"The food was flavorful and spicy. I was pleased with the vegetable dumplings and the spicy seafood soup."
"The beef BBQ was simply amazing, the meat melts in your mouth!!"
Cons:
"The fried chicken honey garlic was not up to the mark, with an excessive amount of sauce overpowering the dish."
"The eel bibimap was the worst, with poorly cooked rice that felt like mush."
"The sweet fried chicken was completely doused in sauce, making it seem like I was drinking sauce instead of eating chicken."
