I got garlic spicy “special noodle” with eggplant and green beans. There was about maybe 1/2 a cup of veggies cut very small in the whole dish. Worst part it was super oily. It’s like I was drinking canola oil. I mentioned this when I paid and they didn’t seem to care. Won’t go back there. They also didn’t bother to give us mebues or say anything when we got there. After about ten minutes I motioned to one of them and he pointed to a scanner thing. Then he shrugged his shoulders and gave us an iPad to use. The place itself seemed cleaner although there was constant clanking as they set up one whole table with prepared bowls the whole time while we are sitting there. Not friendly at all in fact the opposite.

Great food, good service. My parents (80 yr) had a difficult time hearing seated at the middle round table but my 8 yr old son loved the lazy susan! We will be back for sure
Parking: We went on Sunday night at 630 and parking was an issue. There is a large lot but no street parking

Food was excellent, customer service was excellent, unfortunately we sat next to two families that were extra loud. Not the restaurants fault but definitely made it uncomfortable to chat at our table.Overall, we recommend this restaurant. Thanks for the great food!

I would give zero star or even negative star if I can.The dish is terrible.We ordered chicken. It is even not thoroughly warm/hot. And it does not taste fresh.And they charge 15% service fee in addition to tips which is ridiculous.Never go there. It’s a terribly run restaurant.

If I could give this place a negative star I would. I ordered from this place earlier this evening. The meal I ordered made me severely Ill. The food is overly greasy and under cooked. The only thing I ordered that didn’t make me sick was a fricking Dr Pepper because it was in a can. Definitely not worth 77 dollars.

We stopped here because it was the only place open when we left the boardwalk. And boy are we glad we did! The food was amazing. The staff were as kind and as helpful as possible. And we left with enough leftovers for another entire meal. Thank you for the perfect ending to our day.

This restaurant stinks I mean it really smells bad. I went in there with my wife for lunch and it took the server about 20 minutes to give us the menus. We ordered one dish cuz we won't really certain how good the food would be there and we also called for rice. They told us you can't share food. While I understand they may have a new share policy we did tell him that we will order another dish if we do like the food cuz it really seemed to be one of those places where you don't want to sit and eat unfortunately we're very hungry. We went ahead and left the restaurant. The waiter came running to our car asking us to come back in people likely refused. If you want poor service, smelly ambience, and servers who don't care about you then this place is a must-have for you.
I loved it ?Thank you!
