My brother has been raving about this spot so I had to come check it out! The cashier is so sweet and beautiful. Very peaceful atmosphere and the chicken was worth the hype! Can’t wait to come back (:

Can't say enough about this place. The food was absolutely scrumptious! We had the chicken fried rice and the fried chicken with potatoes. Lord! Everything came fast, hot and delicious 🤤 for sure we will be back!

Amazing food for a very reasonable price. I had the Himalayan fried chicken ( boneless), which was served with such tender and flavorful potatoes and a great dipping sauce. Everyone working there was so friendly. Highly recommend!
