My friends and I stumbled upon this place by accident but I'm so glad we did. They both ordered the Singapore fried rice and they seemed to enjoy it a lot. I ordered the pork homemade noodles and they were absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend. We also had the cabbage and Blackfungus as a side and it was surprisingly nice. We had the sweet potatoes for dessert which I would also recommend. The service was fast, staff very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back to try more things from the menu!
