That place is so gross, no surprise. Love if it was replaced by a great, authentic, non-chain, ethnic restaurant. Spice, Cyclo, Casa Enrique, Tuk Tuk are so mediocre. Don’t need another pizza place either.

Well, the food is fried and overcooked, that should kill all the germs plus taste GREAT.

The place is disgusting. I hope they either shut down completely or step it up.

I saw an apt above it which was infested with roaches and mice. Disgusting. They need to fumigate the whole building. Who eats here that has kept it in business???

I got sick from this place 6 years ago and have never eaten there again. This news is completely unshocking. Glad that it’s shut down.
