A great service, delicious food, and everything was packaged perfectly... 10/10... I highly recommend it. The girl at the front desk was super friendly.

Had sweet & sour chicken and I was not disappointed. Reasonable cost, great location and friendly staff. The environment was also clean with a small dining space around tables or bar top.
