The rice and cabbage salad included in the meal is refillable/ unlimited which was a bonus. The service was exceptional, the staff is super helpful and kind. Shout out especially to our server who was an experienced gentleman. He talked us through the menu and provided excellent recommendations. As we are foreigners, he provided us with the translated English menu and made us feel welcomed. Atmosphere is great, very spacious and comfortable. Would recommend this place to anyone...
