Food and service were good.
The spicy fish was ????????????????????????????????????????
Everything was a little too salty for me tho (except for the cabbage)
The name stands up to the food we tasted tonight. Amazing service, great price, clean shop, polite service. Easy A for New England Bay.
Just dropped in because it looked like they had vegetarian options (they did), but was amazed at how delicious (and well-priced) the food was!
Had lunch here with my wife recently and it was a pretty odd experience. There was nothing wrong with the menu, or the service, but the food itself just wasn't for us. Chinese barbecue offers a lot of variety and this place makes sharing food very easy, which was appealing. You can think of this restaurant very much like you would a Spanish tapas place, with small plates and lots of diversity - but unfortunately, they cover all of their skewers in this spice blend that we absolutely hated. We had tofu skewers ($1.50), mushroom skewers ($1.50), chicken skewers ($2) and beef skewers ($2) and while everything was cooked nicely, you couldn't taste much besides that damn spice blend. It completely blew our palates up and that's all we could taste. There are hints of cumin in there but their proprietary blend just ruined our meal. The sesame noodles ($10) were pretty tasty and luckily for us, gave us some relief away from the spice blend-covered skewers and so did their scallion pancakes ($5).
Service was attentive, even providing a bag for my wife's purse so it wouldn't make contact with the floor - which was a nice touch. The decor is nice and overall, the appeal of this place is great. Had it not been for the spice blend, I probably would have rated it higher but honestly it's just not for us.
Very clean place. Nicely decorated. Cute bathroom too. Great atmosphere overall. Thoughtful server and was attentive to us until we got our food then it seemed like she zoned out at the end and we had to wait a while to get our check and get our leftovers packaged up. We had the sweet and sour pork rice plate and wings that were part of a wing deal. The pork was very tough/chewy though, maybe just a very low quality of meat. That was the downfall for us. The wings had a good dry rub seasoning just a bit overpowering with cumin. Menu had a good selection and some fun mocktail drink options
