    Our small work group ate outside. Everyone enjoyed the food and the server was top notch. She asked about food allergies as we ordered and made adjustments to the food we ordered to accommodate.

    The ambiance was perfect & the service was excellent. Our group of 7 had time to catch up with each other while savoring our chicken wraps, pork crispies, & eggplant appetizers. The drunken noodles were customized to individual preferences for proteins & extra bokchoys & the chicken peanut curry was a hit 2 ladies in the group ordered this to go for their husbands. Everyone enjoyed their 1st taste of ube ice cream. This is the 2nd group I've entertained here & everyone just raved about it, kudos to the patient & efficient service.
