PL8, a once-celebrated Asian restaurant, has recently received mixed reviews from patrons. While some diners continue to laud the attentive service and delicious drinks, others lament the decline in food quality and inconsistency. Carryout orders have been problematic, with missing items and subpar dishes becoming common complaints. The atmosphere and service seem to suffer during busy hours, impacting the overall experience. Despite a few positive experiences that highlight attentive staff and flavorful dishes, many long-time customers feel that PL8 is resting on its laurels and urge others to explore alternative options for their Asian dining needs.

We brought an old friend to lunch who is gluten-free and she recommended trying out this place. Our guest enjoyed a gluten-free salad and a tuna tataki dish.

The service at this restaurant is always excellent and the food is delicious. My favorite spot is at the bar where the staff is welcoming and attentive.

At first glance, the restaurant appeared clean and the staff was friendly. We were seated promptly without a reservation. However, the food just didn't meet our expectations.

You had a lot more customers last night, which slowed down both the bar and the kitchen. However, we're glad to see you busy! Tory was happy about it.
