Reviews
- Kai_20This place is super close to the subway station, literally couldn't be easier to find. Walked in and the whole spot was clean and bright, sat upstairs and it wasn't cramped at all, grabbed a window seat and the lighting was really nice. The portions are huge and the prices are honestly so reasonable. The lotus root soup and the shredded potato were both seriously good. Staff was super friendly too, they actually took the time to recommend some of their specialty dishes which was a nice touch. And the fruit plate? Super fresh, everything was great. Honestly for the price this place is a steal, perfect if you're a student looking for somewhere cheap but still tasty. I'd definitely come back.
