    Shrimp Omelet
    Angelina G.

    Good breakfast spot! A little run down but it adds character, tasty food, hot coffee, what else do you need?

    3 eggs, hash browns, bacon, and toast

    Good has good flavor it's just cold the 2x I have ate there. Food is not kept warm while waiting for the rest to be done.

    I made a trip to Leesville for a Family Reunion and was told this place was a good breakfast spot. My uncle and my kids came here last Sunday morning. Call me generous with 4 stars but I liked the place. Definitely doesn't look like much from the outside, not many of the restaurants do in this area. But the place reminded me of a more cultural Dot's Diner. The place is rather large, lots of tables. It is an older building and yes could be a tad cleaner; but it gives you a Waffle House feel.... And I'm good with it as long as the food's good. I will say it took a long time for our food to come out and still a few things were forgotten. Normally I'd be okay with the wait, because I mean they were busy, but I had kids and they have a 45 minute cap before they start acting up! So if you're in a hurry this isn't the place for you. Our waitress Kim, was the absolute sweetest as well as her daughters. They all had great sweet attitudes even through the chaos. You could tell that there was communication issues between the waitresses and the kitchen at times. I was surprised to see they offered Chinese and Korean food. I was really happy about that because I'm Korean and I love Korean food! We ordered kids pancake plates, which was like an adult size plate. Huge portions. I got biscuits with sausage gravy, hash browns with onions and ham, a waffle, and eggs with bacon. The waffle was epic, I asked if the waffles were better than the pancakes and well Kim did not disappoint with her recommendation. Biscuits with sausage gravy were really good. Hash browns were a tad burnt, but that was one of the items they forgot. Bacon and eggs were cooked great. Food was good for breakfast; I ordered Kimbap Togo for my drive home and well I should've ordered three orders. They were delicious!!!! Again portions are great per price point. Where I am in Texas if you order one kimbap roll it's $9-$13. Here I think it was $9.99 and they gave you two hefty rolls. Again it's got that Waffle House, Dot's Diner feel, staff is sweet, our service was great... but the kitchen took awhile. Breakfast items were tasty, kimbap was amazing.

    The service and food quality were both subpar. The food was over cooked, near burned. The server never checked on me after she delivered my food. I had to wait ten minutes after finishing my meal to receive my check. The best description is "underwhelming."

    A pleasant surprise to see a diner that serves Korean food in rural Louisiana! The dining room didn't look like anything out of the ordinary in a small Louisiana town, but some of the menu items are what makes this place stand out. The service is wonderful and attentive. I ordered the bibimbap and Korean chicken wings. The bibimbap was wonderful, and on the generous side with the ingredients. The chicken wings, however, was left to be desired. Not very large wings and not very fresh chicken. Overall a good place to consider stopping by the next time I'm in the area!

    Here's another example of poor ratings but good food. I enjoyed my meal. The service was great and the food came out hot and fresh. Yes they have everything from bacon and eggs to beef bulgogi but that's ok as long as the food is good. I recommend this eatery. I also asked the waitress what she recommended. She gave me many options and also applauded the cook this evening. I enjoy a waitress that actually eats the food that is served in her establishment.

    Broccoli Shrimp and Sesame Seed Chicken

    Honestly coming in I was excited because I did hear some good things about this place. Very disappointing paying $30 for slop. They have a wide variety of American dishes but 4 Chinese dishes. don't waste your time. The food was gross and you could tell it was at least a day old. They messed up my order and it came out looking like cat food on top of rice. The sauces were lumpy and gelatinous which was very off putting. Our waiter was walking around,talking and very distracted. We both felt very sick afterwards and later that night throwing up. Wouldn't recommend eating here to someone fresh outta prison.

    Egg rolls and crab Rangoon
    Paul J.

    This Korean food place is a Yelp gem in rural Louisiana. I was hesitant since it looks like a dumpy diner. It's nice and clean inside. I had crab Rangoon and a egg roll to start. No one hand makes egg rolls anymore so it was average. The Rangoon was crisp and hot. They have a homeade dipping sauce that was not to sweet. The Bi-bim-bop is fantastic. The steaming hot Bulgolgi goes with all the ingredients. I think my next time in I'm getting all Bulgolgi!

    Hash Browns with Cheese & Onion
    Reaz K.

    Not good!Went to support this local business but utterly disappointed Korean Chicken Wings burned Not good sorry I was optimistic to go there after 7 years,before it was Kim's Kitchen it was different diner...I gave this place a shot but disappointed Never Again! I prefer BJ's diner instead,much upbeat & happy place

    As someone who grew up Southern, cornfed meat, potatoes and gravy redneck, it took my wife years to…read moreconvince me to finally try something at this restaurant. Anytime we visited the casino, she would go to Asia and I would go across the hall to get a hot dog. I finally gave in a couple years ago and joined her at Asia. While I'm still a picky eater, I must say I was astounded at the quality and freshness of the food we were served. My must haves are the firecracker shrimp and General Sam's Shrimp. The firecracker shrimp have the perfect amount of creamy heat banged with the present crisp of the fried shrimp. It's not overwhelmingly spicy but just right if you like a little heat. The creaminess of the sauce helps balance the spice. If you're up for it add a glass of ice water and order their best Saki to truly enjoy the experience. The General Saos shrimp is equally amazing. It's a delicate balance of sweet and savory with a hint of heat. Admittedly, I wouldn't be mad if it had a little more heat but my perspective is usually after spending hours in the casino and I'm looking to burn the demons of sin from my soul with spices. The spousal unit typically orders Hunan Chicken which I've sampled and it is definitely as savory and fresh. I lean toward dishes with a little spice and heat but it is very flavorful. The waitstaff is always very attentive no matter the hour and this restaurant is now our must visit every time we visit Lake Charles no matter where we stay.

    Meh. Food was okay for me, but nothing you can't get at Panda Express…read more My BF, however, loved the General TSO chicken. He said it was the best he's ever had. Hence the three stars. We were at the casino for a concert, and wanted to go to Johnny Sanchez. When we got to JS's, for some reason they had a very limited menu. It was basically just appetizers and a burger. That would have been good for me, but my companions wanted more. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food, so I ordered veggie fried rice, Mike ordered the aforementioned TSO chicken, and our friend Ruthie had beef with broccoli. She said it was good. The service was average. Not attentive enough for me-I had to flag her down to get to-go boxes and the check. Like I said: meh.
