I absolutely love this place. Great for families, great for going solo. The steaks are always cooked at the right temp and the sides are amazing. The service is top tier and everyone who works here is awesome and considerate! Will repeatedly come here.

First time and food was great,Steak was perfect. The only issue i had was the Cheese cake was supposed to have strawberries and it was just a strawberry syrup no fruit. Would be bad. Spend $90 for two.

We always choose to eat here when we have something to celebrate! The whole experience is always so positive, from the kind staff (our waiter, DJ, was so attentive and hard-working!) to the delicious food (I could fill up on just the chips and Cho sauce!). Definitely give them a try, you won't be disappointed :)

If you're looking for the best burger in Kinston, stop what you're doing and get to How II. I had a burger here that was absolutely perfect—cooked exactly how I wanted, seasoned just right, and packed with flavor. Every bite was juicy, well-balanced, and just downright delicious. You can tell they put real care into their food. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and a burger that’ll have you planning your next visit before you even finish your meal. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere is extremely formal, very upscale considering the area its located. The Ribeye steak is outstanding, seasoned so well and so tender that it almost melts in your mouth. The filet Mignon steak is even more tender than that and marbled just so, it is even beautiful to look at. The servers are all phenomenonal, they all serve with a smile and vigor. Most of them are women but there is one or two men there if that's important to you. This restaurant isn't just for Chinese food, their American and fusion dishes are to die for. The dessert is dressed in such a way that it seems as though a five star restaurant prepared it. If you are stopping through Kinston definitely stop here, it's worth your time and money.

Outstanding! Traveling through and made the right pick at 8:30 at night. Attentive, good vibe, friendly bartender, and spot on meal to top it off. Do yourself a favor and stop in, I’m very glad I did.

The service here is incredible, you almost forget that it's in Kinston! The staff is always so pleasant, especially the bartender KP. Not to mention the food is spectacular, the plating is always divine, seems like they have a legitimate chef back there coming up with the daily special. Not to mention desserts that are outta this world. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend. Their steaks are phenomenal and spiced so amazingly. This is as close to fine dining as you can get in Kinston.

Vegetarian options: The streaks and American food are just as good as their Asian dishes.

$70.00 for 2 people and food poisoning to go with it is too much. My son and I both got sick and couldn't finish our meal. I can't recommend this place to anyone.
