What our guests are saying

First time with my family on a early Sunday evening. Sat outside bc we brought our dog. Kids loved the fried chicken and pork belly bowls. My tofu bowl was also delish. Kids soup noodles is great for a more plain taste of kids. Overall great. Service was awesome. Helping with menu selection and prompt delivery.

Oh my clucking goodness. This place is super tasty and has a great vibe. Came here during the smokepocalypse for a safe haven, and boy did I find one. Deep-fried chicken sammie goodness, tasty tater tots for days, and poached chicken that’s miles better than Rooster and Rice. Their iced coffee was even amazing. What kind of godsend is this place?

Enjoyed the chicken rice bowl and the ahi poke bowl over mixed greens. Both were delicious. I was impressed with the greens because of the variety. I tasted arugula, watercress, and other greens! Really like the watercress. The chicken rice bowl comes with a delicious soy-garlic-bean sauce on the side. The sauce is heavenly! 👍👍Very good selection of 🍺 on tap. I wish I lived closer to this place. I would come here much more often.
