I wish I could give a better review, and maybe most nights they’re okay and better staffed… but I’m not exaggerating when I say my single order of chicken pad thai and 2 egg rolls took 1 hour and 40 minutes to receive. There seemed to be no urgency from the staff. The food was pretty good, but the wait killed the experience for me. I was there at the VFW for an event that night and it was busy so maybe they just got overwhelmed… but still. I probably won’t come back. At least there was a fish tank for my daughter to stay entertained while waiting.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The food was good. We had the orange chicken which had plenty of sauce but the chicken was still crispy and not soggy. We also had the Thai Curry which had great favor and a perfect spicy kick which I like. Additionally, we enjoyed some crispy egg rolls with a spicy chili sauce and a Mongolian beef all prepared nicely with good flavor.

We came on a really busy night, they seemed a little understaffed but the food was excellent and the service was good if a bit slow.
