I had a dish that was recommended as a favorite but it was just ok. The white rice was absolute mush, I barely ate it. I know sticky rice is a thing but it was beyond that. The restaurant was more of a bar than a restaurant which is fine I just thought I'd mention that. That being said no beer on draft for such a full bar was odd. Service was a bit slow for it not being busy at the time but it wasn't terrible and the staff was polite. There was a patron at the bar that was yelling obscenities at the game playing so that wasn't lending well to the atmosphere. Obviously that's not the employees fault but it would have been nice if he was cut off, obviously drunk, or told to keep it down? Idk. Overall I wasn't impressed by the food and I had the most unimpressive old fashioned I've ever had in my life. Wouldn't go again but glad we tried it.

The good: service was awesome! Nice servers and quick service. Pretty lights and a “local dive bar” atmosphere. Prices on food and beer were decent. The not good: They charge you 4% to use a credit card!! This infuriated me. I expect that at gas stations and dollar stores if under $5 or $10, but I’ve never seen that at a restaurant NOR on a $50 bill! Inflation is already jacking us all up (yes, even restaurant owners, but there are different ways to deal). This soured things. The things to consider: the food was good! And big portions! Although there was a taste in my samurai bowl that reminded me of my sponge when it’s time to be thrown away. My husband’s sesame chicken was awesome though! Also, I’m not sure if they’re redecorating or what, but there were space heaters, TVs on the floor, and one visible side room that was being used as storage and seating. It was weird. I appreciated the heat on this cooler day but it felt like they were in the middle of some projects or ran out of storage.
