This place is a hidden gem in a small town, attached to a gas station and small liquor store. We were in the area on New Year’s Eve and everything was closed except for fast food. They do a brisk takeout business but when we were there we were the only ones seating inside. The food was very reasonably priced, quickly made and very good. If you get something that has their carrots in it you will be pleasantly surprised how good they are. My sister is vegan and was easily able to find something to eat. Staff was friendly and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was GREAT. We had Teriyaki chicken and Broccoli with rice and sweet carrots and Teriyaki Shimp and Broccoli with rice and sweet carrots. The carrots were so tender and sweet. The chicken and Shimp was cooked perfectly with the Teriyaki sauce.
