Description

The ingredient selection spans fresh tofu, seafood, meats, and noodles. While the flavors receive praise, the meal comes with a few local quirks. The menus are partially AI-generated, resulting in some gibberish descriptions, and the pricing is more expensive than the Flushing branch. Additionally, dine-in guests are met with a mandatory 10% service tip, an unexpected policy for a self-serve layout.
