save yourself time and never come here!! the food was good but service was AWFUL. had to ask multiple times for assistance and all waiters were extremely rude to us and not professional. too busy drinking boba and chit chatting in the back instead of doing the job we paid for 😭

Had such a great experience here! The food came out fresh and fast, and everything tasted amazing. Our waitress Angelina was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Definitely coming back again soon!

So so soooooo good!! Highly recommend! The sauce (all) was very addictive. Has a hint of sweetness. Medium spice level wasn't very hot. I'll try the next level up next time. Loved the shrimp! It was cooked perfectly! And although the garlic noodles were a bit overcooked, they were still very delicious and garlicky! The clam chowder was also very good! Reminiscent of Monterey or Santa Cruz chowder. Will definitely return to try other things on menu. Service was ok. It was after 7pm and the servers were friendly and tentative. B+

First time and I absolutely loved it!!! I was skeptical since I never really see this place packed, but I’m surprised it’s not flooded with people! Super tasty, delish, flavorful, and addicting! We got the #2 bucket thing (forgot the name of it, but its the second page of the menu) and it was fulfilling for four adults! We had plenty left over too. The garlic noodles are sooo yummy too! Clearly its messy as any other like restaurant, but its so worth it. A real experience!
