We visited from out of town while on business. We went two days in a row. The food came very fast during lunch. It was delicious! Jose was very friendly and attentive!

Place has gone down the toilet. Careless staff, food was bland a portions small. A shadow of a establishment it once was!

it's was... okay. not the best Asian food I've had. we ordered takeout: wings and crab Rangoon appetizers and shrimp lo mein and general tsos chicken with fried rice. the wings and shrimp were very dry and overcooked. the fried rice was not something I'd considered fried rice. the rest tasted ok, nothing special. overpriced for the quality and portions.

My husband and I experienced true quality customer service! Jose was Great! He never missed a beat from start to finish. The food was cooked to perfection and displayed in an eye catching manner. This has become one of our New Favorites.

Nice place but they serve dog food for how much their charging. Got the surf n turf and they butchered it by putting raspberry sauce on the side or whatever it was steak and shrimp were definitely not seasoned at all. You can go down the road and find 10x better tasting options for cheaper.

I've been a few times and gotten several different dishes and appetizers when I went. The food is good, however it's not consistent with flavor. I also was told by someone else that the spiciness wasn't very hot even when asking for the highest level. I'm not one for too much spice, so the heat level was fine for me, but I did try their dish and it wasn't really too hot for me either.
The severs are amazing and very friendly! They have live music on certain nights and they're really good too. The restaurant itself is ok, it's not very dark and seems like you can almost see everyone in the restaurant from where you're sitting, and they seems uncomfortable to me.
I recommend you at least try the restaurant one time and form your own opinion.

My friend ordered a blackberry martini in the bartender was on point. I have never had anything bad off of the menu. Best place for live entertainment.

The restaurant has a good location and spacious inside. It serves a combination of various Asian food, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai. The salt and pepper calamari tastes very good.

Great bartender service. She's the only one working that station and she got everyone's order correctly. The old fashioned was on point. I wish I could say the same with tomyum soup and pad Thai. The former was way too spicy (and I like spicy) and there's only a hint of sour. The pad Thai was more sweet than tangy. Taste like sweet and sour sauce was use instead of tamarind. I guess the red color should have been a giveaway. Will try their other menu the next time. Let's see how it goes.
