Over the years that I've dined at this place I've had several welcoming and hospitable servers. Top tier service, the hospitality of the people here just melts my heart. Good food at good prices and such delightful people. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because of the parking space. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Well, this place has changed three different names, this time the food has changed with different unique types of dishes and the taste was at its best! I just love here especially the female staff such a polite girl to greet and communication and by the way... The best pop corn i ever had!

I went to this place to get a cup of coffee. Ordered a cheese sandwich too. Nice coffee, and I like that the sandwich came a long with some french fries. The waitress was very sweet too. That little ekstra. So tonight we ordered takeaway. And my husband said : Finally the perfect sweet and Sour sauce I ve been looking for!
