That is why in America, you guys just season with salt and pepper and calls it the best BBQ ever. In Asia, its called burned meat. That is why, Asian cuisine is at the top in flavors and seasonings.

I haven’t gone since because it’s only open thursdays and saturdays and it’s very busy but I would totally recommend. As a vietnamese person though, the Asian inspired side dishes weren’t very good but the barbecue was great!

Once we setup and are ready to sell we have almost a dozen pre-orders. They don’t show up until about 20-30 minutes later when the food is getting cold. I appreciate the business, but I hate that they let the food sit there.
