This use to be our favorite hangout. But after riding the VIP roller coaster for attitude and food.. we had enough. The last straw came when the staff became so rude, and when we saw one of the kitchen staff carry two buckets of frozen uncovered cooked rice from the shed out back.

This use to be a great place for locals. But the past few months it has gone down hill. the staff are rude, and you can only hope you get waited on. Focus should be on the kitchen area and lack of cleanliness first.. Then the other questionable areas can be addressed. Like the shed outside that is there to refrigerator food.
