The no-outside-drinks policy makes no sense. It doesn’t affect whether I order food, and if you don’t offer a drink I enjoy, why not allow customers to bring their own? I had a Mango Sticky Rice Matcha drink from Nep, a restaurant under the same parent company, and I still wasn’t allowed to bring it inside. The policy feels unnecessarily restrictive and doesn’t create a better customer experience.

Our first time here, and we had a great experience! The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. My husband’s favorite was the braised pork over rice, our teen boy loved the lamb dip, and my favorite was the mango forbidden ice snow. Prices are very reasonable for the food quality and overall experience. Good to know they take reservations.We’ll definitely be back!

For a fine dining style kind of restaurant. QUA really stands out with their foods. Very unique combination of flavors. I tried the Crab Noodle, Dong Po Pork and a few deserts. Overall, very good with very reasonable prices. Clean and very well decorated area as well, great for business meeting and catching up with friend.
One minus is that the receptionist gal seems like she did not have a good day for some reason.

Mai provided exceptional service during our visit to Qua Contemporary Chinese. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire meal. She checked on us regularly, offered great recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. Her positive attitude and outstanding hospitality truly stood out. We had a wonderful dining experience, and we will definitely come back because of her. Thank you, Mai, for making our visit so memorable!

It’s a beautiful restaurant. Everything was very nice and service was great. However, the food was mediocre and missed the mark for me. The flavors were missing something for us.

I like this place. We came here for my Aunt's 80th surprise birthday party. The food was great and the servers were friendly and professional. I'm not really sure how much things were because my cousin and her husband paid for everything. 😊

A Chinese restaurant with a lovely interior and a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. I love the ambience here. The light creates a comfortable, warm environment with large windows that filter in a lovely natural light. The bathroom is new and super clean with mouthwash.
The food was okay, though. The food was acceptable, but some dishes were mild for their spice/seasoning, and I felt like some of the dishes were missing a hot, savory bite to them. For the price, I only found the mala lamb dip to be particularly good. If it wasn’t happy hour, I wouldn’t consider this spot.

I love almost everything Kei Concept touches, and safe to say this restaurant is one of their concepts that I definitely enjoy.
Parking: Free parking lot, but it can be difficult to find an open spot during lunch & dinner rushes.
Ambiance/Environment: I love the interior. It’s very spacious with a comfortable waiting area, plenty of indoor and bar seating, and outer area seating. The bar is eye catching, and the decor itself is aesthetic. Since the restaurant is newer, all the tables and chairs are nice and clean.
Service: We booked a reservation and were seated in a timely manner. You can book reservations through Open Table. Thank you Kody for taking care of my date and I! He checked on us a couple times. Throughput was also quick after ordering.
Food & drinks:
1) Chicken Cartilage w/ Mala BBQ Spice - Starting off with appetizers. These were seasoned perfectly, and the Mala BBQ sauce made it even more delicious. Personally, I don’t prefer cartilage. Each piece had cartilage, and it was difficult for me to chew.
2) Dan Dan Sesame Noodle - This included ground pork, sichuan chili oil, cucumbers, and scallions. What makes Dan Dan noodles is the sauce. Their sauce has a hint of spice and slight creaminess. It was a bit too oily for my liking, but it was seasoned well and made the dish sooo delicious.
3) Forbidden Jade - I get anything with tequila in it lol. This included blanco tequila, bergamot, del santo, lime, bitter melon, cucumber, peppercorn, and sichuan salt. It was definitely strong, fruity, and citrusy.
Pricing: Prices reflect elevated dining. Of course it’s more than your average Chinese restaurant. It’s okay to treat yourself to a nice dining experience once in a while. I’d definitely come back to try their other dishes! Make sure to sign up for their rewards!
