"We’ve wanted to try 2nd Language for a while and finally went the other night. It did NOT disappoint. We went on a Tuesday and were immediately seated. We had the best server. He was extremely personable and enjoyable to talk to. I believe his name was Jesse if I remember correctly. We started with the dumplings and they were the best that I’ve ever had. They came with delicious sauce. Then I ordered Ahi Tuna and my boyfriend ordered the Birria Ramen. There were so many great choices though. We will have to go back because there’s more we want to try. The portions are huge. I barely finished mine and my boyfriend brought some ramen home. We were too full for dessert but the options looked amazing. For a nicer sit down restaurant the prices were extremely reasonable.” - Caitlyn
