Though it's tucked out of the way in a strange strip-mallish without the stores location, don't forget about Osaka. What they lack in atmosphere, they make up for in great food. Sushi is well-priced and delicious, service is quick and friendly. Try the white tuna nigiri and the Osaka roll.

Upon local recommendations had to visit this restaurant. Started with steamed dumplings, and mushroom delight. For my supper ordered Jung Bom seafood noodle soup and Yu-Xiang eggplant with pork. All were top-tier and delicious. Now I can recommend it.

We eat at Bangkok Gardens once a week--sometimes twice. The polite, quick service and downtown location is excellent, the food is terrific, the atmosphere is intimate and cool, and the drinks are varied. Our main favorites are the #6 and #9 vegetarian dishes, the former highlighted by ginger and oyster sauce, the latter by garlic and curry. However, I have eaten my way through the entire menu and have yet to eat something I didn't enjoy (I find the reviews that are less than four stars a bit bizarre; every restaurant has an off-night, but trust us: we've easily made 100+ visits). Prices? I think they're quite reasonable, but consider this: the portion sizes are so healthy, my wife and I always get two meals out of every one, so they're actually more than reasonable. I'd like to pay special tribute to one of their servers, Nathan, who's been with the restaurant for quite awhile and is our favorite of any restaurant in town. In fact, his performance sets a standard the rest of the staff follows. A must if you're in downtown Columbia and like Thai food.
7. Pho Quan Viet Cuisine

I have eaten lunch at Pho Quan Viet on several occasions since I discovered it a year or so ago. and my wife and I have had a take-out meal from them as well. Plus, wife often requests I get some of their spring rolls when she is cooking an Asian dish. The spring rolls are amazing. On this most recent occasion I had a lunch with a fabulous pho, a wonderful banh mi, and 2 spring rolls. The lunch was excellent as usual. The service was good. The wait staff is pleasant and efficient. The prices are modest, and all of my experiences here have been outstanding. They usually are busy at Lunch, so I plan my lunch visits for early, or else closer to 1pm. The location is on the opposite side of town from my residence, but it is well worth the extra travel time for the quality food.

Have been here before and always enjoyed it. But tried double noodles this time and Wow! The dish was amazing. Only wish I simply did vegies or even tofu as I didn't need to add the chicken. It was so flavorful. Probably my best Thai meal this year! And the service was outstanding. Could not have been better and they were relatively busy for a Monday night. And to top it off, not expensive! Highly recommended.

I live in Columbia and go out to dinner almost every night so think that I have a good pulse on the local restaurant scene. Because we dine out so often, we are regularly looking to try something different. I went here once years ago but could not remember much about it so tried it again for dinner last night. That will be my last time there. The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean. The food was just not very good. Reminded me of something you would get in the food court at the mall.

Here for the weekend for an event looking for some local flavor. Quaint little alley restaurant. Was kind of hard to find but once we found the alley the wonders that opened up to us. Sushi was great, warm and inviting atmosphere, drink menu was fresh.
3. Peking Restaurant

Reviewed By Michael H
Peking has been around a long time under the same family. The food is consistently good with popular Chinese dishes and they do have a more "authentic" menu also. If the husband owner is cooking the food is nicely prepared and flavorful. If the wife owner is managing, the service is very good. The restaurant is small but will accommodate a medium size group. Best to order family style and share.

We come here every time we visit and are never disappointed. Jina is a sweetheart and works hard to deliver her fantastic food. The sushi is super...no soy sauce needed ever! The appetizers are fantastic as well. They have some pretty awesome drinks too. Weâve never had anything disappointing here. Locally owned and operated!!!!

Reviewed By Mumzie9196
Seated right away. You grab your bowl & fill it with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, noodles, veggies& anything else you want. Charts with sauce suggestions. The floor is pretty sticky from all the sauces people add. The guys doing the cooking do a really good job cooking everyoneâs dishes. Then they scrape it on your plate & have a very pleasant greeting for you every time. Great place for all ages. Not convenient for RV parking. Always a fun place when we visit Columbia.
