One of my personal favorite restaurants. It's a little hard to find but a hidden gem for sure. You have to go inside the storefront catty corner to the Vietnamese market and turn the corner to find it. The food is amazing, definitely recommend it to anyone who can handle some spice, its authentic Chinese-style Indonesian food.
