"This establishment is CASH ONLY This is a must visit if in this area Due to some unfortunate circumstances we are in the Mount Vernon area for a few days and wanted something different. This place was the perfect option. Despite there being no one in the restaurant, there was a short period of time where we seated ourselves and......ok so this is a smaller business and were probably prepping for the evening but acknowledgement is key. Our dishes were both excellent, my sister had the Jungle Special which is J Salmon and Pasta Noodles in a delicious Creamy White Sauce. I had the J Chicken with Rice and Peas and a side of Plaintains that were all as delicious. We had agreed to try a bite of each others food however enjoyed our meals so much we scratched the idea halfway through. The portions were both generous however the Salmon Portion was a bit smaller in comparison to the Pasta portion. The young lady who assisted us was perfectly friendly, and spent the appropriate time at our table. It wasn't until it was time to pay that we realized the sign behind the menus read cash only. This is not an issue in general except, I never carry cash, and lots of people do not. There is an ATM machine inside which is convenient and has a fee. Yes, credit card transactions come with some fees but that's the price of doing business. It's a damper at the end of a meal to find out I need to use an ATM. What if I did not have my bank card and literally had one credit card. This is a five star rating easily however the ATM fiasco paired with the seating hiccup at the beginning places us in the 4 Star category. This is a must visit, but if I have to remember to hit the ATM before my visit and there's an easier payment option at another establishment then........"

"This is for the chicken and rice bowl, minus the slaw and pickles. I'm not big on slaw, just going for something a little bit more simple. Just chicken and rice, I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy. Incredibly expensive considering half of a fried chicken breast with some spicy mayonnaise type sauce on top, over plain, buttered white rice with a bottle of water would be almost $21 but I was very hungry and I have very limited time. I am a sucker for butter rice, it's just one of those things you don't normally eat out in the world, so at home where I can count the calories, it's just something I don't often allow myself to splurge on. You almost never see buttered rice at restaurants, so it was a delicious treat! The chicken was fried in a very thin batter, had a great flavor, I got medium heat, which they drizzle a tiny bit over it and then give you a bunch on the side. I'm not huge on spicy mayonnaise so I didn't feel the need to add any extra. Perhaps if I had gotten the pickles and slaw, it would have been even better, but slaw has even more mayonnaise on it, it would've been mayo overload for me. I debated giving them four stars but, the price for what you get was pretty wild, something like that should never cost more than maybe 12 or $13, this isn't a fancy restaurant it's your typical run-of-the-mill local teen hang out. Perhaps other things on the menu Are pretty amazing, the quality of the food was very good. It just felt like a price gouge. Maybe it's in El Dorado Hills thing lol, not saying I won't be back."
