I really wish I could give a good review. Boonie was so nice. I ordered the scallop spicy fried rice, with chicken and tofu. My total was $14.80 which was surprising, but I went with it. I asked boonie if the scallops were good and she said oh yes. The scallops are really really good. So I had to get them. Well, boonie handed me my meal and wished me a good evening. I took the food down the street home and dug in. When I opened the contained I immediately noticed that the tofu was not seared, and was just mushy floppy bits. The scallops werent very fresh tasting and were super gritty. The tofu was very mushy, and the bell pepper was nearly raw. The rice was also quite mushy and seemed overcooked and didnt have any noticeable flavor even though I ordered the dish with medium heat. The chicken was really tough and didnt taste very good either. The basil leaf that is supposed to have a slightly sweet taste, tasted like nothing at all. I am really disappointed in this dinner. I dont often go back to restaurants and ask for my money back. And this wouldve been one of the times that I would do that. But like I said, boonie was super nice and i didnt want her to feel bad. I wish I could leave a better review. But if youre a restaurant, and you serve me that kind of food, you get a 1 star.

I stopped by with friends, and I was so enchanted with this little business. They are absolutely delightful. Very attentive and customer oriented small family owned business. The vibe was like eating at grandma's house, it as so cozy and so warm and welcoming!A sweet little old lady got our orders, and let me tell you, not once took a note from anyone, but knew exactly who ordered what! And I mean, not just our table of 6 ppl, but the rest too. It was so heart warming to see family members buzz around constantly, making sure everyone was happy, refilling glasses before we knew we needed it, so truly top notch and very customer oriented.Great location too, right on the corner, plenty parking, good amount of space inside, and fabulous food.I had the Combination Fried Rice, we had several soups, curry, everyone was rolling their eyes. Stellar performance on all levels ?❤️??✨✨✨✨✨
