This restaurant is located on a side street off of US 421. I found it while looking for a parking spot with the intention of eating at another restaurant. I decided to give this establishment a try after seeing their daily lunch specials advertised in front of the entrance. I had the daily special and a tea. My meal (including tip) was less than $10. Service was quick and my teriyaki chicken was very good. I was out the door and on my way in less than 30 minutes. It was counter ordering and the meal is brought to my table. Dining area and tabletops were dirty from prior diners or this would have been a 5 star review.
