I believe this place tried to scam me on Doordash by ordering almost $300 worth of food on my account. I live nowhere near Newark, never heard of this place before.
I have text confirmation setup, and I got a text randomly to put in the code to confirm my order.

The food always comes out super quickly, and they have some really interesting options. Our favorites are usually the tripe, the thin tofu strips, the bacon enoki rolls, and the cucumber salad with beancurd strips.
