    Service was great, food was delicious and drinks were good too - their menu is fun and while not being 100% authentic, it is still pretty damn good! Their happy hour is also great and so worth it for an early dinner. We will definitely be going back.

    We got there kinda close to their opening and it was empty. We sat at the bar and were treated to amazing food that came out so quick and hot and it was all delicious. 10/10 hospitality and 10/10 food. Immediately became a new favorite place. Thanks guys!

    Sticky floors, wobbly table, lighting not turned on and maybe a slight mismatch on food vs price. Those were the negatives. The restaurant still remains quality and a decently fun atmosphere. I'd just rather not spend $19 for brisket rice and have my shoes sticking to the floor. I'll probably be back, but not anytime soon.
