Description

This high-traffic spot frequently runs out of menu items, leaving an unpredictable selection. Diners often report that meats like beef and baked chicken tend toward a dry, tough texture, while the yellow rice can harden as the afternoon progresses. On the other end of the spectrum, the pork soup and other dishes sometimes arrive heavily greasy, soaking through the takeout packaging. Service is frequently described as brusque, making for a challenging experience overall.
