Not busy. Quick service. Simple menu. Chicken was good tasty and crispy. Sauces are flavorful. Rice was cooked well too.Their food certainly lived up to this restaurants name! (Would've been crazy if not).They have more than just simple chicken and rice on their menu actually so I kinda wanna come back more and try out everything. Yay seemed decently fairly priced too I think.
I love the chicken and rice here, and feel awful because…I hate that during Dine In, it’s so wasteful. Everything is served in the same to go containers, and their recycling and compost were mixed with landfill and the staff did not understand that you can’t recycle full containers or sauce :( (also, why give 3 containers of sauce instead of just putting on a plate or a tiny bowl?)

Crispy Gai had an oily, slightly crunchy crust; the accompanying chicken schmaltz rice however was fragrant and flavorful. Mala Dan Dan sauce was far from what is advertised. Virtually no numbing sensation, just hoisin sauce mixed with trace amounts of a nut paste and a little chilli spice.
