I was greeted immediately upon walking into the restaurant (very important to me to be recognized). The employee asked me if I had any concerns about using the kiosk (not just assuming ) and stayed close by just in case I had any questions. I ordered the Shrimp skewers with teriyaki sauce, brussel sprouts and cauliflower rice. It was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS everything was cooked to perfection! I would give them 10 ⭐ if I could . Thank You for this amazing experience! Special thanks to Carolina
