Reviews
- classic_primroseThe vibe: honestly the place looked really nice, way nicer than I expected. The food: the shredded pork in fish fragrance sauce was pretty mid, kind of bland and not great texture. But the potato shrimp dish was actually really good, just the potato slices were cut way too thick. The pork blood stew was solid, tons of different stuff in it which I loved. The corn cakes were amazing, super corny flavor, definitely order those. The tofu pudding was the worst thing I've eaten in a while, just no. Oh and the veggie plate — they put it in front of my friend and we were eating and she pulled out this long hair and thought it was hers but nope, it was definitely from the kitchen. Big yikes. They ended up comping the corn cakes which was nice. Price: super affordable, nothing was expensive at all. Would probably come back just for the corn cakes and the shrimp.
