I love the pork belly. I wish there was sweet, sour, and spicy sauce to eat with it. As for beef stew, I would add more salt because I love sodium. The employeeS are so nice and polite too.

1st time visiting and won't be my last. The food was perfectly cooked and the portions were huge especially for the price. Was busy even for 2 o'clock in the afternoon when most restaurants slow down which shows how great it is.

This was our first visit. The restaurant was pleasant and clean. The service was exceptional and very reasonably priced. My rice and beans with pork and skin was delicious and plentiful. Will return on Wednesday for oxtail with rice and peas.
