"My friend and I went here for lunch and spent a little over $60. We ordered the following dishes: • Jap-chae (Stir-fried vegetables with vermicelli): This dish was a large portion and very tasty. • Sweet and sour fried chicken: The chicken pieces were large, the skin was crispy, and the sweet and sour sauce was very flavorful. It would be even better if the chicken pieces were cut a little smaller so they were easier to eat. • Beef stone pot rice: This dish came with a crispy rice crust at the bottom of the pot! I really like this type of stone pot rice. • Side dishes: There were many different side dishes to choose from. I especially liked the eggplant, so I asked refill couple times :P. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good, and it was a great place to gather with friends. I had a dinner with my friends. The two of them spent more than sixty dollars in total and placed an order: Stir-fried vegetable vermicelli: large and delicious Sweet and Sour Fried Chicken: The chicken pieces are huge, the skin is crispy, and the sweet and sour flavor goes very well with rice! It would be easier to eat if the chicken pieces were cut into smaller pieces. Beef stone pot rice: with crispy rice! I love stone pot rice like this! There are a lot of side dishes, and because the eggplant is so delicious, I couldn’t help but replenish it several times :P The atmosphere in the store is very good, suitable for gathering with friends."

"If I like something, I tend to order the same thing over and over again until I truly need a break. I've ordered the Margherita Pizza and Fried Traditional Wings three times in a row. The first time I ordered, I was so delighted. I got the Margherita Pizza because I like Margherita Pizza, but also because you can generally taste how good a kitchen's tomato sauce and dough is when it's simple. And, the Margherita Pizza here definitely got my reorder! There's not a huge amount of tomato sauce on top, but just enough that it balances out with the cheese and the tomatoes on top. They are just the right softness, and your taste buds are met with the delightful mix of cheese, tomato and basil. There's a layer of cheese on the pizza, then the ones they place daintily on top of the tomatoes. I'm usually not a fan of baked tomatoes, but they make it somehow that I can't help but love these tomatoes. The crust is not crunchy but has a satisfactory bite to it and is really soft on the inside, like freshly baked bread (makes sense given that it's made out of dough). I am usually not a big chicken wing fan, but after reading some reviews I decided I needed some. The wings were delicious too! You can bite through the crunchy outside and sink your teeth into the soft juicy meat inside, and roll it over your tongue as the flavor spreads throughout your mouth. They are not too strongly flavored so you can still taste the meat, which was perfect for me. After having a wonderful experience with my first order, I eagerly made another order the next time I really needed some good food to brighten my day. Excited to have that wonderful experience I opened the box and... and... was crestfallen. Half of my dozen wings were about 2 inches long with very little meat. I know some things happen and I tried very hard not to be disappointed but couldn't help it. I didn't actually cry because I am an adult now, but the child in me was holding back tears while I ate what meat I could off the bones and munched on the pizza. It was like when you accidentally let go of your balloon. I hadn't felt like that in a long time. Anyway, despite the wing portions, they both still tasted great. I was disappointed enough that I did debate whether I should get the wings again after that, but I figured I could leave that decision for one order later. I braced myself for the worst, but the wings in my third order were thankfully very fat and plentiful, and I was happily forcing myself to eat slower. I usually buy enough for more than one meal, but I like them so much I end up eating two meals worth as soon as I get them. Although both are best fresh, they still taste great when you reheat it in an oven toaster. Happiness for days! Rundown: The Margherita Pizza and Fried Traditional Wings both taste great, but if you are unlucky you might get tiny portions for the wings."
