my platter was fine. I got a shrimp, chicken and beef platter but ordered mixed veggies instead; I’m assuming the platters normally comes with rice . The meat was good, the veggies were cooked perfect but I didn’t like that there were diced onions mixed with the peas carrots & corn (in addition to the grilled peppers and onions). The grilled onions and peppers were fine but didn’t like the extra diced onions. I’d definitely go back, just would probably stick to whatever normally comes with the platter (unless they offer grilled veggies instead of the peas/carrots/corn/diced onions)platter was made in timely manner (less than ten minutes) despite them being pretty busy when I went (around 2pm), the girl who took my order was nice.

Went to this restaurant because of reviews. I hate to say it, the food was not good, and the service was slow and the same woman taking orders and ringing up the sale, also packaged up the to go orders, making this a 25 minute endeavor which could have taken 15 minutes. She used the same gloves to ring up the food on the register, as she did to handle and serve food, like the tasteless rice, never once changing her gloves when handling food. But most importantly, the food was not good. The beef ribs were tough and so was the steak. The prices were cheap for the fare, as they should be for such bad food

The appearance may not be all of that, but this is the first time I have eaten the green peas in my rice. Best to get a menu and call in order. Cash only payment!Parking: Either wait inside or have a someone with you.

First couple of times I went there food was good. The third time extreme case of dia**hea.....no need to be vulgar. Got the chicken and shrimp, I believe chicken was undercooked and a lot of the fat part of chicken made it on to my food, as of right now and the way I feel, I will not be coming back. Haven't felt this bad since early 2000s and both times and this time it was asian hood restaurants.
