    This was my first time and what a culinary triumph!! Our server Nick walked us through the process and offered us wonderful suggestions that just hit the spot! He was super attentive and very personably. We are locals and walk by regularly. So glad we stopped and will definitely be back! Don't miss this!

    The meat was scraps that other restaurants discard. For example, the "filet" was scraps from the tenderloin cap with lots of sinew. Other cuts were similar with plenty of fat and sinew.

    We had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made it even better. Our waiter, Duy, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend asking for Duy if you visit!

    Great location with many parking options. The menu was immense and I thought the food we got was well worth the price. We took enough food home to make 2 additional meals. The only issue was the service. Our drinks did not come in a timely manner and the waitress had to be reminded. In actuality our reservations were for 2:15 pm which I’m sure is considered off hours and the staff was downsized accordingly. We ordered 2 bowls of steamed rice, which we never got, but really didn’t need it took a while to find our waitress when we wanted our check. I will definitely eat here again during more regular hours to see if the wait staff issues are controlled.

    The meat and dishes were great, overall being served was very stressful with all dishes coming out at once. There was barely any space to make room for new dishes. The used dishes were continually stacked up and just sat there, nothing was taken unless asked to be. Little to no refills on drink.
