The food is delicious and the bowls are made with a considerable amount of rice and vegetables, and they also ask if you would still like the ginger, peas when other stores put these items in regardless. They also put more sauce in if you wish and make the meals considerably fast (even if I go in the morning at 9am before any meat is cooked) and I always receive my food in under...
