"Gave this place a try. I had the House Special Fried Rice. It was really good but wow it had some spice. Not to much but didn’t expect it since I wasn’t asked if I wanted spicy or mild. I would definitely come back though, after my nose stops running good stuff. Real nice people and fast service."
