"Whoever made my bowl, absolutely amazing! they literally filled it to the brim of the bowl, there's not too much rice, i got spicy tuna and crab salad it was so good. the tuna is super tender. and they drowned the bowl in spicy mayo, which i usually have to ask for more when i order places, they were not stingy about portions or sauce. 100/10 would order again."

"The Cobb Salad was perfect with plenty of dressing on the side. The Double Cheeseburger was also perfect with a nice grilled meaty flavor and plenty of cheese. The bun was buttery and grilled on oneside. I ordered beer battered onion rings as a side - there were only 5 or 6 but that was enough and they tasted good. The Smoothy looked a little small but was actually the perfect size to accompany the meal - I took the last sip with the last bite. Honestly the meal completely met our expectations and was tasty and filling."
