"This tucked away restaurant is so cute inside, it makes the perfect date destination. When you enter the aroma of wonderfully prepared food is amazing. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food would make it worth traveling hours to find. Good doesn't cover it. We had three dishes, a yellow tofu curry, a hot pot and a spicy chicken salad. All of them were in the 15 dollar range. We ate family style which I recommend so everyone can try all of the wonderful distinctive flavors. You will enjoy your experience so much more. The food is fantastic. Each dish was seasoned perfectly. The yellow curry had amazingly flavorful tofu and was spicy without covering all the other flavors. Served with jasmine rice that was so fragrant and fresh it could be a meal on its own. The spicy chopped salad was mostly chicken, so don't confuse this with a rabbit food light weight. Beautifully seasoned and generously proportioned, this is filling with feeling heavy. The hot pot was an impressive variety of vegetables, mushrooms and meat. Thick and rich but not overwhelming. It is the perfect thing for a cold evening or when you crave some comfort food. The summer evening crowd was light but I would expect that once classes start the college kid could keep this place busy. This is one of those restaurants that should be on everyone's ones must try list."
