We have been ordering take outs for years and recently decided to dine in. Upon walking in with our 4 year old daughter. One of the wait staff knelt down to her level and asked her if she would like a ring. (While presenting a flat of children's play rings) The smile on her face was eat to ear. Later on in our meal Mr. Wong stopped by our table to check on us. Moments later a scoop of ice cream with sprinkles arrived for our daughter. It did not show up on the bill. This type of hospitality really makes us feel at home." }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Robert Gravett" }, "datePublished": "2025-02-10", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": 5 }, "reviewBody": "Mr Wong and his staff do a fantastic job.
