| - Tried this place for the first time on a Wednesday night with my family. It was pretty dead when we got there around 7:30 PM, there were probably only about 4 tables filled in total, and the place is pretty big so it felt kind of empty.
The highlight of the entire meal was the service I guess, since the staff were all super friendly and chatting with us, and kept checking up on us to help us take our order and ask if we were enjoying the food. It seems like this place might be a family-run establishment? Not sure, but I mean, the people were nice enough.
I wasn't too impressed with the food though. We ordered a scallop dish and for some reason the scallops seemed a little bit funky... they had a very faint sour taste, and the texture was harder for scallops than I was used to. Didn't seem like they were super fresh. We also got some tofu, and I felt a little bit uncomfortable eating it as well... also thought there was a slight sour flavour, and then for some reason the texture inside the tofu seemed a little bit chalky...? Other complaints my family had were that the broccoli wasn't washed thoroughly enough and my grandma said it was gritty and she tasted sand. Also some of the broccoli had like dark spots on them.
For dessert, they gave us a sweet papaya soup which I really enjoyed, as well as almond biscuits which I thought was a cute touch.
Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of this place, mostly because the experience with the food made me kind of uncomfortable and skeptical about eating everything. I probably would not return to this place again.
