Salwa is fantastic to work with, I'm a difficult client, I like to see and make adjustments all the time, she was very patient with me and put my fears to ease. I would definitely recommend her!!!

The name is very cute just like the store!!

I had an appointment at 1. I reached a couple mins after. There were two people working there and was asked to wait I didn't mind. There is a funny smell in the store but didn't seem to linger too long. They have a wall with stuff they sell and their promotions and what not. To sum up their look...vintage.

So I bought the deal that they had going on and decided to try out shellac. Walking down on mt pleasant I was surprised to see how many spas there were. It's insane!!

My actual experience was great! I actually really enjoyed it! (mind you I have an easier time talking to a random rather than a stranger I'm spending time with) After a while Alex(the one helping me) and I started talking and it was very real and she was great!

Since I'm not so much into getting nails done I don't know when I will find myself going back but if I was I would definitely find myself making my next appointment!

Also I LOVE shellac :)

So in reality you will walk by this place....even though you are looking for I know I did...even after I had been inside. It's right beside izakaya.
This pace has multiple names. One stop seat/stop and seat/ tea shop

So now the real review. The food is AMAZING!!!
Everything I've tried there my stomach has been very pleased. My favourite is the spicy chicken. It's a meal it's self. It comes with well the spicy chicken, rice, green beans(best beans I've ever eaten) and tofu. The portions are huge and food doesn't taste like its the same sauce with different meat.

They have a HUGE selection in bubble teas though I have a particular one that I always order, mango slushi with tapioca, year around. Note to anyone out there who likes slushi it's under the ice part of the bubble tea menu. (Had an issue the first time I went)

The servers are very nice I feel like she knows the boyfriend and I by face. But sometimes there is the English barrier.

I'm not stingy with my stars I swear!

So why two you ask?
Well my good friend... because I feel like a restaurant should excel in all parts esp if its catering to as many people as Lin Garden does... and simply doesn't.

I feel sorry for you if you are going/went for sit down meal there, honestly one of the worst things you can do! I have done it a few times and I have definitely learned the hard way.

But their food is pretty good I really LOVE the Chilli Chicken along with every person out there.
