Pretty disappointed. They use a digital menu but didn't update that some items are not served... What's the point of using a digital menu???
I had Kapoon and I would say it's okay, not anything particularly good.
A utensil was dirty when served.
In general, it's okay as neighbor's shop, not anything more than that.
