“Absolutely delicious place to go to in Monterey Bay! Went here after a visit with friends to the nearby aquarium and the food hit the spot. Waiter was absolutely great in helping us get our food to us. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone in the area!”

“This will be my go to restaurant when I’m in Carmel. I had the Szechuan beef with a side of brown rice. The veggies were perfectly cooked and still crisp, the sauce was less spicy than I anticipated, and unexpectedly sweet. I’m not sure if that’s how it is usually, or if this was their own modification. The beef was very good. The brown rice was, dare I say it; overcooked. I make brown rice at home on a weekly basis in my rice cooker, so I know it doesn’t have to be puffed up like it was, but it was not mushy or inedible. Next time I’ll try the white rice since they might cycle through that faster. Next time I go I’ll ask if they can make the dish a little spicier.”

“Love the green matcha milk tea with boba! My new favorite drink…”
While U.S. restaurants battle rising costs and cautious consumers, international chains are rushing in the opposite direction. They're coming to America at roughly double the pace of a decade ago.
More Americans are trying Asian foods that go beyond their usual favorites like pad thai and California rolls. Most U.S. counties (over 70%) now have at least one Asian restaurant, according to the National Restaurant Association's (NRA) 2025 trends report. Restaurantji research backs this up, showing there are 19,618 Japanese restaurants and about 36,000 Chinese restaurants across the country.
