WHY????? Why did they close?!? it was amazing! I had my 55th birthday celebration here. All the plants and lanterns are just outside in the elements. How do i get ahold of the former owners?!?

Delicious food, stellar service, and a super cute atmosphere. The kind of place you want to come back to—again and again.

This place used to be a favorite but the quality of food and atmosphere has declined. Everything looked and tasted the same with too much soy sauce, over cooked, and greasy (lobster fried rice, noodles with shrimp, and walnut shrimp). Separately, the calamari was so overcooked, greasy, and inedible. The shrimp dim sum was the only redeeming dish that was enjoyed. The restaurant was practically empty at 8pm on a Saturday night. You are better off order takeout from a hole in the wall.

Peking duck was inedibly disgusting. Be smarter than I was and heed the low ratings. Duck was as dry as jerky— but without the flavor! Look forward to this place failing.

This place continues to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in L.A. I’ve been coming for a few years and they never disappoint.

Underrated Chinese food on the west side. Decent portions and food service.

It had been a few years since I had been back and the food has vastly improved. Great location. We did the Sunday, Dim Sum half price brunch. Delicious! The fried hargow and fried turnip cake were really unique and so good. The lobster dumpling was tasy and the presentation so cool. I was really impressed overall. We ordered seven substantial dishes with a pot of tea and free refill on hot water. It was $20 each with tax!! Awesome! Worth it. Will be back.

Came for lunch. Greasy and not good. Food tasted old like it had been cooked days ago. Had the beef and eggplant and it was sitting in a pool of grease. Really gross and couldn’t even finish it. Even the brown rice was crusty and old.

Fusion Chinese, not traditional. I enjoyed dim sum items: shumai, lobster dumpling. Lettuce wrap appetizer was great as well. Char sui bao's have too much dough, not enough stuffing inside. Overall, I'd lean towards appetizers and main entrees.

Food is okay - not the best of Chinese cuisine, but not poor in any way. Presentation was very good. Service and staff friendliness was exceptional.

Very disappointed of this experience. The restaurant was shorts-staffed and short-tempered. Service was so slow, it took forever for staff to get our order. And then food came out with a snail's pace. No serving spoons with our entrees. Food was practically slammed on our table. I had to ask them to cancel 2-3 of our entrees because it was taking so long to make and we ran out of patience. I don't recommend coming here.
