I really wanted to like this place, but I’d be lying to myself if I said it was good :(
Food was expensive and portion sizes were not that big. Somehow, everything we were served came out at room temperature. Not fridge cold, but certainly not hot either. I can forgive all of those things if the food was actually good. It was not :( The flavors were borderline bland, and, combined with the tepid temperature, does not make for a very pleasant eating experience. The $59 half Meizhou Peking duck was cooked okay, but tasted completely unseasoned :( I tried to make it work with the hoisin sauce and the scallions and whatnot, but I really couldn’t.
The place was pretty full for an early Sunday dinner, and we were actually one of only three tables that weren’t Chinese, so I expected the food to be much better than it was. Not to many all the great reviews on Google and TikTok.
I understand that restaurants can have bad days too and should be given atleast a second chance, but this place is just too expensive for a return visit. Sorry :(

I had an amazing dining experience at this Chinese restaurant. Every dish was full of authentic flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with real skill. The portions were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. My favorites were the stir-fried noodles and the spicy beef — both incredibly delicious. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. It’s the kind of place you can visit for a casual meal or bring friends for a special dinner. I will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

Delicious food. Excellent service. Pretty and clean restaurant. The only thing is that their menu is like a book and there are no prices next to the item. Rice and everything is separate.so it might be a bit pricey.

The food is hit and miss, but all so over priced. We ordered a $150 sea cucumber, while the ingredients are fresh, the sea cucumber was undercooked and the sauce had no flavor, such a waste of money!

Very disappointed at the food.
This used to be our go-to place for friends gathering and dating years ago. We are so disappointed now. The food was obviously pre-made. The pork meat was very dry, duck was lukewarm, the duck skin was not crisp.
I won’t come back again.

I’ve visited this restaurant a few times in the past and their food quality has gone down. I’m very disappointed that it has become oily and less clean.

I pick this restaurant as I had a good experience previously. I remember the environment was nice and decorated well. HOWEVER! When I sit down, the seats are so worn out!!!! Worse than anything I could imagine!!! So shameful to host my business lunch there! Hope the owner can see this review as a wake up call to do some updates! At least to replace these seats!

Plenty of parking but can be crowded, especially on the weekend. Fantastic service from the server, details and attentive. The foods are very tasty and fresh. The duck sliced right in front of you and well plated. Great dinner overall.

The food was noticeably getting worse and smaller portion throughout the past 2 years. The soups taste bland, and the roasted duck is too oily to be called authentic.
As for service, water was not promptly served til we asked, which was already an hour into our meal.

The food literally came out within 2 minutes of ordering which is wonderful. But the Kung Pao chicken, the special fried rice, and the sizzling shrimp, all were very bland, very very little flavor at all, and the Kung Pao chicken was very saucy. What you would think would make it overly flavorful but it actually had no flavor. Service was incredibly fast they are very busy, expensive. Not sure why. Sadly we were recommended this place by friends and we ordered three of the items they sent pictures of. So I'm not sure why it had no flavor

the vegetarian options here are incredible, the flexibility they have with seating large groups with relatively low (if any) wait is wonderful, across the board top notch restaurant.
