Delicious food, nice and cozy too! Gave it 4 stars because I've been to the one in Edgewater which gets my extra star for the view!
Excellent variety of Asian cuisine at a reasonable price.
Just went there with some friends and they were beyond accommodating for us since we needed separate checks for business purposes.
Located in a very nice area with plenty to walk around and see after a meal.
OMG, THE MENU IS SOOO CONFUSING!! Chinese, Japanese, Sushi, Thai, Fusion…..What is it?? The answer is….WHO CARES!? What is the big deal. I'm sure that if they served only 3 dishes people would be complaining that there wasn't enough variety.
In case you hadn't noticed, there aren't a whole lot of sit down Chinese restaurants left. As a community, we need to embrace those that remain. Otherwise, where the hell are we (Jews) going to eat on Christmas? Not like we have all that many choices. Duh.
Baumgart's is good, really good. Is it fantastic as in the best sushi, Chinese or whatever else they serve, no. But it is really good and the prices are quite reasonable. I've eaten at about 4 or 5 of their locations and have enjoyed them all. The service is attentive without being overbearing and the ice cream looks good although I've never ordered it. Usually fill up on their OUTSTANDING cold sesame noodles. So please, people get over yourselves. The menu is in English and all those confusing things are explained for you. Read the damn thing before you start bitching.
The reason why I'm giving this place 3 stars it's because my meals haven't been consistently good. I've never actually ate here but I have ordered for delivery plenty of times.
I tried the quesadillas and I hate it them, they weren't your typical chicken and cheese. But that's just my opinion.
I also tried the island wrap, great but I always get it with ranch instead of honey mustard and there's been times they forget to put it, also I hate mango in my wrap and they've forgotten to take it out as well. So that's been a turn off. I do however like that when I order anything for delivery they give you a free lemonade or tea. Today I decided to try out their cheeseburger and it wasn't so bad, although I didn't enjoy the bun as much. Will definitely keep trying out their food
Part Diner Part Asia Fusion Restaurant. In appearance it looks like a diner with an old fashioned ice cream parlor counter but when you get to the menu you might think you just walked into a Chinese, Japanese or Thai restaurant. The menu has some basic American comfort foods and I guess Asian comfort foods as wells. I was very surprised when I saw the menu. I couldn't decide between the dim sum, quesadilla, and cheese burger. I ended up with the special of the day crispy duck buns. My friend got the quesadillas and they were good but when we asked the server for some sour cream I think she wasn't sure what that was or if they had it. The duck was excellent. The server seemed a bit confused when it came to dessert too. She had no idea what ice cream toppings they had and didn't have, but she got the order right so all was good. Overall it was a nice friendly place to eat. Definitely a place you can bring kids to and all could find something good to eat.
***Dessert Only Review***
Not bad, nothing great. Our fav part of their sundaes was the lovely homemade whipped cream. Service was kind of curt, but not rude.
Love this restaurant!! Food is amazing!! Love that I can eat japanese and American food at one restaurant! I have a hard time deciding where I want to eat so I always go there since I have so many options!
I know I wrote a review ages ago for this place, not sure where it went, oh well.
Three-cups Chicken Casserole (San bei jei)
White meat chicken with ginger & basil leaf, dry chili pepper, scallion & served in hot casserole. $16.50
While it was pricy for the serving, it actually tasted pretty good. There was the mix of sweet and hot you'd expect from a good version of the dish.
Otherwise, the prices are high. In terms of the place itself, it is odd. It's a weird mix of Chinese, Thai, and American Diner food (with some ice cream to boot[go to Van Dyck's instead].) It's an odd experience to say the least.
I've been here a few times and it's always been up to par everytime. This restaurant is a mix of Asian/American food with choices such as sushi, fried rice, noodles, dumplings, burgers, fries, etc. It has great ambiance and has two floors to house guests. They also offer homemade desserts and ice cream which is always something worth trying.
My husband I shared a few dishes. We first ordered the Roti Cani which was surprising very good. I've had roti from other places before, but I have to say this place makes it the best. The curry sauce it comes with had a good consistency to it with the right amount of spices without overpowering it with flavor. The dough (whatever you really call roti) came out nice and hot with very soft, exactly how it should be made!
We then ordered the Young Chow Fried Rice and the Musaman (I think that's the spelling) curry chicken. Both dishes were more than enough to share between two people, with plenty of leftovers. The young chow fried rice was good with a mixture of vegetables and what I believe is beef. The beef was a little dry but overall the dish was good. The curry chicken was my favorite. The chicken was steamed perfectly and the curry sauce (which has peanuts..for you with allergies this is not a good dish!) finish on top was delicious. The curry chicken also came with string beans. The only downside to the curry chicken was that it was a bit salty for my taste. Otherwise, both dishes are great for sharing.
We ordered dessert of 2 scoops of homemade ice cream (mint chocolate chip & espresso coffee). Mint chocolate was delicious (but it's also my favorite flavor so I could be biased) and I wasn't a huge fan of the espresso coffee. I've had espresso coffee ice cream at other places and I'd have to be honest that I've tasted better
The service was good overall. The staff was friendly and attentive to the customers needs.
I would recommend this place for someone looking for a mixture of different types of food to try. This is also a good family restaurant.
