Adjusted to the store's Google rating. Raw count: 21 positive, 15 negative. We collect extra low-rated reviews, so we reweight them to match the store's Google stars.
When a guest has a birthday, the whole restaurant sings together, which makes for a lively atmosphere. The decor is tasteful, the space is larger than expected, and the ventilation is good, so clothes don't pick up much grilled-meat smell afterward.

Some note that prices are not cheap, but say the quality and portions of the grilled meat are worth the price, and the rice bowls at NT$80 are also called good value.
