4.0
Stopped by for a quick dinner around 8PM and ordered the Hawaiian chicken bowl and the BBQ plate. It took nearly 30 minutes for the food to come out, which was surprising since we were the only customers at the time. The delay might have been due to the BBQ plate including three different meats, but we expected a faster turnaround. That said, the food was tasty and the bowls are reasonably priced, making it a solid option overall. - David Parajon
