The chicken in my most recent meal was just really burnt and I went a few weeks ago too with an online order and the portions were very small and I was very disappointed in the quality of the food.

Good restaurant, but constantly has burnt chicken. It’s hard to enjoy a bowl that tastes like a fireplace. This has been an issue that i’ve experienced here many times.

Had a chicken bowl with fajita veggies. The chicken was overdone and dry, veggies were barely cooked. And then I'm asked to add a 20% tip.
The bathroom was nasty, might want to consider using a pressure washer to clean. A health inspector might want to take a walk through.

First off, had to wait for veggies for a few minutes while my food sat on the counter and got cold, and the rice was oddly crisp. The door was constantly slamming, making it nearly impossible to actually enjoy my meal (which was difficult to enjoy in the first place). Maybe it’s just an off night, but I don’t think I would come back. I felt rushed through the line and the food was bland to say the least.
