Lindsey Lund: My go-to is Beau Thai Chicken, but beware of chilis that look like green beans. My other half has had the duck noodle soup a dozen times.
Cory Chimka: 1/2 price beer & wine (incl. bottles!) at happy hour, super family friendly, top notch food & service. 10/10
Kevin Cobb: Order the mango sticky rice for dessert!

checkitout: If you've overdone the salmon bento box and are looking for variety, the thai chicken curry with crisp veggies and brown rice will satisfy your tastebuds.
Byron Johnson: The Tea at Teaism is amazing and varied. Black, Green, and White teas. Asian/India/N.African menu. Great atmosphere with the best classic Jazz tunes playing.
Cheapism: Everyone comes to get the salty oat cookies ($1.95), but the Bento boxes ($8.75) have a little more substance. Of course they have lots of tea iced or hot. They even use tea to flavor their salmon. Read more.
