    Fun choices with tacos and ramen. Like that they just do their thing. Food was good. I don't drink but rumor has it that the drinks were good, too!

    The standard seating was against the back wall which wasn’t the greatest, other seating areas seemed more enjoyable. The egg in the ramen was under cooked and fell apart when I tried to pick it up with the chopsticks. Everything else was a wonderful experience.

    Excellent Tuna tartare for appetizer. We each had two different tacos - mine with shrimp & braised beef were excellent, as were my partner's with champignons and Spicy Nashville chicken. For dessert we tried their Pina Colada ice cream with pineapple, caramel & macadamia nuts - delish!

    We were lucky to grab a table for Mother's Day and enjoyed tacos, margs & ramen on a cold & dreary day. Our server Ashley always appeared just as we were ready to order, as if reading our needs. We had chips (served fresh & still warm) & gauc, tacos of mushrooms & butternut squash & tuna tartar. The girls had two big bowls of ramen. The blend of flavors was rich & unexpected. Definitely elevated food. And the place is so cute! High ceilings and the sense of different vibes (buzzy up front, moody back) despite it being one big open space. In short, we loved it & will absolutely make the 50-min drive from Fort Collins again!

    Food and service were great. Acoustics could be better on the closed- in patio area. It’s hard to have a conversation and quite hard on the ears.

    We've been to Birdhouse a few times now. We love the idea of tiki-themed cocktails with amazing food. I'd love to see a few more actual tiki drinks on the menu or a willingness to make traditional ones. The frozen stuff tastes good but we'd generally prefer to skip completely frozen drinks as they remind us of 7-11. But the food is fabulous and the environment is great. They need to invest in more menus, though, so that the entire table doesn't have to constantly share or try to get a server to bring us one.

    The food was good, mostly worth the largeish price/smallish serving size ratio. The happy hour Birdhouse Flight had great dips with >AMAZING< house-made chips. The service was attentive but a bit chaotic- five different people came to our table in one hour- I've never been served by so many different people throughout one meal lol it was just a little strange... and past happy hour the restaurant got quite loud, making conversation challenging. Overall, still- very cute spot with a nice outdoor area and good food- I'd go back.

    Love this place! So glad to have it in Erie. Great food and service. It's such a good combination of cultures. We have a couple family members with Celiac, and they take great care in managing the gluten free options. My only wish is that they would do a GF churro. :)

    The Birdhouse is my new fave. It's a really interesting place. If someone from Japan, moved to NoCo, became a cowboy, then opened a restaurant, and made tacos, that would be the Birdhouse -- the most unlikely of fusion cuisine. For starters the value is ridiculous. 2 apps, 2 beers, a bowl of Ramen, 3 tacos, 2 deserts = <$100. Secondly, Joe is great. Some of the best service I've ever experienced. Even in a post-COVID world, good customer service is alive and well at the Birdhouse. Now, on to the food... ... simply amazing! I've lived in Japan and can be pretty particular -- I'm not a bougie snob, rather I just know what good Japanese food is. The tempura bok choy in the agebitashi is freaking perfect. There are Japanese restaurants in the Denver metro that cannot even get tempura right. Birdhouse nails it! To anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and order the agebitashi. The kimchi ramen is brilliant. The flavors are spot on. If you were blindfolded and in Japan and had a bowl of Birdhouse ramen in front of you, you couldn't tell the difference between a noodle house there and Birdhouse fare. It's that authentic and good! Tacos are amazing. Part Martha Ortiz and part Rick Bayless. Get one of everything. Kudos to the entire back of the house!

    Birdhouse is our go-to in Erie for good reason. We brought a friend from out of town here on our most recent visit and it was a smash-hit for our guest (as we expected). The food and drink selection is innovative and delicious, in a lively but laid back environment. There's something for everyone on the menu without being overwhelming. The staff is perfectly attentive, especially for how busy it can get in early evenings, and they all clearly take pride in what they do.

    Everything is expensive and not that good. Tries to do too much — street tacos, ramen, and tiki bar? Stick one thing and do it well. This is cultural appropriation done very poorly.

    This was another visit to the Birdhouse which is rapidly becoming our go-to restaurant. The food is great and reasonably priced. We have not ordered from the Japanese side of the menu, only the Mexican as it is so good we just keep going back for the same things. This time there were 5 of us dining with 3 never having been before. They all raved about the food. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco. Yes, sounds strange, but it is so tasty. The other hit was the Flight - guacamole, quest and salsa.

    We have dined at Birdhouse a handful of times and our experience is always top-notch. The service is great and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I can’t say that I’ve dabbled much in the taco side of the menu because I always order ramen. So delicious and a solid selection (the shio ramen is my favorite). We will continue to visit Birdhouse and recommend it to friends, neighbors and family!
