Amazing service and great food. This is our first time here, and we got to try everything before deciding what to eat. Ambiance is good and tables are very clean for a fast food restaurant.

She asked us our spice tolerance, if we had allergies, free water, very respectful and asked us if we wanted to try the foods before we picked anything. Overall 5/5, cant see any reason to give it any lower.
