Reviews
- Zen_29Honestly, this place had a few things going for it. We got a private room and it was super spacious and comfy, simple decor but really clean, and there's a separate bathroom which was a nice bonus. Food was consistently solid across everything we tried — the clay pot fish and the stir-fried beef with chili were both amazing with rice, and you can ask them to dial the spice up or down which is great. Heads up though, weekend nights get pretty packed so definitely book ahead. Parking is free but there's only a handful of spots so you might have to circle a bit at peak times. If you're bringing grandparents or kids, the cold okra salad, dried tofu, and veggie dishes are all mild and the portions are huge. Overall the flavors are on point, service is attentive, and it's a reliable spot nearby when you need a place for a group dinner. Would come back.
