| - The place looks extremely sketchy and hidden where if you don't know the location of this restaurant, you wouldn't be able to find it. It's located in a factory area inside smaller streets.
The restaurant just has a small lighted sign in red saying "BARCODE". The parking lot seems like a back of a restaurant or a empty piece of land where you just park. There's a dumpster at the side of the parking lot which makes it smell pretty bad at times.
Once you walk inside, it seems totally different. The decoration is very nice with each booth sectioned off, so you get more privacy. Once you walk in, the smell of the restaurant, the decoration and vibe it gives off makes you feel like you're in China. (If you've ever been to China places, this is exactly how it feels.) In every booth, it has their own TV, streaming some China drama show which is quite entertaining if you understood.
The Menu is quite simple with lots of pictures, I would say EVERY dish they serve has a picture to show what it is, as well as English translation. They provide you with a pencil and a piece of paper and you write down the item number of the dish you would like to order.
Alcohol are fairly cheap here, $2.99 for a bottle of domestic, $3.99 for imported. I would say if you can't eat spicy food, this ISN'T a place for you! 90% of their items of the menu are spicy because that's just the style of the restaurant and I would say it's very spicy ( I eat sriracha on a regular basis). Their food is made so spicy because 99% customers come to drink and when you're drinking, the alcohol calms the spiciness down as well as your taste buds aren't as sensitive. The price of the food is considered pricy for this type of Asian cuisine.
This place opens late so it's great to grab drinks and food at night.
Servers don't speak very fluent English, but good enough to communicate.
Overall, I would only come back if I'm in the area looking for spicy food to eat or if it's late at night and I desperately need food.
