    Food is excellent, best BBQ in OC hands down. The space is cool too, mostly outdoor seating with kid friendly things to do. The main feedback is - ive been during summer for lunch - shade quickly runs out so it gets quite uncomfortable eating hot bbq while also roasting under the sun. Only some of the areas of seating have shade. So - more shaded seating would be greatly appreciated. The vibe is excellent tho but that would be the reason for 3 stars on atmosphere.

    We loved the new BBQ Brisket Noodle Soup. Broth was excellent; meat tender; veggies and noodles perfect. Large enough for two with leftovers. Thank you for being so close by.

    My favorites are the siu yuk, brisket, corn bread, and dirty rice. Service is always awesome and friendly. Greta place for groups and kids to run around. Hot tips: order online, weekday happy hour!, weekends park on on the backside, don't wear a white shirt.
