This is a great place. My favourite waiter was Somdip, he's so handsome and super funny and extremely good at his job. He looks so good in his uniform and always makes me laugh. He's got great hair too and he looks like that one singer from one direction. He also has super cool earrings. Otherwise, I think the jambalaya is very good. More
