Hidden gem downtown! I passed in front of this place sooo many times & never knew what I was missing.

Went for lunch with collegues. We shared 2 starters & 2 meals. Mouth watering chicken, fried chicken with sechuan spices, the beef rice bown & the dandan noodles. Service was quick, everything was great!!

Favorites were the fried chicken & the dandan but you shouldn't sleep on the rice bowl, the crispy rice at the bottom is worth it.

We found this restaurant by chance, & it turned out to be a great surprise. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, & the prices were very reasonable.

The Cold Chicken was our favorite. The flavorful oil sauce was absolutely delicious, & we even poured some over the Clay Pot Rice, which made it even better. The rice was well seasoned, & the crispy layer at the bottom was the perfect finishing touch.

The Fried Pork was also excellent. Instead of the usual soy-based dipping sauce, it came with a seasoned powder that was unique & surprisingly tasty.

Overall, we had a wonderful meal & will definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommended!

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. we ordered right before they closed. The pickup driver was very slow & they waited 40 minutes after closing time to get us our food along with that dedication. They even added extra food with our order that we didn't ask for but it is probably one of the most nice things a restaurant has ever done for us. I would recommend anyone I know to go to this restaurant. The food is delicious. The service is amazing & the atmosphere is great. 10 stars. thank you very much to Daniel & all the staff working at the restaurant. We love you all. Kalel & Naïma.

What a nice unassuming place! The staff are friendly & attentive, & the food is excellent. Dimming the lights a little & some background music might have been nice for atmosphere, but that's a minor complaint. Great find for a delicious meal.
