Food was excellent. We expected nothing less from OB. The branch is situated in the perfect area as it's so close to my home. Would definitely recommend checking them out.

The food was nice, service fast and friendlier staff. The atmosphere and the culture around was pleasant. What I enjoyed the most was the dumplings and tartar source and garlic....Devine for a freebie.
