Reviews
- Onyx_1Finally got out of the work grind this weekend and came here for a chill meal. The Peking duck was already sliced up when it came out — the skin was super crispy, and honestly dipping it in sugar was amazing. With the cucumber sticks and thin pancakes it was just so satisfying. The place was clean and the retro decor made it feel really cozy. Service was great, food came out fast, and overall I left really happy.
