Reviews
- miniature_pineWent here for lunch on a weekday and honestly the vibe was really nice — wooden tables and chairs with warm lighting, super cozy. Ordered the stir-fried pork with peppers and the tripe with pickled radish, both tasted really authentic and the spice level was just right, like a mild kick. Food came out fast too, and the staff kept refilling our water without us even asking, which was a nice touch. The dining room is pretty spacious with enough space between tables so it didn't feel cramped eating with coworkers. Parking was easy too, found a spot nearby. Overall a super smooth experience, I'd definitely come back.
