Reviews
- little_coffee_beanStopped by here on a weekday while running some errands nearby, grabbed a set meal. The congee was clearly made fresh, really rich flavor and super warming going down. Also tried the iced congee, which was actually really refreshing, perfect for summer honestly. The beef pancake was crispy with juice inside, paired so well with the congee. Place was clean, tables and chairs all lined up neatly, not too loud. Service was solid, food came out at a decent pace, finished up and headed out without wasting any time. Solid lunch spot if you're in the area!
