When I saw the sign go up for a new rotisserie chicken place with a Peruvian twist, I couldn't help but be excited to try something new. So, on opening day, we headed down to try out Wells Branch's newest addition, Inka Chicken. After reviewing the menu, we decided to order just chicken and add on our sides separately becuase neither of us drink soda and just wanted water. ORDERING / 1st APPEARANCES I ordered the 1/4 chicken, white meat with a premium side. He ordered 1/2 a chicken with a regular side. The chicken looked amazing as our server was cutting it up...plump and juicy and the smells were incredible! The pricing for the chicken is very reasonable as well...$3.49 for a 1/4 chicken beats Bill Miller's (BM) price of $4.99....$5.69 if you want white meat. Their 1/2 chicken was right on par at 6.49 same as Miller's. On to the sides... this is where I had my first disappointment. Serving alongside of this mouth-watering chicken were somewhat non-traditional sides. (I say non-traditional becuase I would find it hard to believe that Peruvians eat french fries, mac & cheese, corn on the cob, and pasta salad.) They did offer basmati rice and mashed potatoes which might be more traditional but perhaps not in the style offered. For an additional .75 you could upgrade your side to something more traditional in the Yucca fries or the fried plantains, or something healthier with their fresh salad or vegetable medley. I opted for the vegetable medley since the looks of their salad options were pretty scarce...although I should mention that the veggies were pretty much just "frozen mixed blend" consisting of carrots, green beans, red peppers, and some broccoli. On top of the options for sides being a bit disappointing was the price: $1.89 for a regular side, $2.64 for a premium side. This is about .40 more for a regular portion at the before mentioned BBQ joint....and even there I can get a pint of one of their sides for less than a premium side here at Inka's. Ok, selections made, we went to check out. Doing the math we opted to forgo the combo meal since we didn't want the soda and just get the chicken and side: Combo Route: 1/4 Chicken Combo: $6.49 (1/4 chicken, 1 side, drink) 1/2 Chicken Combo: $9.49 (1/2 chicken, 1 side, drink) Total:16.73 + tax: $18.11 (this includes the extra .75 for my premium side) Our Route: 1/4 Chicken: $3.49 1/2 Chicken: $6.49 Reg side: 1.89 Premium side: 2.64 Total for our order: 14.51+tax: $15.71 Unfortunately, we could not get the kid at the register to understand that we just got the chicken and sides...NOT the combo....so we ended up paying more than we should have. We thought about taking it up with a manager but it was opening day and the kids were new at the registered....they all looked a bit scared and tired at the same time...so we just let it slide...this time. :o) TASTE The chicken was great....very moist and full of flavor. I opted to pull most of the skin of of mine simply for health reasons but I did taste one piece and the seasonings were rich and bold....very enjoyable. They also offer two sauces, hot and mild, which I found amusing becuase I expected them to be similar with just heat variances. However, they are totally different. The hot sauce is not really that hot, but being an native Texan and believing that jalapenos are one of the main food groups, it could just be my preferences. The flavor of this sauce was wonderful...a little spicy and good jalapeno flavor....reminded me a little of salsa without too much tomato. The mild sauce was more of a mustard style sauce that I found good but not as much as the spicy one. The side were as unmemorable as my first thoughts of them....mashed potatoes were pretty plain as they usually are and veggies not having a ton of flavor either. I suppose I should have opted for the yucca fries or the plantains but I tend to stay away from fried foods and I already knew I didn't like fried plantains.... DESERTS I didn't get one but they did have the following available: Tres Leches Key Lime Cheesecake Choc Chipolte Torte Inka's Delight Flan Soft Ice Cream CONCLUSION I think that this place will be great for picking up some tasty chicken via the drive through for a quick dinner at home but probably not much more than that.... I hope that they decide to update their sides just a bit to include more traditional (or at least traditionally prepared) options or at least bring the prices down a bit.... $2.64 is just a bit much for a portion of once-frozen veggies without much flavor. my two cents. (well, I guess more than that since I was overcharged.) hehe

One of our favourite sushi places in the neighbourhood. Sushi servings don't seem to be overly packed with rice and just the right amount. The restaurant is not very big but quaint. If you're on a rush or want good sushi to eat out, just ring them and pick up much easier.

This was a super fun place to eat. The atmosphere was great as the staff was friendly and responsive. You can spend your wait time looking at all the cool pictures hung up on the wall. The food was good =)

So consistent in every aspect. I come in for lunch semi regularly, especially if its a business lunch and want to ensure the service and food will be great. Since moving to Oregon I often find my idea of good service is different than the local standards but Hall Street Grill doesn't ever disappoint. From the greeting at the door, to the suggestions by the servers, to the food selections/preparation and finishing up with the check I'm always more than satisfied. Highly recommended!

Unassuming location and vibe, but the food is fantastic! I've driven past this place countless times and never knew it was here, but was in the mood for Korean and this place popped up in Yelp. Seemed like worth trying. By my verdict? Go. Stop reading and just go. Still here? Okay, this is a small casual dining experience, but you'll go for the food and plan to return for the food. My wife ordered the prime rib bulgogi and I had the spicy beef soup. Both were excellent and I'd happily order either again. The down side? I've lived in the area a few years and just found this place so feel like I may have some making up to do.

Got their prime house special cut.. it did not disappoint! The meat melted like butter in yo mouth and their sides were also nicely season to taste. They also have fresh warm bread upon seating which was also delicious along with the butter that they gave with it. Def was a tasty meal and was not disappointed! tl;dr: the house special steak was delicious + fresh warm bread!
