Triquest Cafe

Convenient spot for lunch as my office is within 2 minute walking distance. Tried their Monday chicken cheese steak combo. It had good amount of cheese, onions and peppers. It came with fries and a drink with pickle on the side. It was pretty good. Service can be slow during lunch hour so may be good to call in order ahead of time.

I love this café for what it is. A small Korean owned joint where you can get a burger, grilled cheese or sandwich in addition to yummy Korean comfort food like Bulgogi, Short Ribs, Spicy Pork and sometime Ramen too! The only thing I don’t recommend are the salads as they’re simple and I like CP K style salads. Everything else is on point.

This review is based on multiple visits. This place is across the street from my work and I had no idea it was there because it is tucked away in a business park until a colleague told me about it.
I have had the pastrami sandwich with fries and the Kale Salad on different occasions. The pastrami sandwich comes with grilled pastrami served with cheese and it is pretty good. The Kale Salad is served with Kale, warm grilled chicken, avocado, feta cheese and dried cranberries. The pastrami combo cost me $ 11 and the fries were served cold. The Kale Salad with a soda is $ 8 and change. A similar salad and soda at Tender Greens will run you about $ 15.
This place gets packed at lunch so I recommend for you to call and order ahead if you know you are going to eat here. Lining up at lunch time could take 30 minutes to get your food. 3.5 stars!

I would say that this is one of my regular lunch spots during the week. It’s pretty nice. The food’s good, the staff is fairly friendly and the ambiance is very french/​jazz like.
I will say that if you’re planning on stopping by here, come before the lunch rush. It’s a little slower paced and relaxing. Once lunch time comes, it’s pouring with people and the service gets really slow.

Beware on 12÷30÷15 I ate a Chinese chicken salad from here around 2pm. It was the only thing I ate that day. Come 5 o’clock I had bad cold sweats, and by 7 o’clock I was vomiting all night until about 3 in the morning.

I have been three times to get the Italian Sub every time. For $ 6+ dollars, I am satisfied and happy until dinner.

The food is decent & reasonably priced. Hamburgers are not greasy and fries are good too. Other specials are decent also.
The 3-​star review reflects smoothie that is simple yet over-​priced at $ 4.99. I’ll skip the smoothie next time.

Food is fine. Stuff are nice.
Service is too slow. The wait is too long even if there aren’t many customers.
Very hot inside and you can smell the sweat.

The food is usually really good and hot, with good customer service and the service can be slow at times. Today however it took over an hour to get a panini and the place wasn’t even crowded. They’re lucky that this place is close and their food is okay otherwise I wouldn’t be eating here again!

I eat here every week. Daily specials keep the menu fresh. Have never tried anything I didn’t like.

Please note the 4 star is only for the customer service… for now. The woman who assisted me at the front was super sweet. I ordered a turkey burger and she let me know it would be a little longer. That was fine. It actually was prepared a lot quicker than I expected and almost asked her if it was fully cooked (jokingly). Not knowing if she’d get my humor or lack thereof I left. To my dismay the burger was some type of pre frozen probably microwaved bendable meat. I had one bite and realized I wouldn’t have another. Of course I quickly called her. I explained my concern. She quickly apologized and asked me to go in so that she could prepare something else for me. She didn’t try to give an explanation, or give excuses she simply wanted to make things right. I love that! I will go back tomorrow and try another dish. :) moral of the story– stay clear of the turkey burger. Oh, and order the fries! I demolished mine.

I was so excited I found this place by my work! The other mom and pop sandwich place in my business park was sandwich plus… and this place was NOT doing it for me.
Their menu looks promising. Ordered the BLT for my first visit and it was just okay. It was more a lettuce and mayo burger if anything.
They also serve Korean food. Mainly meat over rice bowls with salad.
I’m not knocking this place just yet. Will continue to come here to try their other sandwiches.
Oh yeah, they use boar’s head meat! Yum :9

I have yet to actually eat here, but service is great. I have strolled in here with a co-​worker of mine who has ordered different items off the menu and she seems to like the food.
I like that it’s close to work (walking distance) and available when the food truck has left.

Triquest is one of the best places around to grab lunch. It primarily serves the Industrial complexes on Technology, but anyone nearby will be able to grab a good lunch. They have daily specials — both sandwiches and on hot lunches. It’s a good place to grab a nice sandwich or a rice dish. It’s run by Koreans and the lady at the cash is very nice (always smiles!) and her English is good.
I have had all kinds of hot and cold sandwiches and it’s one of the best in the area. I’ve also been to Sandwich Plus, which is pretty good, but I tend to prefer Triquest because there’s lots of room, they take credit, and their variety is better. In terms of sandwiches, I would say this is on par with Sandwhich Plus.
Great for a quick lunch.

It’s advertised here as open at 7am, but apparently that’s not the case. I arrived at 6:45, mostly because I didn’t want to sit in rush hour traffic, but also expecting it to be open at 7. Nope. 8am, said the sign at the door. So I waited in my car. No big deal.
The lady at the counter was really nice. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. I knew I wanted something’s breakfasty, but their omelette, burrito, and panini all had pork in it. I don’t eat piggies. The lady suggested I get the burrito and substitute their boar head turkey for $ 1.00 extra. I did. And boy, was it delicious. The turkey was moist and oh so flavorful. Their salsa was pretty bomb, too. I’d go back. The location is a little strange though.

Convenient little spot for lunch. Seatings indoor and out.
They have specials Monday — Friday. Went there on a Tuesday and got the spicy pork burger. Food was good… but heavy. I love french fries and I like how these are thick cut, but my fries were way too greasy. Burger on the other hand was good, but not good good. I was thinking it was going to be only spicy pork, but it’s spicy pork AND a beef patty. Sounds heavy… and it was. Messy to eat as well because of all the spicy pork juice. Adding thousand island sauce to the burger is also a weird touch.
Despite the greasiness and the heaviness, I’ll still be coming back to try a lot of the stuff on their menu.

Try the daily specials. Just has the fried chicken with rice and it was yummy. And the vegetarian sandwich is killer (and I’m not a vegetarian ;-))
The staff is always friendly. Lucky to work so close to this café.

I love the korean lady who works at the front. It’s just really nice to see hard work and diligence, personified.
As much as I would like to give 5 stars, I have to settle for 4 because they just have too many items on their menu, and, unfortunately, not all of them are good. But what makes them stand out for me is their lunch specials, and I highly recommend their lunch specials, ESPECIALLY their korean food specials.
Ummm isn’t it obvious, a korean lady cooking korean food should be dammm good?
Well it’s true believe it or not. On Friday’s their special is the korean spicy pork, and let me telll you, it’s freaking good. Everytime I eat it at work, people always peep over and ask what I’m eating and where I got it.
I wish the rest of the menu was as good as their lunch special, therefore, 4 stars.

Triquest has totally saved me on many occasions! My colleagues like to go here for a quick bite or just to pick up lunch quickly. You can call it in and they’ll have it ready by the time you get there. The ladies are super nice and everything I’ve had has been great thus far.
I’ve had the reuben, italian sub/​sandwich, chef’s salad, and another kind of salad which I cannot recall the name of.
Korean ladies who pay attention to detail and are super nice. Give them some business and get some good, quick food!

NEW owners, NEW look. Hardwood floors and marble counter top now! It’s still really warm inside (no A/​C?) but it’s more open and much cleaner looking… I complimented the new owners about the renovation and they seemed genuinely proud and happy.
I tried their special today, a chicken breast quesadilla with chips and salsa. HUGE quesadilla slices, lots of chicken in there. Since it was a special, I don’t know that this will be or is a regular item… they are apparently working on revamping the menu too.
Anyway, the quesadilla was pretty good! I would totally get it again — it’s a bit too much food for me but you can always share or split it into two meals I guess!
