“This is my second time coming back to eat, they are quite busy and the service is also good! They also helped me pack the seasonings, and I am very grateful. I saw a comment about tips, and I think their salary comes from tips, and they do a good job. I will pay tips, and I hope they are not influenced by the person who doesn't give tips. There are still many kindly people❤️”
“If this place was to get shot twice, I would take both bullets. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.”
“Visited the restaurant for several times. The classical bone soup is my favorite. You'll find condiments available in the corner to adjust the taste as you like. I suggest guests with non-halal restrictions ask the staff before picking up the ingredients as some of the items have no labels and it may contain pork.”
