They also offer an excellent variety of cooking supplies, ramen, spices, tea, and Chinese sauces. The boba tea is a definite highlight!

They also kindly stored my water bottle for two weeks after I accidentally left it there, and I was so pleased to find it when I returned yesterday. What a thoughtful gesture!

There are days when the congee is cooked perfectly, with just the right flavor and texture, but more often than not, it's watery and bland (I even took a COVID test to make sure!). Ordering from here feels like a gamble—sometimes you get great food, other times you don’t get good service. This place has the potential to be amazing, so I really hope things improve soon.

I’ve only eaten congee that my friend has made, so I was skeptical to try another! But I was not disappointed! It was truly deliciously and hearty! I’ve been craving a nice home cooked meal and this is exactly what this felt like. I will be back!
