Before you head over
Practical dining advice on timing, ordering, and seating for your visit
Visit Before Peak Evening Hours
The dining room gets bustling and loud during peak meal hours. If you prefer a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere or wish to secure a table quickly without waiting, visit earlier in the day before 6 PM.
Review the Menu Before Ordering
With counter ordering and a vast menu spanning more than 100 items, take a moment to scan the options before joining the line so you can place your order swiftly.
Plan for Seating or Takeaway
Tables fill up quickly during busy services. If the dining area is packed or seats are scarce, consider placing your order for takeaway or dining with friends to share the generously sized portions.
