Great atmosphere overall (more of a young dark ambient vibe), though the wait was long — over 40 minutes when I arrived around 8 p.m. on a Saturday. The Yelp online waitlist worked, but it felt a bit odd to use.

The food has a very distinct flavor profile — not exactly my taste, but my family really enjoyed the variety of dishes. Personally, I only liked the fried rice and tofu skewers. The food itself isn’t bad at all; it’s just got a very unique flavor style that may not suit everyone.

I liked the digital menu and ordering system — it’s convenient — but the food took quite a while to arrive after placing our order. The staff were kind and attentive, which I appreciated. Seating, however, was not very comfortable; the chairs were light and tended to shift even with small movements.

Absolutely amazing BBQ! The meat was perfectly smoked — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Portions were generous, prices fair, and the atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming.

I ordered 3 dishes and waited for an hour, and they were served one by one. It took a long time to eat.

The service at the front desk was extremely poor. I followed the full procedure and entered my name and phone number into waiting. list, then I went out and waited for a long time without receiving the message. Then I went in to ask, and the guy wearing glasses asked me casually what my name was. After I said it, he went back to look for mine on his iPad. After finding my name, I hurriedly said that I had arrived. At that time, no one was sitting there waiting for a seat, because before I entered my name, there were people sitting there waiting, but when I came in, there was no one there. What a coincidence. Wait until it's my turn when I come in? When I asked why I didn't receive the message to notify me if it was my turn, he arrogantly said that it had been sent. Didn't you see it yourself? Then I took a look and it was received immediately when I asked him. Because I watched him swiping the tablets he named, and he had passed through countless tablets. When I asked if he didn’t receive the message, he received it immediately. Do you think I’m easy to deceive? I've seen it all. Then he explained: Yes, it was your turn just now, so you just received the message. What a coincidence? When the customer is a three-year-old? I've already told you that I saw you using your tablet computer, and you used it several times. Later, when you came to show me your seat, you asked me what my phone number was. Didn't you ask me my name just now? You confirmed me, so it was obvious that you did it on purpose. In the end, you paid the bill and left as soon as you put it down, no matter whether you collected the money or the change. You didn’t even say thank you. If you don’t want to come out to work, just go home. Why do you come out to embarrass yourself? If you don’t have money, don’t be so arrogant. Ah, what kind of money do you want to show off? If you have the guts to ask your parents to support you, you don’t have the ability.

The skewers were not grilled. The fried ones were dry and old. The most unpalatable kebabs I have ever found.

I'm really speechless. For a dish costing more than 100 dollars, I get these lamb chops that are all fat? I guess dogs won’t eat it, right? Also, does the fried rice come with soy sauce for free? I have never been so shocked in my life that fried rice is actually black. I guess this soy sauce is enough for me to eat for a year, and I can only swallow a few skewers of meat... I originally tried it after seeing the recommendation in Xiaohongshu, but the result was so disappointing I’m disappointed, I won’t order it again anyway…

I was trying to dine it and it was not allowed. And I order a soup with lamb and noodles. It is the the worst that I have ever had. I actually asked for salt and pepper and the guy said they don’t have it!!! I know it was because they were going to close it and they didn’t wanna do it! Bad experience, never go back any more.
