    As usual, our experience was great. Little to no waiting time. As we were with two kids, they offered us a booth so we would be more comfortable, so shout out to the staff for acting so fast in that regard. We were greeted well at the table, and served took the order within 5 mins of being sat down, food was delivered almost instantly, no more than 10 min wait time. The only issue I would raise is that some of the food was cold, and since the air conditioner was on, food got colder quite fast. We were sitted in a section with a large group at the opposite table, so server had to juggle a bit more to accommodate everyone’s requirement in our sitted section. Despite all this, it’s still a great experience and enjoy going there as a family
