We ordered a few dishes and they were either ok or awful....the soup was inedible. The waitress never bothered to check in with us. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Impressively bad service, combined with sometimes edible food. Ugh. Check out their responses to reviews on other platforms and don’t support these people

A guy told me: "So cheap it's almost free and better than most $80 meals I've had in Brooklyn." He's not wrong.
