We ordered the restaurant week menu and it was wonderful. We enjoyed everything that was included, and it was a great value as well. We have had this server before, and he is delightful, friendly and efficient. We may return again before the end of this special promotion!

We went for lunch on Friday and it wasn't busy at all. We were able to hear everyone at the tab le and even though the server was soft-spoken we heard her too! :) The food was very good and fresh and had no issues preparing the meals as each person wanted. The best dessert I had was the warm Butter Cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. We also shared the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream and was very happy with that too! Second time there for me and would go again!

Wonderful experience as always. Fried rice should not be a $7 up charge. A bit of a rip off.

The service was great. The banger and waiter were very friendly and helpful. The veggie selection while good doesn’t seem to be as good as their Schaumburg location. The prepared food here seems to be better. Well stocked and presented nicely. The fresh veggie selection had maybe one or two selections of a particular item, the Schaumburg location would have 3 or 4. But all in all still a good time.
