numerous occasions, she has asked the staff specifically to make sure the cooks don’t add any fish or oyster sauce. And just about every time (3 out of 5), her food has a slight odor and taste of fish and she gets seriously ill because she’s allergic to seafood. This is both seriously frustrating and maddening. And I feel awful for my girlfriend who gets sick in the process.

I have never met a manager this rude. He kicked out a party of 10 and made them pay for drinks. He made us leave for writing a bad review on google!! How terrible. Gave no explanation to the table of why we needed to leave. You can find my other 1 star review on yelp from a few years ago where the charged me $50 dollars for two beers. The servers charged what they felt. Terrible manager. Extremely rude. I truly have never met a manager at a bar that disrespectful. Expect bad reviews every week!!

Read before to go: The food from this place is farrrrrr what you are expecting if you are a old and current customer. The menu has the same name but the dishes are totally different! The breakfast burger and chicken waffles used to be amazing - now they are a very bad - cheap solution. I would give 6 months to this restaurant to survive the new cuisine / administration! Very heartbroken.

I placed an order online for delivery on November 30 2023 specifically asking that tomatoes not be put into my salad, since I’ve developed an allergy towards it. When I received my order, a lot of tomatoes were present. Since there wasn’t a way to directly contact Toast (the app used for the order) I tried calling the restaurant. I spoke with a new employee (she mentioned she was new) and she suggested I place the order again and that I email the managers since they weren't in to speak to. I wasn’t willing to risk more money being lost since they didn’t get it right the first time. I hung up after leaving my contact info with the young lady. I decided to try calling back the next day to see if I could get a refund for that part of my order since I couldn’t even eat it. I spoke with a bartender this time around and he also told me to email the managers since no one was in and to specify a certain subject in order to get their attention. He said they are very quick about getting back to people. I also decided to leave my info with him just in case the first message got lost. It is now December 6, 2023 and I have yet to hear anything or get a response after sending two emails…this is ridiculous at this point over something that could have easily been fixed the night of, had someone decided to actually be at work to authorize it. So in conclusion, be cautious of ordering from this establishment because if they mess up your order, you are stuck with it and they still have your money….

I never write reviews but I just couldn’t stay silent and watch one of my favorite places in the area just fall apart right in front of my eyes. Like others below me have also reported, if you’ve been a regular then you’re in for some heartache because nearly all the food that used to make this place amazing are gone or unrecognizable. Mochi churros gone, their burger selections gone, and what happened to the noodles?? I brought friends here to impress them but it was so embarrassing.

Watery drinks, sloppy and flavorless food, I get it's a very busy bar but setting up the table with napkins soon as we are seated is standard protocol?? My friend took a chance inviting me here and we both left extremely disappointed (he was furious the mochi churros are gone)

Turned away at 10:20p on a Saturday night because it was “closed” but their bar was completely full, kitchen hadn’t even closed yet, and officially they close at 11:59p on Saturday evenings. Took our business around the corner to the Craftsmen instead.

What the hell happened to this place, the Pad Thai used to be my go to here but the last two times it’s been basically an inedible pile of soggy slop where all the noodles are overcooked and chopped into little pieces on arrival. My girlfriend had the Singapore noodle which was also an inedible gloopy mess. I noticed we weren’t the only ones that barely touched our food looking around. Such a bummer how much this place has slipped.

This restaurant was recommend by several of my friends, I was hesitant to try it at first, but decide to give it a go. As I entered, the host didn't greet me at all, I decided to sit at the bar since it was just me. The female bartender was overwhelmed and scolded me when I asked for a menu, I assured her its not a problem since they were busy. When my food arrived I had to wait for utensils for few minutes, only to be given plastic fork because they ran out of their regular ones. Fine. There was a large party that sat next to me that was extremely loud and pushed me away from my space, while going back and forth for food multiple times. I tried to reason with them by asking them to be more courteous of their surroundings, to my surprise they were apologetic but also didn't change their behavior. The Thai fried rice that I ordered wasn't good, there was no flavor, and the chicken was undercooked. Fine, took it to go. As I tried to finish my drink, a staff member almost took it away, this is when I decided to get up and pay my tab and leave. The female bartender that didn't even serve me yelled at me in front of whole bar that next time I should tip. Girlie, you tip for service, not for attitude issues. Just because you can't handle stress and work you shouldn't take it out on other people. Also public shaming can lead to a lawsuit, look it up. If you are LGBT person or a POC avoid this please, they clearly don't want you there, nor your business. Hope that the rude female bartender find a job that suits her attitude and zero respect for people.

Not vegan friendly. There are only 2 appetizers are are vegan. None of the entrées can be made vegan. When I called the restaurant, this woman initially told me that yes, some of the dishes can be made vegan. Then when I pointed out that none of the entrées have the vegan symbol, but that they have the vegetarian symbol, she basically just told me "nevermind. Nothing can be made vegan for you." I asked if she could speak with the kitchen and she refused to. I felt like not only did this worker not know what she was talking about, she refused to put any effort into accommodating me. It's a shame because the 2 appetizers that are vegan sounded good. This person made me feel unwelcome here.

Tried ordering from this place tonight through Seamless— food was late so I tried calling and the restaurant’s phone doesn’t accept calls. Couldn’t get an update from the courier either so I ultimately canceled. Even beyond this, every time I try ordering the food (when it does come) is very late to leave the restaurant.

Don’t know how to cook medium Burgers, Ignorant of costumer service. William -bartender- Lacked of menu knowledge (maybe he was poorly trained ) and ignorance of costumer service. After waiting almost 25 minutes for the burgers - When we expressed dissatisfaction with our orders ( ordered 2 medium burgers and the burgers were cooked dry welldone ) he responded with a dull, superficial and empty attitude “sorry for the inconvenience “; and gave us the bill. Apex’s manager never have the courtesy nor politeness check on us.

I been coming here pretty often in the past with my friends and had a good time because the vibes good and the food was good too, but I stop going for a while since the quality of the food kinda slipped. Lately I come back to give it another try and this gonna be my last time. My food was burnt so bad. Check the video I upload.

Orders through Uber Eats. $107 for 3 dishes. Fried rice and Singapore noodles were horrible. Not edible. We threw all out, sadly. Soup was OK, but the noodles were soggy and stuck together. Really wish that weren’t the case. Never from joint again.

I’ve ordered pickup through Grubhub several times. But the last time, there was a problem: the box with my noodles was dirty. It looked like it might have been on the ground or even stepped on, and they still used it for my food.
