Really wanted to like lacquered, and have been wanting to try it for years. Unfortunately, I may have built up my expectations too high. Ordered the fried chicken and the signature garlic noodle topped with grilled chicken. Although both dishes are passable, but I was looking for much more. Fried chicken was crispy, but the meat under the crispy skin lacks seasoning/flavor. The garlic noodle is a miss, it's more like a soy sauce chow mein than garlic noodle. I expect garlic noodles to be garlicky, savory, and buttery, but it wasn't any of that. All and all, it's a decent meal that you may expect from a neighbor's kitchen.
Everything is amazing, my son loves the crunchy chicken skin and Mac n cheese. I love everything we've had so far and it lasts us 2 days. Diana Vu and her hubby are amazing!
Great Food , Great Customer Service, Friendly Curious Generous the cashier added fries since she could tell it was my first time eating here! Chicken sandwich out of this world. French Fries best fries I've ever had. I also picked up some stuffed cannolis, They look amazing. . Quick, Customer Service Friendly Curious Helpful Staff everything I'd want from a restaurant!
I can’t comment on the regular menu but would not recommend ordering their special Thanksgiving meal. They were extremely unorganized. I placed my order over the phone on 11/15/2021 and spoke with Chef Diana. I gave her a pickup time of 3pm, and she explicitly said that they couldn’t do 3pm, but that we could pick up at 3:15pm. We show up at 3:18pm, and the man at the counter can’t find my order. It was placed under the 5pm time slot for some reason. We were never notified. Very disheartening and would not recommend ordering from here in the future.
Great food and excellent service.
Amazing food-- some of the best in Long Beach!! We ordered about a third of the menu (fried chicken, poutine, garlic noodles with shrimp and veggies, mac and cheese with pork belly, Thai spring rolls, cookies, and chocolate dipped strawberries). Everything was terrific! If I had to pick 2 favorites, I'd choose the garlic noodles and mac and cheese with pork belly. They were super busy but the person working there was friendly and helpful.
This place is not consistent with the schedule of opening and closing make sure to call and verify before going
Second time doing take out fried chicken dinner for a group tonight. Worth the small dose of chaotic (when picking up) to chow this crispy chicken. The Mac and cheese is flavorful, but i think the portion on this side is skimpy. We always order extra chicken so we have cold leftovers, but the sides just don’t keep as well.The noodles and the slaw were especially flavorful. Chocolate chip cookies are pretty cakey - if you like them tall and airy, then this spot is for you.
While food may be good, Service is terribly bad. I hope that lady, whoever she is, the owner or manager, changes her attitude and stop yelling to costumers.
We love this place. Best fried chicken and THEE BEST FRENCH FRIES. Staff is friendly and pleasant.
