Excellent food . Great delivery or take out . My only complaint is that is you pay with debit they charge you extra which to me is poor service due to how often I spend money on that place

Good food, fast service. Its a quick grab and go sort of place which is perfect for lunch or a quick meal if you live in the area or go to La Salle University. Atmosphere and ambiance is not what they are striving for, its not a sit down and be served type of restaurant.
