Reviews
- valiant_whaleCame here on a Saturday and had to wait about 10 minutes for a small table, which wasn't bad. Once we got in, the staff was super busy — honestly if you don't flag them down they kinda forget to bring tea. The portions aren't huge, but for two people it was just right. Food came out pretty fast and the stir-fried dishes were really tasty. The rice was good too. Grandma's beef was super tender and the seasoning was on point. The vibe is fine for a weekend, just expect a wait. And shoutout to the servers — they were literally running around when it got packed, so props to them. Overall pretty decent value.
