The food was delicious. We stopped by for a quick lunch which was outstanding. My family got the ramen soups which were amazing. The shrimp my favorite dish with the perfect amount of sauce almost like dynamite shrimp. Totally recommend this place. You should probably have a reservation since it gets packed later on into the day.

Food was excellent. Ceiling vents, lamps and walls were covered in layers of grease mold. One waiter was excellent, but our waiter often left us for long periods. We had to hunt down people for glasses of water, napkins, and at the end they forgot we were in the restaurant and were surprised to find us still waiting for our bill. We had to remind them desert was included. So A on food, C+ on service, B on cleanliness.
