It is a casual place for dining. Even though we were the only ones at the restaurant, the service was slow. The fried pork was good but other food items were ok. They have birds in one corner so it was pretty cool. It is probably a good place for pick up orders as I saw several people picking up the food.

Very good food and staff was so nice and sweet. Women’s bathroom was also very clean which I appreciate a lot - as I will not dine anywhere bathrooms are dirty refrigerator how good food is
