Description
Eating here means squeezing in, as the dining room feels a little bit tight. While the cheap daily set menus are a staple for locals, some patrons have flagged consistency issues with food freshness. The neighborhood spot also has a rowdier side after dark, drawing complaints about disruptive late-night noise and fights linked to early-morning alcohol sales.
