Daisy Ansanuss Had a great South Indian lunch at Kuppanna in Plano. The Kuzhambu Kalakki was rich and comforting. The mutton biryani made with fragrant jeera samba rice was flavorful and aromatic, served with excellent raita and chicken gravy. The Chicken Pallipalayam with kuska was a standout—tender chicken, fresh coconut, and authentic flavors. Finished with refreshing nannari sarbath. Overall, tasty food and a pleasant dining experience. Would definitely visit again!

Cocktail Mama Firebirds is a great place to hang out with friends. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, perfect for happy hour. Their happy hour menu is very extensive. I tried their Double Black Diamond® Martini (a must!), Perfect Margarita, and Moscow Mule—all amazing. The food was just as good: Prime Rib Sliders, crispy Fired Up Shrimp, spicy Chicken Chile Nachos, and perfectly cooked Steak Tacos. Everything tasted incredible. On top of that, the staff was super nice and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for great food, drinks, and good times with friends

Mahya Sahragard I was so amazed by their staff. our waitress was amazing. you cant go wrong with the food so fresh and delicious. I loved chicken broth which they serve it in the cup so cute and tasty. I really enjoyed environment. I will stop by again. Thank you for the best service and food ❤️

JS Had an amazing birthday celebration at Haywire. I’d heard so many great things about this place, and it did not disappoint. The food was great overall, though I didn’t enjoy their ceviche and wouldn’t order it again. The steaks were excellent, and they had tasty mocktails. That said, the best part of the experience was the ambiance and the service. Our waitress was so nice and very helpful. They even surprised me with a delicious bread pudding for my birthday. I would definitely go back!

Anthony Great service and amazing atmosphere. Just don’t make the mistake of ordering a lobster roll at a sports bar. Came out takings like a tuna salad sandwich haha. The pot roast was really good though as well as the nachos. One of my favorite places to watch a game.

Laura Roldan Food was delicious!!! I had to try my boyfriend’s chicken and everything was great as well as the cocktails they have a lot of variety and you can never go wrong with a shot!!

Cat Poole Our dinner at Hanakin was such a great experience! Food was delicious, loved the atmosphere, and the happy hour was a great deal. Portions are smaller but the higher price point is worth it for the quality.

sahithi t Had a fantastic lunch here, every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. Loved the cozy lighting and warm ambiance that made it so inviting. Service was friendly, attentive, and spot-on from start to finish. It’s a perfect spot not just for lunch, but ideal for romantic date nights too!

Daisy Soto I found this place on the hunt for a new coffee shop to try. I live in Dallas but was in Plano . For 1 I was so HAPPY there was a Drive-Thru!! Found this GEM ! I did a Decaf Biscoff Latte and it was THE BEST BISCOFF LATTE IVE EVER HAD and I have tried many coffee shops with this flavor. It’s so SPOT ON, like you’re dipping the cookie in coffee all in one sip ❤️ For food I got the Fiesta. The egg is so fluffy, the pico and avocado make it fresh and flavorful! SO GOOD !!! Definitely coming back to try more!!

Lys The owner/chef greeted us and let us pick our seats. The server was super sweet too. This was the best pasta I’ve ever had. I got the seafood linguine but substituted the noodles for their gluten free penne (penne only gf option at the time) which didn’t disappoint! The chef/ owner was super awesome for making our daughter a custom pizza for her she loved it! The pizza and the pasta were delicious! Thank you. We will definitely be back from the Arlington Texas area.

Bailee Baird I was looking for a great sushi place for dinner tonight and I remembered the Kauboi opened last year and I was really excited to try it. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly the atmosphere was beautiful. The style is more focused on Japanese bbq but the sushi was impeccable! I have never had a mango roll so fresh in my life the only thing I can compare it to was eating mango in Hawaii! If you like tuna towers they have a great tower it was very delicious. The miso soup was another favorite similar to many miso soups I’ve had but somehow even better flavor with thinly sliced onions. And last, but not least we ordered the spicy garlic edamame. Emphasis on SPICY! I loved it! Overall a great experience and I’m excited to come back!

Yoona Julia Jeong We truly enjoyed the food, attentive service, and lovely ambiance. Our family gathering—celebrating our niece’s birthday and my brother’s wedding anniversary—was absolutely perfect. Thank you for making the evening so special!

Ms Brenda This was our first time visit to Mangia Bistro and we were impressed! For starters, we were greeted promptly, warmly, and started us w bread accompanied by an oil and garlic dip; soft and light. The calamari was lightly breaded and fried to perfection. It came w a salad of cucumbers, lettuce, and pickled peppers. My son was given special attention. He ordered a chicken Alfredo that was to die for. The sauce was delicious. We also ordered the chicken pizza which was a nice size for 2. The blend of sauces and cheese were amazing. Chicken pizza like no other. All the food tasted as if made to order and not pre-made. The ambiance was relaxing, the service was warmly inviting. A future visit is most definitely warranted.

Harrison Speegle Chong Takoyaki and kaarage were solid! The curry, when we chose spicy, wasnt spicy at all and just had an overpowering chilli paste(?) taste that over powdered the curry. I would come back to try the mild or medium. Katsu was solid as well Service was a bit slow and it was a weekday evening with empty tables. Wish they had a button to call. They filled waters often in the beginning but just disappeared after food came out. Vibes were good and if Japanese people are eating here, you know its authentic!

Christopher Wise I hadn’t ever been The Taco Joint and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was really quick, excellent chips and salsa and the food was very fresh. And if you want they do serve beer and wine which is an added plus. Definitely be back and worth the visit.
