They let me charge my phone when it died and I got lost wandering around, which was really kind! They also gave me water, and the food other people were ordering looked really good (if my friends hadn’t already been making food at their house, I would have gotten some).

Best chinese resturaunt in the Boston, Charleston area! Right down the road from Encore too.
Highly recommend. Nicest people ever. I showed up late, last minute before they were closing, they offered me a free drink and still even after almost closing everything up, decided to take the time to get me what I wanted. Also offered me a free drink for the road. Couldnt be any happier just meeting the people in here. Small business, but deserves a ton more love. Oc the food...

One the best restaurants I've visited. Outstanding customer service and delicious food. The store environment is very wholesome and the staff are both kind and funny. Most definitely a place to bring the family for dinner and dine-in for lunch with your closest friends. Dining is a MUST and I can't wait to return again.
