The simple version is that the food is consistently tasty, but the prices are elevated for Verona. I would give a 3.5 if available. I would recommend sharing a few plates and grabbing some dumplings and fresh spring rolls at the restaurant or take out if you live in the area and don't feel like going further to the Smiling Banana Leaf in Highland Park. Also, the heat index is not very consistent, so mild heat lovers should aim low!
