roots

Roots in Princeton has decent food, but the overall experience is fairly average. The service was okay-ish—nothing bad, but not very attentive either. The restaurant itself is quite simple with no extra vibes or ambience. We tried the ramen bowls and Pad Thai, and while they were fine, the flavors felt more blended and muted rather than distinct or bold. It’s an okay spot for a casual meal, but nothing really stood out. Plenty of parking is available as it’s in the strip mall complex.

Kai and Jessica were amazing. They were incredibly warm and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of from the moment we arrived. The food at Roots in Princeton was super delicious.

Overall good food and flavors (though on the lighter side). Taiwanese brisket noodle soup had delicious broth. Pan seared sea scallop was buttery and lived the eggplant and veggies that came along with it - I have had better scallops in the past though. We also tried the mandarin suzette and it was wonderful! Also appreciated the beautiful plating

Roots is a great Asian spot right outside of the heart of Princeton. The ambiance was really nice and all of the food was delicious. We ordered the pork buns, scallion pancakes, filet mignon with purple rice, and Thai basil chicken over rice. Although the appetizers were small, the pork buns were some of the best I've ever had! Overall, the food was great (with the exception of volume) and I would come back to try some of their other dishes.

It's unfortunate that I'm leaving a low review for a place that had such amazing food.... I visited this location recently and ordered the drunken noodle dish which is clearly labeled as "vegetarian" on the menu. Unfortunately, I discovered that this dish contains fish sauce. I had an allergic reaction to the food and called the following day to confirm that although the dish is marked "vegetarian" it had "just a little bit of fish sauce" (the staff person confirmed). When I mentioned the menu had the meal incorrectly labeled, I was told that they recommend customers disclose their allergies at the start of an order. I agree with this. However, my reaction wasn't due to a cross contamination error.... My reaction was due to a meal being clearly mislabeled. If you have food allergies, or ab
