⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food is always good and fresh — I absolutely love their EJ bites! However, it would be great to see a bit more variety on the menu. We often ask if we can swap the chips or bread for something else, but the response usually comes off quite rude at first.

Interestingly, when we offer to pay extra, the tone changes, and suddenly it’s possible. It would be much better if staff simply explained from the start that changes can be made for a small additional fee — we wouldn’t mind that at all. It would also be nice if there were flexible options for customers who can’t have certain items. Overall, great food, but a little improvement in communication and flexibility would make the experience even better.
