Food and atmosphere are good here, however, the seating service is some of the worst I’ve experienced and the restaurant really isn’t accessible for people with disabilities. I came last week with my grandmother and mom, both in their 90s and 70s, and we were excited to have a family dinner. We were told there would be an hour wait, but that ultimately became nearly 2 hours before we were given a table. They don’t offer any seating inside while waiting, which I understand because the place is very small. However, there was no waiting area even for handicapped patrons. So my grandmother who uses a walker had to stand the entire time. When the table finally came available, it was at the back of the restaurant. There was also a large party that we had to push by and just had lots of difficulty getting around, and the staff never helped us get seated. The seating person couldn’t have cared less and never showed any empathy. If he’d at least been apologetic and showed any kind of compassion, that would have been appreciated. After the wait nearly double the time originally told to us, they didn’t even offer a complimentary soda or anything. I get they are popular now (I’ve been coming since they opened with far less of a crowd), but with the poor customer service all around, I probably wouldn’t return.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible or disabled-friendly.

First time trying this place and it didn’t disappoint. Our server was spectacular (he was also the bartender). Food was good and came out quick. Moderately priced menu with plenty options to choose from. It’s a small, quaint restaurant and the atmosphere is family oriented. Me and family will most definitely return.

I had a friend bring me here for lunch for the first time. I never knew this place was located in Gretna. I absolutely love the food. I speak highly about this place to my friends. The atmosphere at this restaurant is great. If I can give it more stars, I would.

There are moments in every man's life when he stops to reflect on what he has accomplished. The work he has done and still to do. His family and how he can be there. And a bowl of ramen with pork belly that he is going to devour in a way that normal society will not agree with. This place is that place for me.

You should not charge peoples 10% tips for take out. This is why I will not give you 4 stars or more.

Food was good. Incredibly loud in the restaurant. Averaged 100dB over the hour we were there. Absorption can help!
