👍👍 Healthy tasting bagels, loved the inclusion of sprouts. Soup was also interesting, the Thai soup tasted like a watery mild curry that's still flavorful. It had a good amount of vegetables - cabbage, carrots, water chestnuts - so great addition to a meal to hit that daily veggie intake amount!

😐 Eh. It is what it is. The bagels are pretty good. Good variety. I've been eating here for decades and weirdly, they have NEVER had friendly staff here. No matter when you go in the past 20+ years, the person behind the counter will always seem mildly annoyed and somewhat surprised that you're ask...

😐 It's small place to dine in. If you are looking for a light thin crust pizza with little cheese, this could meet your needs. Had multiple times due to its location and also like their light crust which is on a thin side with bit crunchy outside. Their speciality is caramelized onions. For vegeta...
