Food: Decent dishes drown in mediocracy

The BBQ Beef, Marinated Chicken, and Shaved Ice Boba take the culinary spotlight at this joint with their decent flavors. Sadly, they’re dragged under by the overall food experience. Sure, there's an inkling of creativity with the selections, but the taste disappointingly fails to deliver. Overcooked meats, bland flavors, and dubious freshness take a swing at your palate.

  • Very Creative

    Offers many ingredients for creative culinary experimentation and uniqueness.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found the food mediocre, while others enjoyed the good taste.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu selections were okay, but lacked freshness and appealing presentation.

Vibe: Gritty veneer eclipses charm

Take a step into the dim-lit, outdated interiors that seem to hold a grudge against modernization. The ambiance rings loud, dismantling any hopes of a romantic date night. Their beer is a poor excuse for refreshment, as the limited menu and sour experience drains your enthusiasm.

  • Bad For Dates

    Loud ambiance, lacks privacy, not great for a romantic date.

Perks: Frustrating service overshadows ease

You'll be grateful for the parking. That said, bask not in the hope of timely reservations. They remain elusive as a ghost in the din of this establishment. Staff seem entangled in snail-paced service, leaving you to languish in long waits. Although they seem to graciously accommodate groups, their inattentiveness artistically crafts a profound service disappointment.

  • Great For Groups

    Big parties get quick seating and accommodating service.

  • Okay To Park

    Parking is generally available, although the area can be quite busy.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Very busy, hard to get staff's attention for service.
