Very friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious, my husband had the Gallina soup and my 10 y/o and I had 2 Pupusa each. You were so big, I only ate 1.

"Solid spot but pho portion was small. Even if you dine in, all food drink is served in plastic (same as their to-go containers)."

"I want to like this place as a local family owned business, but unfortunately can't trust their freshness and safety practices.TWICE in the last week I've gotten home with a sandwich only to find green mold on the bread I don't know how long they let things sit around, but they clearly don't monitor this. It was two different kinds of bread, and when I mentioned the first instance the person at the deli gave me a blank look English skills can be a big challenge here, and staff are often busy talking to each other.I also had a situation a few weeks ago where I got beer home, and after noticing a funny taste looked at the bottom of the can and saw it had been canned over a YEAR ago. After that, I've gone in a few times, and now check expiration dates on anything before purchasing, and have found packaged cookies and cheese on multiple occasions past their expiration date. Same reaction when I mentioned to the staff: acting like they didn't understand what I was telling them.I tried to give this local family business as many second chances as reasonable, but unfortunately, there's little interest (or ability? to change and improve. I understand higher costs are impacting everyone and throwing out product is bad, but selling past date products is much worse. After today's mold sandwich let's hope I don't get sick...not even bothering going back this time."

"Never disappointed! Cozy and friendly restaurant. Grilled Pork Skewer is my favorite order that I have to repeat to order almost every Saturday. Their monthly special menu is so fancy and delicious! Unfortunately, I do not have a change to take a picture of my favorite food. But wait! I got some photos from other yummy dishes. Godzilla fried rice, Four guy noodles, and pumpkins curry!"

"Clear menu and great service. Very clear on if we wanted boba pearls or not. Ordered two matcha teas with boba pearls. They came out in less than 3 minutes. Very good the matcha was smooth and not too bitter or sweet! The flavor and texture of the boba pearls was perfect,l."
