Reviews
- round_celery_seedSo my friend and I were wandering around the neighborhood and just popped in for a bite, and honestly the portions were crazy generous — the two of us could barely finish what we ordered!! The vibe inside is really nice too, like wooden tables and chairs with these warm yellow lights, super cozy. The food tasted legit, the preserved vegetable pork belly and the sour-fried alfalfa were both amazing with rice. Staff were really sweet, kept refilling our water without us even asking. All in all a really happy meal, definitely coming back next time.
