We took a chance on a new spot for us, and were happy we did! The portions were large, fresh and super hot, and the prices were lower than downtown. My meal was a delight.

Came here for a group field trip for dinner and had an excellent meal here. Service here was quick and easy and prices seem reasonable compared to other Asian places that Ive been to. Our food we all enjoyed are meals and we really liked the overall presentation of them, especially the meals with eggs.
