Balo Kitchen

"This place makes really good fried chicken wings with fish sauce and the chicken and pork & rice is basically a pork belly on rice with pickled mustard green with scallion and ginger oil. The pork belly can be done as classic or crackling (crunchy pork skin) pork belly."

"I know the food is great but they mess up the to go orders. The employee made me feel like she did everything the opposite on purpose because it's a Togo order. I told her very clearly what I wanted to order. Make sure to check your food before leaving. Driving back to returning food is a pain. I keep thinking maybe she had a bad day at work and took it out on random customers. It made me feel really sad. The food isn't just for me. I got the food for other people and this food isn't cheap."

"This place has just not been caring how their to go food comes out. It gets 2 stars cause flavor is above average but man I always have to eat stuff deconstructed. Bahn mi with fork and knife just isn’t it for 20$"

"Only visited once so far but would go back. Ordered online and was ready quickly, 15 min or less around 530-545pm. Food was packed and hot. Got the dan dan ramen level 3 which was both delicious and spicy. Level 4 should satisfy most of the heat-seekers. Also got a side of Laska which was creamy, savory, and overall delicious, added to the ramen or standalone. The small spicy chicken nuggets were great. $10 seemed like it was a bit much, but the portion is actually generous. Place is actually in The Block Foodhall or whatever it's called which I didn't know."

"This is a very cool spot. My 3 stars are more based on the food. The chow fun was just okay, the chicken tasted like cheap chewy meat. The chicken nuggets - same thing. Good spices but consistency and taste of cheap meat. Spring roll was nothing special. The pig frites, that was the highlight for sure. Super delicious. I will definitely go back for that. Tasty pork belly, crispy fries, and I don't know what sauce they put on there but ooommmggg amazing. I think the menu is a hit or miss so I will go back and try other items. The actual building is really cool. Urban modern, with several different places to eat, like a food hall. I really liked that."
