The new eatery is located at 923 17th Avenue SW and boasts a bright, fast-paced atmosphere with friendly staff.

Restaurant-goers order at the front counter and then follow their meal along as it’s put together, working with a team member on the way to ensure they get their perfect combination of vegetables and sauces in the dish.
