Ece Irem ArslanMarch 3, 2013
Sorry but food is too fatty for my taste. Had a hard time digesting!
John WAugust 28, 2010
Avoid the tea. It's served in a pint glass that's way too hot to handle, and it's an unstrained floral concoction.
Steve SmithDecember 15, 2011

Food is okay but server is very rude
Joe CheahAugust 8, 2010
Wack ass food. Panda express rolled in dirt wouldve been better than this. Pricing is terrible. The rip off prices couldve fed a hundred starving kids anywhere in the world.
