Reviews
- ebony_raccoonThat little vintage car parked out front is such a cute touch, super unique vibe right when you walk up. And honestly? The food totally lived up to the look. The braised pork belly was so good, super rich and melt-in-your-mouth, and the fried river shrimp were perfectly crispy, nice and savory. Both dishes tasted really authentic, not like the watered-down versions you sometimes get. Would definitely come back just for those two alone.
