Food is amazing! I had edamame, spicy noodles, gyoza and sushi rice.Everything was made in house.Will most certainly come back again and again!

Thank you so much! Such a beautiful couple! I hope you are happy forever and ever. I also wanna say: life is a journey, a dream, a simulation or hologram.Whether I'm successful or not, I just glad I found my inner peace again after so many years.
The flavored rice with the chef's special sauce was flavors and creamy with a kick on the back end. We got the amazing spicy ramen with his special broth base.It was savory, and i had the non pork and crabmeat broth base. We had 2 spiked Boba teas and Thai vanilla red tea with pomegranate Boba.I had the Chinese Flower Green Tea with pomegranate Boba.I tried my wife's Thai red tea, and it essentially refreshed with a nice flavor left on the palate.The Chinese flower green tea tasted like a refined egg nog with its creamy milky flavor.The after taste leaves the flower flavor of the green tea and scent into your olfactory and palate.The rice was fluffy and sticky like I expected of Chinese rice.He had a special sauce, which I believe to be based in a particular sauce.I won't tell what I think it is but I think my palate is spot on.

Thank you so much, madam and sir! You are the best customers I ever met this year so far! Edit: a lot of people ask me for Taro.I don't have it because I don't like to do powders and all my drink is unique and better than the other powder drinks.Besides, before I order new materials I have to use up my old inventory.So we will see how business going this year and maybe 2 or 3 months later I will invent a Taro drink.
The owner, T is a one-man restaurant! He is super excited every time a new or returning customer comes in.He took some time to get to know us, chatted for a while, and even gave each other recommendations for other places of entertainment and food.Learning more about the creation of this place has my partner and I definitely wanting to come back for more.The owner is warm-hearted and welcoming.The food tastes homey, and the intimate space feels cozy.

Thank you so much for your golden review! I enjoyed our conversation.We've been talking 3 hours I think when you were here.That's the longest conversation I had with my customers so far in my entire restaurant life.And thank you for supporting me by buying the polo shirt.Even though the shirt is little bit small on your boyfriend.I really appreciate the act.
