But since someone referenced Matsumoto's in another review, we thought we would try. It's not Matsumoto's. But it is far better than most mainland versions of shave ice. The ice texture is definitely not a snow cone - it's finer. Would have been 4 stars if it weren't $7 apiece. We tried a bunch of flavors - root beer, strawberry, cherry, lime, passion fruit. The flavors are generally really good. Passion fruit was by far the best flavor.

Unexpectedly came towards the end of their weekday lunch deal so got the soondubu tofu soup and the…read moreseoul long tang which I usually get anyways and was an affordable price ~$15 each? (not too sure) The tofu soup I got was mild-lightly spicy and gosh it was the spiciest soup I've ever gotten and I usually eat this and other spicy foods perfectly fine! Wasn't the best for me. Alternatively the beef soup felt a bit bland but my friend liked it. Main complaint is not much beef in the soup and it tasted very tough. alternatively not much seafood either, just tiny small bits of cheap shrimps which were a bummer. Only good thing was the decent price and decent free side dishes (not many) of which only broccoli tasted good. Food took forever to come so side dishes were a life saver although they also were never refilled which at traditional places they are. Main thing: the service was quite bad... from the moment we walked in, we didn't feel welcome as no one welcomed us, dirty tables were everywhere (like in those video games you play to clean up), and we waited awhile at the counter looking at menus until someone greeted us with an attitude yelling that counter is only for to-go and we should've just sat down if we're dining in... she huffed and sat us down, surrounded by the dirty tables. We asked if we could sit elsewhere but as big as the restaurant was, she still said half of it was closed for dinner (I know other places do the same but they were kind enough to let us sit in that area when requested) and the reason why this time, was because we were literally sitting surrounded by dirty dishes all around us - which they never cleaned up the entire hour we dined here! Very unpleasant view-never have I ever! Even our current table was sticky. And the food and service took forever. She seemed very annoyed when we ordered and whenever we asked for water or refill side dishes and gave attitude like we obviously need to wait for her to appear and be free to even ask which she was rarely seen. I never saw her treat other customers like the same way she treated us, for them, she was very patient and kind and offered menu options and even personal talk. Seems like she doesn't like tourists, just regulars. Anyways she was rarely seen throughout the meal and so I just sucked up the not so good food and we finished and took awhile to get the check. That was the only point in the interaction she seemed to be present in the restaurant. Other times she was nowhere to be seen. When paying, she loudly exclaimed what do you want to tip? In an attitude saying that, we had to tip, and it had to be a sufficient amount otherwise she'd be upset - which she was because service was not good. Even when we left and said bye, she gave us no word back and just another one of those scowled looks. Only one lady working the front and she was barely present and not pleasant. Overall food really isn't bad but it isn't amazing either. If this cuisine is what you're craving go for it, it's fairly priced. I would support a small business. But don't expect a clean restaurant or friendly service - unless youre a regular or fits the server preferred demographic. Not the best experience for me. Whole heartedly believe if service was better this could be a solid place!

This is a case of don't judge a book by its cover. The outside of the building could use a bit of work. Inside, it's not a very big restaurant. The decor is simple, but the aromas from the food being cooked are fabulous. I arrived for lunch with a friend on a weekday. The young man who greeted us served as both the waiter and the host. I ordered a chicken Penang Curry. I realize the restaurant doesn't have a large staff. Still, it's able to get a lot done efficiently. Our server disappeared and came back with our orders a short time later. I couldn't tell if he also cooked our food and I didn't ask. There were two other tables occupied with customers. I have to say the meal By did not disappoint. I loved my Penang Curry. What's more, it was a lunch special which cost $10. Considering how much I ate, it was very reasonably priced. I've already thought about what I'll order the next time I come back. Can't wait.
