TEARS OF JOY. Not only is the crispy garlic chicken gluten free, it is delicious. I never thought I would be able to eat this again. I was in Seattle for a week and ate this for every meal except two. Didnt get sick once. They are doing it right and I am so thankful.

We really enjoyed our meals. I think that asking for the spice tray with your meal is essential! The food was very good, but being able to spice it to your own preference really elevated it! ...

What a joy to visit! Everything was not only excellent, but also skillfully prepared, with the perfect amount of heat, some extra something to each dish that made it unique to our experience. Service that was present and helpful, but not overbearing or obsequious. I cant gush enough.
