“ Authentic. Tasty. Attentive waitresses. Pricing was average. Loaded with obtains in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Also has a grocery section. All the food had great taste, plentiful, and cooked just right. Then they brought out a tray full of small free samples of their rice pudding. It was delicious, the best I have ever had. Friendly customer marketing. ”
