Despite the bad ratings, I decided to give this place a try—and I was really surprised. It’s a hidden gem. I think many of the negative reviews may be about cleanliness. True, it’s not the cleanest spot, but this is more of a casual eatery than a full restaurant. And considering the prices—almost like McDonald’s—it’s hard to complain. I visited twice and both times ordered the meal of the day. Each time it was very good, with a proper amount of meat, rice, plus complimentary soup and tea. It was filling, tasty, and very affordable. It also felt very authentic—almost all the other customers were Chinese, which says a lot about the quality. Overall, I can definitely recommend it.
