The service here was fantastic. My husband and I (+ sleeping baby) came here a little before close. Staff was thoughtful and placed us away from A/C, and were patient and knowledgeable. Also helpful and made sure we were able to experience it right.

They deserve all of these 5 stars twice and even 3 times over!! They bring food out as they are ready despite your intent, ie appetizer(s) or side dishes. Knowing that upfront was helpful to know to pace eating. We ordered French fries, sautéed broccoli and sautéed mushrooms along with 1 Dungeness crab with the Karai Special sauce at Cayenne spice level.

Came here for dinner. Amazing food and amazing prices. I highly recommend the Karai sauce - we had the shrimp with Cayenne level - added rice and garlic noodles: what an amazing treat!!
