The food is consistently delicious, I've tried her garlic chicken, turkey tails, ribs, curry, palusami, taro, chop suey, and corned beef. The meat is very high quality and very worth her prices as she charges by weight, but make sure to get some of the other foods that she puts a lot of time and effort into. I personally love the taro, chop suey, and palusami. Juanita is very nice and easy to talk to. The interior is clean and welcoming as everyone there is nice. Highly recommend visiting to support!

We've been exploring downtown Manteca since moving to the area and had noticed this brunch spot…read moreboth while driving around and through all the great recommendations on Yelp. The food was really good and definitely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. The wait times--from being seated to receiving our meals--were unusually long. It seemed like they may have been short-staffed, which is understandable, but it did impact the overall experience. That said, we're still willing to give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves, because the food alone makes it worth another visit.

If Central Perk served breakfast, it would feel like this place. We came in for a casual brunch and…read moreended up finding a new causal spot to brunch. I ordered a plate of crispy hashbrowns topped with tender pulled pork, smothered in rich, creamy gravy, and sprinkled with fresh jalapeños for a perfect kick. It was comforting without being heavy, like a warm hug you didn't know you needed. But the best part? They had fun flavored mimosas that made brunch feel like a celebration. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was bright, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the savory food. (Rachel Green would approve.) The staff was friendly, kept the coffee refills coming, and made us feel welcome without hovering. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough to leave you full but not overly stuffed. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, good vibes, and a reason to say "How you doin'?" to your mimosa, this is it. Can't wait to come back and bring friends for a brunch round two.

The show was amazing and had a lineup of 8 different songs and dances (hula and Tahitian).

I would highly recommend them if you need impressive entertainment for your event.

There's ample parking and easy to access. Classes are affordable and there's a discounted rate if you commit to 6 months or a year. Instructors are friendly and good with the kids. My daughter's had some fun opportunities to perform at the Warriors games, soccer games, and winter shows at Santana Row and Eastridge mall! They have an annual "Hoike" (recital) every summer which is fun and rewarding to see them perform. Pam, the owner is easy to communicate with via text and is very responsive with any questions. If you're thinking about it, you can even ask to do a trial class.

We showed up at about 5:00 pm and when we left the line was super long and we over heard the waitress telling people the wait was well over an hour.

I have been dancing with this studio for a little over 2 years. It all started with my daughter who…read morehas always loved to dance. A friend from school told us about the school, so I brought my daughter in for a trial class. She loved it so much we signed her up right away. Not too long after, I noticed that a lot of the parents are very involved with the group. Some of them dance, others play instruments and some help with costumes and events. A couple of the moms invited me to take a class, but I remember trying Tahitian in high school and never quite picked it up. However, the whole culture at the studio is like a family. Knowing that I could bring my kids, I decided to try it out because I needed some form of exercise. Never did I imagine I would be two years in and still loving it. I went from just dancing as exercise to being able to perform in front of people, which I have always been scared to do. The best part of the studio is all the people from the owners/teachers to the families involved. There are no egos or people trying to outdo one another. Everyone is uplifting, supportive and helpful. And just like the name suggests, it is more than a studio, it is a cultural arts center. We are not just taught dances. We are taught the language, the meaning of the songs we dance and even how to make our own costumes. Plus, you are able to participate as much as you like. If you don't want to perform, you are not forced to do so. They even have special classes where they teach you how to play different instruments. There are even fitness classes like Zumba. Of course, right now due to COVID things are different, and extra precautions need to be taken, so we do not have gatherings like prior. However, I highly recommend this studio for anyone who loves the Tahitian culture or just loves to dance.
