Amazing value per dollar, warm personable service, and stellar local vibes. Dog friendly and an absolute treat. Look out for their limited hours and work then into your breakfast schedule sometime. Baked chicken with fried rice for breakfast will fill you up until dinner for like $8 with tip. LOVE it! More

Service was fast and upbeat.
The food was plentiful for what you're paying.
The fried rice was spicy and salty, great for a hearty meal, not so great if you've got a history of high cholesterol. There were no veggies in it. The chicken wasn't seasoned much, fried with chicken broth sauce, still pretty good.
For $6 you get fried rice, a meat choice and an egg. I'm not a treasure hunter but I can't find that in town anywhere.
Would come back for a quick eat!
