Reviews
Service was great and had nice ambiance. Would definitely go again.
The weekday lunch special is another standout. It’s a rare find these days: pre-pandemic pricing paired with post-pandemic quality. Affordable, generous, and prepared with the same care as the dinner menu.
TNR doesn’t just serve great food—it restores your faith in what familiar comfort dishes can be when done with passion and commitment to excellence.
Edit: came here again and really enjoyed. Shoutout to Aivin who is super cool and intelligent. We were a big party and didn’t wait for long to get all our food.
Warning: if you foresee leaving here late at night (after 10pm), please don’t park in the parking garage behind the restaurant because they will close the door after 10.
I don’t have a problem with onion, but my wife does, that’s why I did the request and it was blatantly ignored. The flavor was good (for me), but not a good experience for my wife. If there are dishes that you can’t take the onion out, let me know in advance and I can order something else, but don’t promise something that you are not going to fulfill.
Edit: We messaged TNR café on Instagram and they offered a $50 gift card. We then decided to actually go to the restaurant and dine-in. Amazing experience! The place is beautiful and the food delicious (this time, no onion to be seen!). We got the General Tso Chicken again, Soup dumplings and some curry-based noodles. We also ordered some beers and wine (happy hour). Service was efficient and servers kind.
If I would have to criticize something, the house white wine offered in the happy hour was not good, but again, it is a happy hour wine. No complaints whatsoever and will definitely come back.
⭐️5/5: beef chow fun: delicious sauce, perfectly velvet beef, long wide chewy rice noodles. I could’ve eaten the whole plate by myself.
⭐️ 5/5: mapo tofu: great tingly spice, silky tofu, fabulous saucy flavor
⭐️ 5/5: eggplant w basil: saucy eggplant was fantastic
⭐️ 5/5: pepper beef: loved all the mushrooms in the sauce

Random notes:
Menu is weirdly designed. Text orientation erratically goes from horizontal to vertical. Made my eyeball twitch.
Bathrooms need more attention. No soap in the men’s room and both had an entire loose roll of toilet paper just haphazardly placed on top of things instead of inside the toilet paper dispenser. Not very sanitary
Only two single stalls for each gender.
Appreciate the extra sink outside the restrooms.
The place is clean and spacious with great ambience. The service is quick and polite.
I recommend the Cucumber Salad and Crispy Chicken. The Shrimp Asparagus is quite tasty too. I’ve felt the Gen Tso chicken to be too sweet but that might be to your liking. There are also Sake options to go along with the food.
5/5 for me.
