“ OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! In a word... PHENOMENAL!!! I drove almost 2 hours (one way) just to eat here and bring food back home, literally!! I love this place from the food to the service and the prices!!! The best Latino/Asian Fusion restaurant that I’ve ever had the pleasure of having!! I can’t wait to go back!!! ”
“ Overall was good but the only thing is if you mind waiting awhile in line then you can try it or wait til they get things a little better with the wait part, staff was good and food was great flavors were there. If you can't be standing for long period of time then wait.( we got there at 2:30pm waited in line and we got our food around 5:20pm) so with that said give it a try. I know they just opened not so long ago but I'm sure they working hard to get better. Keep up the good work #borichina ”
“ Where can I start, the food was amazing 10/10 the staff were very friendly and helpful to me and the atmosphere felt like home, if you are looking to have Puerto Rican/Asian food that tastes just like you would in Puerto Rico then I would recommend going here for sure! ”
“ The food taste is good. The wait is insane. The price is pricey. The amount of food per plate, depended on the platter but basically 1 per toston, 5 a tiny cheesecake, 4 a tiny tres leche, 8 pina colada (that was too sweet), 15 for pepper steak with pork fried rice and a few fries. They could have added more boneless ribs to my plate. The tostones had garlic (it was dry). The boneless ribs were dry too, like the red sauce was missing. The chicken platter 3 pieces of chicken and a lot of rice. Overall the taste was good but the desserts left me in shock. The cheesecake was like 2" very small for 5. The 8 pina colada was like a 10 ounce cup (very small). The tres leche taste like box cake with buttercream frosting and it has a handwritten phone number in a sticker . It didn't taste good. The wait is about an hour on a busy day. There's not that many tables for you to sit and wait or eat. ”
“ Food is completely legit to the Chinese food from Puerto Rico restaurants. It definitely hit the spot. Customer service was friendly and helpful giving a 4/5 because last time the rice came with no shrimp after specifically ordering it but the food was so good that I didn't bother returning it. Gave 3/5 in atmosphere because the music was too loud in my opinion. ”
“ I had the lo mein with mixed meats and a pina colada. Food and drink were delicious, well worth the wait and 1hr drive for me. ”
“ I loved the food .Mofongo was soft and fresh and boneless spare ribs where tender and juicy .succeeded my expectations to the fullest im definitely coming back when I visit CT again! Much love From this PuertoRican from Florida lol ”
