Not to shabby, food was tasty but some oversight on ingredients, service was excellent, and unfortunately noisy for this establishment.

The food was amazing and very delicious. I had the pork ribs and it was very good. The service was a bit lacking, my entree came with rice and the waiter forgot it. There was a little awkwardness when I was asked a few times if I needed something else, so I just explicitly asked for the bill. Again I stress the food was excellent I will be coming again.
