    Staff are lovely. Chef was good. Menu changed and offers few veg options compared to past and preps for veg side dishes and fried rice are over 60% onion . The interior is very run down and the ceiling leaks are gross, actively leaking in the dining room (it wasn’t raining) and ceiling brown/0puckered in several areas. The health dept probably wouldn’t allow this as it is near the tables where food is cooked. We won’t go here again.
