Description
While the kitchen gets high marks for flavorful oxtails with extra gravy and chicken foot soup with dumplings, the experience is notably high-friction. Diners frequently report hostile service alongside order inaccuracies and recurring hygiene issues, including multiple accounts of hair found in the food. It is a classic trade-off where good flavor comes with unpredictable logistics.
