Amazing food and service. Zach and his crew were so friendly and accomodating that every guest were praises for the food and the service. Punctual on time and courteous.

This food was amazing! I will definitely get this food again. People were nice and food was ready quickly. We got the hibachi steak and steamed gyoza. Just as good if not better than going to a restaurant.

When ordering, the description of the Chicken sandwich meal said it included fries and a drink. However when I went to pick up my order they stated it did not come with a drink. I received a text message that my order was ready, however I waited 10 minutes for my order when I arrived, then when I received it did not come with fries so I had to wait again and it did not come with bbq sauce when they said it was on the bottom.

The burrito is amazing, I have to have it every time I'm in the office on Thursdays. I just got my coworker hooked on them too and he even went to culinary school. It's just that good! Perfect size, perfect ingredients, don't change a thing!

Great plantains and ropa vieja. Website menu said it was Cali steak but I like ropa vieja more. Y'all might wanna update the online menu to note that, and that the burritos don't come with plantains inside
