Love the food. Every plate is a creative approach to Asian food, not the typical boring plate. I like the new place too!

Best spot that I know of for vegan Chinese food in CT.
They moved like two weeks ago just down the street, if you have the location marked the marker moved which made it slightly confusing. When I showed up to the old spot my heart sunk for a moment.
Vegetarian options: The vegan boneless ribs are my favorite
Parking: I think you can park on the adjacent street, there's less space in the parking lot than the old location. But the restaurant itself is a bit roomier

Checked out the new location and WOW... it is stunning! A very cool vibe to it and they offer plenty of options for drinks. The food was amazing as always. We will definitely continue to come back. I absolutely loved it!

Delicious food
Heard a lot about this restaurant and decided to give it a try on Friday night for some takeout. Their new location is very convenient and on the border of Hartford and West Hartford. Staff was pleasant and service was speedy. The food however, it was mid and just OK especially for the price point. The rice was a bit undercooked and hard. The lo mein lacked flavor and was rather oily. The chicken wings were fried a bit too hard, which made them very dry. Overall, it could’ve been better, especially since this was opening day at their new location. I may give them another try in the future, and while it wasn’t terrible, I’ve had better.
Parking: Mostly offstreet parking. Very small parking area mainly for handicap.

The new location is beautiful! I came with my mom for the first time and everything was great. The food was so fresh and delicious and the owner was so welcoming. We will absolutely be coming back. We don’t live too close but we will always travel for great food!

Parking at the new location is an issue with only 3 dedicated spots out front, 1 spot on Farmington Ave and a neighborhood street to tick off the locals.
I heard they moved for more space, just feels like they saved a buck utilizing the adjacent neighborhood as their parking lot.
Ordered takeout for 4 adults and total came to $140. Butterfly is the competition right down the road and where I will be going from now on. Same order there is $65 and tastes basically the same.
Parking: There are 3 dedicated parking spots out front and street parking on the adjacent neighborhood.
Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly

So I came here the other day for the first time spend 80 dollars. Rice was had a burnt taste to it, food had no flavor. They don’t throw anything in like no extra egg roll, no drink. Nothing… food and service was just terrible all together.
