Diner notes
5 out of 5
I wish I could give this place 100 stars! Even though they were really busy, the staff went out of their way to seat us. One of the workers literally had us sitting down within a minute. The service here is incredibly fast, but what really stands out is how much they genuinely care about their customers. You can tell they’re not just focused on money,they made us feel welcome and even encouraged us to grab as much food as we wanted. The owners are some of the nicest people you’ll meet,They’re friendly, they take the time to talk with you, and really listen ,they even offered us a discount. And the food was absolutely delicious! It was so good I had to go back a second time for more ! The whole staff is amazing, and the atmosphere makes you feel safe! I Highly recommend this place to anyone they have free wontons and free rice ,the owners and staff deserve the best the my respects to them I told the guy ,god bless you and the guy put his hands in prayer position and Amen.

Everything was fantastic! It was our first time, so the woman who greeted us explained that we take two bowls and fill them with ingredients and sauce. We then give the bowls to the cook, and he gives us our cooked food on a plate. Soup, rice, and ice cream are included with dinner, too. My brother paused at the sauce section, and the greeter/cashier came over and helped him, and then helped me too since I was right behind him. The restaurant is in an outdoor mall area and parking at the meters is free after 8pm. It is a super casual spot, and the food and service are excellent.

Good food, generous portions, clean with friendly staff. Might want to ask them to cook it an extra few seconds, but all was safely cooked and tasted great. Ice cream was a nice (free) treat at the end!

Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
