    My family has been coming here for 20 years (according to my dad). the place is not the fanciest but the food is just so damn good. your experience here depends on what you like and if you're good at combining flavors of foods. you pick what you want and they cook it for you according to ur preference. so if you think it taste bad, you probably don't know how to cook. my go-to combination is: pineapple (sweetness), lots of cabbage (texture), onion (sweet crunch), mushroom (soft crunch), pork (protein), potato and zucchini. occasionally i like to add other things. my go to flavor choice is combination curry 7

    This was always one of my favorite places. I returned to town 10 years later and was pleased to find that the food was fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and the atmosphere was peaceful. Loved it.

    Nice place with good and affordable food. Recommended for a quick eat. Price by pound now, 7-10 dollars per order would give you a stomach full.

    Make your own stir fry! It's a fun challenge to see how much you can fit into one bowl. Tips: use a tray to catch food that falls, line the edge of bowl with meat to give you higher sides, push food down as you load it in. Definitely coming back for more. Can't beat 8 for lunch.
