This was my second time to Stubborn Seed and it was as wonderful as the first time. The staff went above and beyond to make my experience so special, including making me a sweet paper crane and letting me order some items to go. This is the kind of hospitality that makes lifelong memories. Jackie, Tokyo, and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic.

We had a great meal. We had just arrived that evening and it was the perfect place to have dinner. Food was delish. The sports games were on tv and our kids played battleship from the stack of games they have. Was a lot of fun.
