Samantha Erin: Try the Crab Wonton Tacos, Roasted Broccoli, any of the Satays and ICE CREAM! Dont miss happy hour either, super cheap food and delicious drinks everyday from 5-7!!
Holly Glidden: The happy hour is amazing! Good food selection with dishes all under $4. You have to try the Jumani Fizz drink which is Champagne sake and sangria or have fun with a scorpion bowl! My favorite place!
