if i could id give 0 stars. we ordered through door dash and didn’t receive half of our order or cutlery. the bag was not tampered with at all so i know this is fully on the workers. i tried calling the next morning and they said they would look at the order and see about a refund, i called again the following day for an update and they told me to just call again the next day. i called the next day (it was a monday) to no one wanting to answer the phone, since then no refund or answer of my phone calls ive made at different times of the day trying to give them the benefit of the doubt if they were busy. it’s been days. if you’re gonna order here, good luck.

The person in charge behind the counter made a snide remark after asking for a simple bill/payment related service and seemed in haste. The food tasted good for the price, but the service, staffing, and atmosphere can definitely be improved. It's not always about the food ! Service and atmosphere contributes to the overall experience as well !

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but the staff here wouldn’t allow us to use the restroom when we *really* needed the access — it felt like the host was being intentionally difficult. Each person in our group was a paying customer.

0 stars if I could. Walked in to an EMPTY restaurant. Every. Single. Table. Was dirty. Figured it would be some college kids working... no... 3 full grown adults sitting on their phones. Started ordering an immediately regretted it. The food looked very old. After ordering and paying for our meal we were scared to eat the food due to the condition of the restaurant and what the prep looked like. Ended up getting another supper. Would not go here EVER again. Eat at your own risk. Seriously.
