My relatives came all the way from Taiwan, and I brought them here for a special meal — and wow, what a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone left full and happy. It truly made me feel proud to share this place with them. The service was amazing — our server was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive the whole time. We felt genuinely welcomed. The only small issue was that parking was a bit of a walk, but honestly, the overall experience more than made up for it. Highly recommend!

This place is always bustling, and now I understand why! The setup of their counter is so neat and organized—it makes the whole experience feel seamless. The food? Absolutely amazing! It was just me and my husband, but that didn’t stop us from going all out and ordering a full seven-course meal. No regrets! Every single dish was packed with flavor, and we enjoyed every bite. My absolute favorite was the cucumber salad—so refreshing and perfectly seasoned. If you’re looking for a great meal in a lively atmosphere, this is definitely the place to be! Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.
The lamb paomo was rich in flavor — tender lamb with no gamy taste and a generous portion. The lamb skewers were excellent, with juicy, flavorful meat cooked to perfection. The oil-splashed noodles were delightfully chewy and had a great texture. The grilled fish was slightly on the fishy side, but overall, this restaurant is a solid choice with authentic flavors and satisfying dishes.
We chose to visit this place after seeing the ratings on Google review. However, I found the place quite unhygienic from the cleanliness factor. The plates were quite dirty. You need to order it through their scanner however you would also need to pay at the counter so basically you get your food at the table that's all. Rest you need to take your water and other stuff.
