    Our service was a bit behind compared to other times we have been there. Waiter forgot our soups completely and not all our ordered meats came out. When we got our s’mores, he didn’t even remove the grill grate until we are almost done.

    Food was great, but the place was not very clean at all. Dried rice and food at the edge of the table near the wall, counters separating the tables were full of dust and the condiment bottles were grimy.

    Food was great, service was slower than usual. Although it was a Friday, it took 25 minutes for us to get a glass of water, and 45min for us to get 1 appetizer. Never changed out our grill, and really slow to get the next order out. Food was good! Just wish that the service could’ve been better.
