Everything was outstanding! We had a great table, a super nice server, and amazing food. The standouts were the beef jerky, the tapioca dumplings, and the BBQ chicken. For cocktails, highly recommend the Bean There Done That—it has White Russian vibes but with tea and condensed milk. 10/10, would eat there again.

Always dependable and delcious, I sometimes find the choices a little limiting though - it needs a little more variety - I have been at least 6 times over last 3 years and starting to find it hard to find new items. But what they do serve is excellent, so if you've never been you will be blown away. Drunken noodles are a highlight for sure as is the pineapple etc. fried rice and all the curry's, but be warned all on spicy side so if you want mild - ask!

Food was good. Was informed when we arrived at 5:45 for our reservation that there was a follow-up reservation at 7:30. I literally hate that: 1. I just got here.

Which brings me to my last point: The service was so so so so so slow. Food came in reasonably good time after it was ordered,...
