Reviews
- sincere_sageDecided to swing by this place on a whim and honestly didn't expect it to be packed. We got the braised mixed fish with the handmade fried dough sticks — those sticks are huge, super crispy outside and fluffy inside, and they soak up all the sauce which makes them crazy good. The sea intestine rice was also really solid, fresh ingredients and not greasy at all. The staff were super friendly too, they brought out some red dates and tea on the house which was a nice touch. Overall the flavors are pretty homey, perfect spot to hang out with friends. Left feeling really comfortable and satisfied.
