It was amazing got there 45 minutes early and they were able to take us anyways. Food was amazing.
We had an amazing time. Service was amazing and attentive. Food was so bomb. The portions will definitely have you taking boxes home to enjoy later.
It's good. They tell you that the food comes out when cooked and not at the same time which is ok but not ideal. Price is super reasonable.
10 out of 10 service. everything is priced very well and it is a great bang for your buck.
We were there for a birthday and had a large party. They don't do parties 6 so we made 2 reservations for 8. They were very accommodating and we were able to all sit together. The place has a great atmosphere and great music. Food was great! The entire experience was great. Thank you!
We really enjoyed every single item that we got from the menu. Each item was very reasonably priced and truly delicious. The ambiance is so unique and fun, we would definitely go back again!
I was really excited and looking forward to eating here. The place is very small but cute. The service is great and quick. As for the taste of the food I guess I was expecting it to be more authentic and flavorful. My fiance and I think it was lacking flavor. It was nice to try it once but I don't think we would go back.
The wait is long, we had a reservation and still had to wait a bit. And the restaurant is very small so you have to wait outside. But our length of wait was worth it. The food was absolutely wonderful. The portions are family style so you get plenty of food. We ordered the walnut shrimp, beef and broccoli, and got a fried rice. All of that was great and the following day. The Szechuan hot chicken wings are not spicy at all and they had the perfect crisp to them. The crab rangoons were just okay. There is not much filling in it, it is mostly just the wonton wrapper. I would not recommend getting them because it not worth the money for how little you get, unless you enjoy wonton wrappers. Everything else was really good. The food comes out as it is ready so you don’t get everything at once. It does come out pretty fast though. The restaurant its self is decorated so nicely and the staff was very friendly.

Service was excellent, everyone was very charming and charismatic. Food was served promptly, the overall service had great timing and staff would appropriately come in to check on the table. Special appreciation for the hostess who was helpful with questions and service.
I’ve ordered pick up several times from here over the last year or so. The food has been super oily and their veggies and fried rice have been bland. The taste for the entrees is pretty good but the after taste reminds me of canola oil.
2.5 star quality but 4 star prices…

My husband and I had this restaurant on our must-visit list for quite some time, and we were happy to finally try it—it did not disappoint. I highly recommend making reservations at least a few days in advance, as they tend to fill up quickly and walk-in wait times can be long. The food was very fresh and flavorful, though it didn’t feel entirely authentic to traditional Chinese cuisine. We especially enjoyed the Szechuan green beans and the Szechuan hot chicken wings, which were perfectly crispy. The table service was professional and welcoming, and the ambiance was romantic and intimate. Overall, this is a great spot for a nice date night.

This was my first time dining here and I had very high expectations from all the IG recommendations and reviews from people. Other than the music playlist and the interior decor, the experience left much to be desired. I LOVE Chinese food and beef with broccoli has been my go-to dish since childhood. It's a simple yet flavorful dish that is a pretty good proxy for the rest of the menu. The beef was tough and burned and the sauce was not appetizing. I'm not sure what happened with the preparation but three of our dishes had a very slimy consistency in terms of the sauce and were lukewarm. The fried rice was unevenly cooked with some parts mushy and others hard. I will say that the service was solid with the staff being attentive. I'm not sure if there was a change in kitchen staff but sadly this will be the first and last time that I dine here.
Everything is made to order, food will take a while but it was a wait before our server got to us
Made a reservation a month in advanced for a birthday dinner. Was seated early that was nice. We loved the interior. Had one high chair that was missing a strap. Noticed there was no cocktails on the menu which was shocking. The green beans and Dan Dan noodles were delicious. All other items we ordered had higher expectations for. The service seemed to care more about togos we never had one server just a bunch of different people coming over. Do not do anything for birthday.
Some of the best food. The staff was fantastic, price is affordable for the serving size, vibes are great (atmosphere is unique). Absolutely worth the hype!! Would go there again many many times, stilling thinking about the cucumber salad 🤤
