Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
This is the pattern the site exists to surface: strong reviews, weak inspection. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.8 stars.
More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 19 of 23. The split is 23 positive to 0 negative across 23 rated reviews. What nobody raises here is serving size — it goes unmentioned across all 23 reviews.
None of that is visible in a star rating: the most recent DBPR inspection graded this kitchen a D (69/100), citing 2 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 9 basic violations. Diner sentiment and inspection result are measuring different things here, and only one of them is checked by the state. That result dates from March 24, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 8% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: food from approved source and clean clothes.
Taken together, this is a place diners like and inspectors do not. A good meal and a clean kitchen are different questions. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.
