The garlic veg (baby bok choy) was good but my Mom said it needed soy sauce. Thing is you gotta eat it before you eat anything spicy or you can't taste the delicate flavor. Shredded potatoes was different from the hot and sour version I usually get, its spicier. And the Garlic sauce with pork is spicy and has that kinda smoky sweetness is the best way I can describe it.

The pork fried rice had an okay smokey flavor from the pork but wasn't anything to write home about. The crab rangoon was a weird chewy texture and barely even had a crab flavor. Overall I would not try again.

For an appetizer here, I had their bbq chicken wings. I highly recommend them. They were coated in a garlic bbq sauce and were very juicy and filled with flavor. The main dishes we had were the Hawaiian chicken barbecue with french fries (rice is available instead) and lomo salteado, a Peruvian dish. The barbecue chicken was very good - it came with three well-cooked cutlets of meat with crinkle cut french fries. It was a pretty standard barbecue plate. The lomo salteado was not bad either. The gravy in the dish was a little more watery than it should be, but overall, it contained all the necessary ingredients and was very filling. The staff here is very polite and friendly as well.

Every bite was packed with freshness and love, you can taste the care Mike and his team put into their dishes, and honestly, it should be studied.

We weren't really addressed when we came in, the staff seemed to be hiding lol (given their fun social media videos it was a little confusing) We sat and waited for the rest of our party, figured to order some apps while we waited but since no one ever came to us, we ordered at the counter. Once we had everyone, we still weren't really addressed we kinda had to keep calling someone over to take our orders that ended up being taken in pieces. The dumplings and wontons were great. Chili oil and dips were good although soy sauce came in packets? Scallion pancakes were crispy and thin. The beef one tasted almost like peaking duck which was great. All the noodle bowls we got were very flavorful although I wish my seafood one had more actual seafood. It was a lot of noodles and a couple pieces of meat. I asked the server if they could make a small bowl for my daughter with just some shrimp and they did which was very nice of them. Desserts we got were cut up for us so they were easy to share. The fried mochi was chewy and fluffy but not much flavor but a black sesame type powder was with it to dip. Needed that for sure! The coconut balls were better. Inside was like a piña colada and outside was crispy. I just wish the service was a little better? We kept having to call someone over to take our orders or to take finished plates away. To just sit down desserts in the middle of all the dirty dishes feels weird. You can def tell the dumplings and noodles are handmade. There's no doubt about that. Everything felt fresh. Maybe I'd do delivery or pick up next time? lol

We ordered the Hainanese Chicken, the Kari Mee, and the Roti Canai. I really liked the Hainanese Chicken and the rice it came with was delicious. It was cooked perfectly and was so tender and comforting. I also really enjoyed the Kari Mee. I was so flavorful and full of chicken and veggies. The broth was rich, and just what I expected. I also enjoyed the Roti Canai, but I feel like the bread was a little too crispy and we totally made a mess at the table. It was also hard to dip because it just kept flaking apart. The curry for the roti also could've been thicker, but overall this dish was also amazing. Definitely worth the pit stop!
