" Good food, but the service felt hurried. I had the shrimp fried rice, which was tasty, but the portions could have been bigger for the price. The atmosphere, while cozy, felt a bit cramped. Overall, I'm favorable towards returning because of the authentic flavors I experienced. The food was definitely fresh, just wish the staff had a bit more time to chat! " (*Curated Review*)
