We got take out from here tonight and the food was terrible. the Pad Thai was very bland. There was no fish sauce at all and very scarce with ingredients. The Lo Mein was very dry as well. If you want good Chinese food, look somewhere else!

We were lucky to get a table as we had no reservations. We got a crappy table but that's on us. Food was very fresh and the service was good.Overall good experience, we felt rushed and our food came out at random times.Our server was ok.Foods good and the prices are fair!

BIG MEH… food was bad. The Peking duck was obviously frozen duck flash fried when served with flour tortillas on the side. Which was 37.99. Not worth it. Our waiter was great, he was so friendly and welcoming. This place is good if you like to drink but the food does not match up. This place is good for the typical clientele that don’t seem to mind mediocrity. However if you like good Asian food, don’t go here.

Every dish I ordered was top notch. The service exceeded my expectations. Superior to other restaurant service. The restaurant is setup nicely with a bar off to the side in a separate room. There is an outside deck overlooking the river for outside dining or cocktails. They offer karaoke on Thursday nights. Bathrooms are modern and clean. I highly recommend the sushi dishes.

I just tried this restaurant once for lunch and once for dinner both times I had very good experiences with both food and service. The owner is a very friendly guy who does check in on the customers to make sure they're enjoying their experience. I tried the Mongolian lamb as well as many of the sushi options and they were all perfect.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are provided if you tell the waitress
My wife and I both took 2 bites and the texture of the pepper steak was all fatty, rice was very dry and bland. Didn’t taste very fresh at all. This was on 3/30/24. They were surprised that we didn’t want to take a doggy bag.

The food was good but my favorite thing about the place was Melissa our bartender but I notice her supervisor Linda was very pushy on her ! I thought that was so unprofessional!! Linda was telling her what to do in front of us when Melissa had it all together and doing a great job ! Linda was getting in her way while she was doing drinks for her customers ! I loved Melissa our bartender but I don't see her lasting if you have her supervisor down her throat plus the chef telling her what to do. When Melissa was handling it so well and doing a great job! Thanks Melissa for my Cosmo drink delicious and my husband old fashioned ! Great job! I hope you last but don't blame you if you leave ! Management should appreciate their great employees to make their business prosper! Thank you Melissa !

After counting down the days for this place to open, I was finally excited to visit! We made our inaugural visit on a busy Friday night. We were told that it would be about a 20-minute wait for four people which is surprising considering the amount of people that were in the lobby waiting. After we were seated, I ordered an espresso martini as well as some appetizers. We ordered the Crab Rangoon, the salt and pepper, chicken wings, and the spring rolls. For my entrée. I ordered the bento box with sesame chicken, fried rice, and California roll. The food tasted fresh, and I think it is a good value for what you get. Our server would come and check on us often, which is considerate due to how many people were in the restaurant. The restaurant has two levels, and we were seated in the first level towards the Merrimack River. I can't wait to come back during the summer to hopefully sit by the patio.
