We had lunch there with my husband and our two daughters. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. The prices were reasonable, and we especially enjoyed the Love Boat menu. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!

Dine inDinner$10–20Atmosphere: 5Street Noodle 2, Pulled Pork Belly Buns, Pork Belly Steamed BunsSomewhat difficult to find parkingFree parking lot, Free street parking, Paid street parkingI wasn't sure if street parking was paid or free but it is a Sunday so it may have been free on weekends but pay during the week but also it is quite difficult to find street parking but there is a parking lot that you can park and just walk to the restaurant right down the street it's about 3 minutes from the restaurantNo this place isn't kid friendlyThis place is very tight, so not saying it's not wheelchair assessable. But if you come on a busy day it will be a tight fit

A highly recommended place, along with the self-research-based-decision to have a meal at this fine place! As a vegetarian, a good set of options, well cooked and the whole deal!

Cheap, fresh, and tasty food! Fast service although there was a wait for the table. I enjoyed my stir fry, and the Thai iced tea was amazing. Highly recommend.

Very good food in a trendy atmosphere. I've tried everything on the menu and there's nothing I don't like. Edit: The revamped menu has more options including salads and rice dishes. However, when ordering the shrimp, it now comes with the tail still on, which is...Read More

I order takeout usually once a month and it is delicious every single time! Great pork buns and spring rolls. The staff is always friendly. Parking can be difficult but it's worth it.
