Reviews
- Brooke_21Went for a walk with a friend around this area and ended up stopping for dinner. The place has a really nice vibe — soft lighting, wooden tables and chairs, super cozy for just two people to sit and chat. We ordered the stinky mandarin fish and the fish was so tender, really authentic flavor, went perfectly with rice. Also got the garlic shrimp — the shrimp were huge and had this really unique taste to them. The staff were super friendly, food came out pretty fast, and they even cleared our plates for us without us having to ask. Overall we had a really good time, would totally come back again.
