Not one of the cleanest restaurants in town. Sticky Chairs and tables but they have some very tasty dishes like Generals Chows Chicken. The food is always consistent as well.

Waiting time is not reasonable. Though their dishes are ok not the greatest you've taste before. Lunch special menu doesn't give enough to fill you up.
