Lava Java West

The herbal tea and mezza were delicious. I eat sushi, and ordered two appetizers, some of the menu items have a mix of ingredients that seem gross. I have no idea where the spiciness is coming from. Too many sub and burger options which make the rest of the menu unbalanced. The variety from different subcultures of food make it seem difficult to appeal for one taste. Prices are very unorganized. While trying to enjoy the soggy nacho, the phone kept ringing very loudly. Hostess/host needs to have their office within the kitchen. They removed the curtains which I loved a lot. It gave privacy and some sort of barrier from all the hookah smokers. The TV entertainment is ugly and doesn't fit with the sitting booths. Maybe it would be better if the table and chairs were used more, the entire room would be more inviting.

Manager didn't want to clean a booth off for us when it literally only took the server 30 seconds to do so... took 20 minutes to get a shake... entree came b4 sushi so canceled sushi because they were so understaffed which I fully understand so getting orders going is hard... I told the server to cancel my sushi she talked to the manager and the manager literally gave me an attitude and a hard time Because of that... I told her I expected my appetizer 1st not entree so I'll just finish my entree and she was just so rude... thank u to the server though she was sweet

Great for groups; would definitely return. We looked for an outside patio for a family event with 50 folks from ages 1 to 80. (Of course, no hookah as there were children.) So grateful I found lava lounge. They opened early for our group. The food was delicious and the service friendly and impeccable. I have to comment on how wonderful the people were to work with, from Chrystal and Lena to Chef and wait staff. They were so kind and went out of their way to make sure that every facet of the event was perfect. I would hold an event there again in a heartbeat!
