"Went visiting recently for the holidays, the food was great I had the pad thai chicken noodles. …"

"This restaurant is overhyped...the ambience is not bad but when I visited the AC wasn't cooling. The music is too loud, the staff are friendly but we literally had to tell them what to do to help us. …"

"I think this place can be really awesome but the lady who was responsible for serving us was TERRIBLE. I can't remember when last I had service this bad. The young man who came with the drinks was pleasant but the lady, jeez!! …"
