I ordered combo meal M3 (3 Grilled pork belly skewers, rice, soup, and a drink) and it cost 21 dollars.

Grilled skewers went well with soy sauce. The soup was personally satisfactory, but I think there are some likes or dislikes because it has a strong meat flavor.

In conclusion, there weren't too many bad things, but there are as many restaurants that are better...
