Lugar tranquilo, pequeño pero con buen sabor y atendido por un señor muy amable. Lo único es que el precio si se nos hizo muy elevado para lo que fue

Cash only. Super fresh- I asked to use the bathroom and the chef (who was also our server) led me to it through the kitchen, where I saw him prepping all ingredients for our meal fresh. We ordered the beef and broccoli chow mein and chicken with green beans. Food was flavourful, but not spicy. Everything was cooked the right amount. Specify if you would like tap water or you will be charged for bottled water.

Quite disappointed with the Mongolian Beef over rice. It tasted like sweet and sour instead of usual salty/spicy flavor. Service was reasonably quick on a Thursday noon lunch rush for a one man show. No complaints there. Keep in mind it is cash only. If you do come here, skip the Mongolian beef and maybe try something else.
