I?ve been here a few times and I really liked it but today was not good at all. I feel like the quality of the meat is cheaper. The brisket is super dry and the waiters barely came to our table. We got tired of waiting so we left. I?m disappointed because this was my fav kbbq place because it was so tasty but it?s not good anymore. Plus it?s also pretty pricey. View all feedback.

Low price, high quality meat. And I really love their steamed egg. But I hope they can provide more kinds of condiments.
