This is not your Taco Bell type of food, but if you want fantastic food that you may have never tried before, this is your place. The service was great; the waiter took time to explain the dishes and made recommendations. I brought a large group, and everyone really enjoyed their dinner.

It’s not to much of a lunch rush. The menu is very selective and also it seems like food is just heated up in the back and brought out.

Great lunch spot downtown with reasonable and quality lunch specials, amazing music and atmosphere. I highly recommend planning an hour, trying the salsa trio and either the bulgogi or chicken tacos.
