Description

This is a spot built for the food rather than the dining experience, offering a straightforward setup that includes an outdoor deck if you choose to stay. The kitchen keeps its traditional dishes mild, so you will want to ask for house sauces to add heat. While many diners praise the hearty, authentic flavors, visits can be inconsistent. Reviews point to mixed experiences with food freshness—especially regarding the fish—and some packaging issues when ordering delivery.
