A lively, cheerful spot tucked into a big downstairs space, where the energy is always buzzing. Dishes come out on large sharing plates, set on lazy Susans so everyone can dig in together - it feels social right away. The food strikes a nice balance: authentic flavors mixed with familiar crowd-pleasers, all done really well. It's the kind of place where you can keep it simple with a solid beer or wine, or go fun with a canned pina colada.
Very cozy atmosphere, amazing staff, & amazing food. Service was very quick great for people needing a quick bite. The green bean dish was my favorite it had a perfect crunch to it & the hot sour soup was very warming.
Great food! Lots of flavour & authentic. Lots of garlic & sauteed goodness, major downside is that they make you give them a 5 star review to get their deal on a free Coke. Attention to service is average at best. Quoting the server'give us five star review'. Some of the dishes had too much ginger if you're not into that but the fried shrimp was excellent 👌🏽
