My ex-coworker recommended this place - a Cuban Chinese restaurant. We had oxtail stew and fire crackling chicken combo. Everything was very delicious and I even used bread to soak up the leftover stew. Ladies, the restroom was very clean to use.
I understand this may be the restaurant’s style and that some people enjoy it, but in my experience the food was excessively greasy—literally dripping with oil. It didn’t sit well and felt heavier than it needed to be. If the oil were dialed back even a bit, the flavors would likely come through much better and the overall dish would be far more enjoyable.
