The staff was very kind and welcoming! I had the chicken bowl, and I absolutely loved it. It was packed with fresh ingredients like rice, chicken, and guacamole, all perfectly balanced in flavor. The chicken was tender, the rice was well-cooked, and the guacamole added a nice creamy touch. Every bite was so satisfying! I would definitely come back for this again. - Selin Ozguler
