"Everyone was friendly and the building is absolutely spotless, you could eat on the floor which is a feat considering how many people go in and out each hour.My first time in the Port Charlotte and I was trying to find a local restaurant to try- kept getting chain suggestions except this one which was tucked away. Only a mile away, I went right over and sat and reviewed a paper menu until it was time to order. You order at the counter and you can eat in or take out. Maybe ten minutes before the food was ready and boy was it hot. I got the bulgolgi (I 'm Korean) and my friend got the Oyakudon which is literally parent child rice bowl in Japanese. It 's a direct reference to the contents of the meal being chicken and egg. For some reason his meal had beef instead of chicken. We have no idea why but figured at least beef is the more expensive cut of meat, he came out ahead. The meal was good and the white rice in the donburi was absolutely amazing, some of the fluffiest rice I 've had in a restaurant and it was seasoned perfectly. The egg was cooked perfectly, all of it was delightful.My meal was the right level of spicy and the fried rice was truly fried rice, not oil soaked leftover boiled rice, no. Nice fluffy soft rice, fried to perfection with seasoning. Not greasy, not hard little plastic square box of grains. There a boiled egg I didn 't expect, I think it might be a soy boiled egg. Jammy and delightful just the right level of boiled and very creamy.Oh the cheese wontons were great too, basically a rangoon without the seafood and a bargain at less than $5. Really happy with thefood and we will be back whenever I 'm in town. Going to be very hard to choose from the extensive menu.Oh, they have boba, a very large list of boba options. But they also have ramune, green tea and what looked to be Pepsi products.All in all, great food. Clean building. Nice staff. Eat here."
