I discovered this cozy little Asian restaurant through a friend. The bubble tea was as rich and flavorful as ever! I brought some friends along for a meal, and we were all impressed. We ordered chow mei fun, chow mein, and the chef’s specials. Especially the two exclusive chef’s specials recommended by the manager, which were absolutely amazing! They’re not even on the menu, but full of flavor and depth. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly!
