I think it was a service assistant, but whoever greeted us at the door was absolutely horrendous; our server/manager was amazing, saved the whole experience. But for real, they need to work on that server assistance. The dumplings are to die for!!

This is a regular spot for me, my husband and my friends. This time I ordered the Fishwich with sweet potato fries. It was super good (definitely do a repeat on that one) and adding the fry dipping sauce to the sandwich gave it some extra zing. The portion was generous. See you in a couple of weeks no doubt! My husband and I are already planning our next food order LOL.
