" I can't get over how delicious the food was at House of Milae! The spicy tofu stew has the right amount of kick, and the side dishes kept coming, which I appreciated. The restaurant itself has a warm, homey vibe that was very inviting. However, the service was sincere but a bit slower than I would have liked during rush hour. Regardless, the food makes it all worth it. I'll absolutely visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)
