This lady is very sweet very good taste food is always great. It’s a busy place. If you have no time to get in line that you should probably go somewhere else or cook your own meal. There was this lady a few weeks ago arguing that the line was too big, but that must be something good. Their food their taste it’s awesome. I’m gonna go back and take pictures because they have actually earned it. never had a problem with my dishes and yes, it does get busy because it’s really good. I love the Mongolian chicken. The shrimps teriyaki chicken and price is pretty affordable compared to other places. Plus she does give you a lot. It will be going back and posting pictures. I love this place so that’s my friend and other people I know.
