“ I got the Mushroom Drunken Udon and it was delicious. I debated adding a protein but it was pretty good even without it. They have some outdoor seating while the weather is still nice. ”
“ First time trying this place. It is a small pretty place. Decor inside is super nice and organic. The brothers, Steve and Al where super nice and welcoming. I had the Shrimp & Mac and Cheese dumplings, the shrimp was incredible. The Mac were missing but I’m sure they’re amazing! I also had the Spicy Thai Basil Fried Rice, I asked for the spiciness on the side and added lemon grass chicken, they were also kind enough and gave me their lemon blueberry iced tea on the house, it was so refreshing! I highly recommend this place! I’ll be a local now that I had their food. So yum! ”
“ Wonderful service and atmosphere combined with delicious food! I would recommend this Pinwheel Garden to vegans, as they have many delicious and clearly labeled vegan options. We got the Aloo Gobi Dumplings, Coconut Milk Curry (with rice), and the Lamb on Mashed Potatoes. The Blueberry Iced Tea is also very refreshing, not too sweet at all. ”
“ Absolutely Amazing! Super cute space with an intimate dining setting. Super chill staff in the best kind of way. Great spacing in between dishes. And overall a great vibe. We ordered the macaroni dumplings, Thai chicken and shrimp dumplings, scallion pancakes and Curry Ramen. All were so full of complex flavors that made each bite an experience! We can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! ”
“ Absolutely the best coconut curry I've ever had in my life! Perfectly spicy, incredibly flavorful—just the way it should be. The taste blew me away. Huge compliments to the chefs! I also want to wish you all the best—this cafe is not only beautiful but also serves truly delicious food. Highly recommended ”
“ My brother and I came here before LSC After Dark and I can't stop thinking about the bowl of Trinity Udon I had! The price originally scared me but I'm absolutely glad I ordered it because it's legitimately the best bowl of Udon I've EVER had! If I'm ever in the area again, I know exactly what I'm gonna order again! ”
“ Food was phenomenal and fresh. For 2 it was basically a 100 lunch. But I would definitely come back. It was clean food and a clean facility. Laid back and comfortable atmosphere. It’s not the cheapest chicken but it is REALLY REALLY good. I had curried tofu supreme with added chicken. My son had the short ribs. We did the lunch special with the rice pudding. ”
“ Food was amazing and the staff were very friendly! We got the Mac and cheese dumplings which were unbelievably good. For our entrees, we got the coconut curry and short rib dish - both were absolutely delicious. And make sure you leave room for dessert as well. Will definitely be back! ”
