The service was efficient and the food was good! The friendly smiles of the person serving me made me feel welcomed and they served with a big smile. Even when giving me my order, they were still serving me, as a customer, well.

I came to try the sausage egg crepe with my girlfriend and honestly it wasn't to my expectations. However, the staff was patient and courteous when receiving my feedback. I'll try the crispy chicken next time.
