I enjoyed my experience. Vivien really went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. The food was good. We ordered three different chicken dishes: Cashew Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, and lemon Chicken. All of them tasted unique. Their YanYan Special rice was great and had a good amount of shrimp. The over all experience was to my liking.

Food is always delicious and the service is great. Can get a bit crowded during prime dinner hours but there's always take out if you'd like to eat at home
