Our cook person was amazing!! Unfortunately the fried rice was under seasoned and my son’s chicken was overcooked. Multiple people ordered chicken and multiple were cooking at the same time but I don’t know if just our son’s chicken had been left on the cook top for too long.. it was very busy at 5 on a Sunday but the staff was great and replaced drinks so quickly no one ever had a chance to ask! :) we will be back
