Food: Tasteless portions disappoint

The House Special Beef Noodle Soup, Boiled Peanuts, and Pork and Shrimp Dumpling are the highlights of the menu but they can't salvage the situation. The tastes fluctuate between bland and decent, creating a lack of consistent flavor profile, kept company by smaller-than-expected portions that further disappoint guests. While dishes like the Beef Noodle Soup are flavorful, the quality takes a nosedive during busy hours, hinting inconsistency.

  • Okay Taste

    Dishes range from bland to well-seasoned; some heavy and oily, others tasteful.

  • Small Portions

    Some portions considered smaller than expected, disappointing guests.

Vibe: Haplessly shabby restaurant

Challenged by odd decor choices, the shabbiness of the place does little to foster an attractive ambiance. Further, the restaurant fails to garner a buzz or standout in an area flooded with competition, making the overall vibe less than desirable.

  • Bad Buzz

    Restaurant does not stand out in area saturated with competition.

Perks: Service and space fall flat

The convenience of a large free parking lot is overshadowed by various dilemmas. The small dining area is ill-suited for large groups and service complaints stack up, with multiple mentions of rude and unattentive staff. The overall experience aptly resembles a mixed bag, mostly filled with shortcomings.

  • Easy To Park

    Free and plentiful private lot parking, convenience highly praised.

  • Bad Service

    Several complaints highlight rude service and slow, unattentive staff.
