Flat Top Stir-Fry Grill

Flat Top is one of my favorite restaurants. I love being able to pick everything that goes into my Stir-Fry and I love how friendly the staff is. My favorite part about the meal is the flat bread you can ask for. My friends and I usually order about four rounds of flat bread, we just can't get enough!

So tasty and healthy.  You make your own bowl and they grill it up for you! Always good and lots of choices for your stir fry or soup.  They have a full bar too.

My boyfriend is obsessed with this place. I am a little less enthusiastic (though it's still a really solid meal option), so 4 stars.

First of all, the ingredient selection. There's a ton of available fresh veggies and sauces, as well as a pretty good mix of meatless/vegan options. All the veggies and noodles go into one dish, while the meats go into a smaller bowl.

I don't know what it is about the meat section, but I always find it a little off-putting. Maybe it's the often-sticky handle of the chicken ladle, or the fact that mounds of raw meat in a bucket usually don't look that appetizing. (Unless it's sushi. That looks good anywhere.) I don't know what it is. Either way, the meat seems fresh and tasty enough and the sticky handle problem can be solved with a quick trip to the restroom.

Finding a good sauce combination is a bit of a hit-or-miss, since all the sauces seem to have their own very distinctive flavor profiles that can clash if you're not careful. Usually the flavors meld together fine, but once in a while there's a feeling of "oh I really shouldn't have put that horseradish sauce with Korean BBQ."

The roti here is delicious, and I always put a roti "stick" in my bowl. There are about 10 colorful sticks that you can put in your veggie bowl, which tells the chefs any extras you want to put into your stir fry. Some options, like shrimp, cost extra, but most (like eggs, tofu, and roti) are free.

Lesson I learned: sticking 2 roti sticks into your bowl will not get you 2 pieces of roti. Darn. But you can always ask your server for extra roti.

The portions are really generous, especially for the price. I pile up my veggie and meat bowls, and with the eggs, tofu, and roti, usually find myself unable to finish my first bowl. I don't feel terrible about myself afterwards either, since it seems relatively healthy.

I highly recommend one of the appetizers here. I can't recall the name, but it's roti filled with meat and onions, and is served with two different sauces.

Service here is pretty solid--friendly waiters and regular water refills. The one time our server forgot to put in our appetizer order, we got it comped, which we appreciated.

Students get a little bit of a discount (it's either $1 each or 10%, can't remember which), so tell your server!
