Good Food, Good Service, Beautiful People
by msg_lover
My wife and I went there on Saturday and were seated facing the kitchen. I love watching how the food was prepared because it really built up our appetite. The guy running the kitchen was very courteous by answering my questions. He made my dish (Mayan Prawns and Grits) right in front of me and then when he served me my dish, he patiently explained all the components and then asked me afterwards how I liked my dish. Our waitress Jill who was cute as a button was very attentive and helpful with our order. We would definitely go back again.
- Pros: Creative Dishes
- Cons: None
Come if you don't mind the rudeness

Absolutely horrible, horrible service. Every time I go here I feel I need to kow-tow to the waiters and greeters there just to get a seat or food to be served promptly. Employees just don't care. They see mad, crazy business and lines forming out the door and you can leave or complain if you want because you are dirt and they are royalty and people will always come here because the food is awesome so they don't have to treat you like human beings. They have absolutely awesome pork buns and pork noodle if you don't mind being treated WORSE than the livestock being served.
- Pros: Great tasting food
- Cons: Awful, awful service
overpriced, average dishes, but good steamed buns

Long waits for salty average food. I've orderd the pork ramen and kimchi stew. Both were extremely salty and below average. Much better ramen can be found at Ramen Sategaya a few block down on 1st ave. So far, the only dish I have found to be tasty are the Steamed Buns with Pork (but waaay over priced at $9 for a few bites)
