“ Waitress Megan was really nice, the food is good and the music was decent. They usually have a DJ on Friday nights, but I think I came too early for it. Other than that I like the food and come during happy hour, which is 3-6, Mon-Fri. ”
“ I went on a date here and it was great! Our server was Jackie and she was very friendly and attentive. We had lots of questions about the menu and she was very patient and informative. The food was great and filling. I recommend their house sauce, its creamier versus the others that are more oil based. I haven't had the ramen yet, but I'm excited to come back to try it. ”
