    Surprisingly pretty good! A good alternative to chipotle. Get the kimchi bowl with chicken or beef

    Quick service, and you don't have to go through a psychological mind game of picking the ingredients (like Chipotle). Go sit outside!

    The 'Braised' Tofu is like a salt lick. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that it's actually fried instead.
