Hiring on JOB TODAY since October, 2026
After months of dreaming, planning, and perfecting every recipe, our family is excited to open our doors and share something special with yours. On October 23, 2026, we proudly invite the Newark community to celebrate the Grand Opening of our minority and new family-owned takeout restaurant. Around our family table, food has always been more than a meal. It has been laughter after long days, stories shared between generations, and the simple joy of bringing people together. That same spirit is baked into everything we do. Our fried chicken isn't just fried chicken. It's the recipe that sparked friendly family debates about who makes it best, inspired Sunday gatherings, and had friends showing up "just to say hello" around dinner time. Now, we're sharing that flavor with the entire Newark community.
