The King’s Birthday Long Weekend is finally here!!

The smartest holiday move? Bring the whole crew in to "Satay" with us!

Juicy, smoky chicken smothered in our rich peanut sauce. It’s sweet, savory, and a total crowd-pleaser. In fact, it's so good, it might actually keep the kids quiet and eating for a solid 20 minutes.

We are open all weekend long to keep the family fed and happy!
