    I order the fired rice with battered chicken. The rice it self was seasoned well but the chicken was stiff as a rock. It felt like it been sitting out since the opened the restaurant and I ate late at night. Other then that everything else was good

    Arrived early not busy. Seated at table. Order for 3 taken but 2 meals came out together the other one about 5 minutes later. Food was tasty and decent portion size served. Staff were helpful and pleasant. We ordered dessert for 1 but it was taking a long time so I asked when it would coming. Think there was an issue with the table they use or WiFi but the order hadn't gone through. We had to cancel it as we had a train to catch, just one of those things
