“ Small space serviced by an attentive and speedy host/waiter. We especially loved the extra crunch and flavor the fried garlic had for the shrimp spring rolls, and that peanut sauce they serve is delicious for them as well as the salad dressing. I unfortunately ordered the Garlic Salmon instead of the cooler-looking Garlic Tilapia they had as a picture for the menu. The flavor was great! It came with a lot of Garlic, as well as a little dark bed of something finely chopped under it that was a little too salty for my husband on his salmon. But it was greatly paired as a topping for steamed rice, so he ate it with that. The red curry special came with an eggroll and a side salad. I ordered some fried banana with honey which while tasty, also expelled some hot water when bitten into. Delicious meal! Recommend the tilapia ”
