I brought two friends with me to dinner tonight. One of them did not like Asian food, and we were celebrating the birthday of the other person. They both loved the meal and we decided it will be the perfect place to celebrate more birthdays and dinners together. Thank you so much Roka Akor. Food and service were excellent!
