Excellent dining experience here. I fully engaged in tasting various dishes - well flavored and well served. All ingredients are fresh and well taken care of. Edamame dumplings are so far amazing and eye opening dishes.

korean beef fried rice was excellent.. general tsos soup dumplings were as well.. black pepper beef was really good.. the sashimi was really good as well.. tea smoked spare ribs were good not super sweet and super tender.. the sichuan pork wontons were good but the general tsos soup dumplings blew them away..the cashew chicken was a let down it was more of a chicken with broccoli with cashews and a bunch of other veggies thrown in

If I could give more stars for everything, I would. Just my second time here when I’m visiting for work, but they knock it out of the park every time. If I could have the for wasabi mashed potatoes at every meal, I would. I’ve been made aware we’re returning when we have our quarterly meetings in July. Yay!!

One of my best dining experiences in a long time. From the arrival to be seated promptly to the drinks being perfect and the food being even better. If you are looking for a date night spot to attend, this is definitely the vibe you want.

Attended a well organized group dinner. From the wine, martini, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, SERVICE, environment to the bathrooms… everything was OUTSTANDING. I was blown away how delightful it all was. Because I didn’t do the ordering, forgive me on not knowing what things were called but shrimp soft bun type things were the highlight. But then so were the dumplings, and pot stickers and tuna… I’m not from here locally but I will figure out how to get back.

Wow this place is great! We split the tar tar spring rolls, the general Tsos dumplings and the crab fried rice. All of which was fantastic, but the dumplings were my favorite. That was plenty of food for 2 people. Our server was very attentive. We did not drink, so our bill was way more reasonable than I expected for such a nice establishment. Only downside is a small bathroom. Would love to return!

Come in on a Sunday night to a dim lit restaurant with a beautiful Buddhist statue centerpiece that brought the restaurant together no matter where you sat. The wait staff and even the manager walking around while we ate were super friendly and explained all the dishes we got. Started off the night with the pork belly bao buns and the dim sum sampler. All the wrappings used for the dumpling were soft and fluffy. These dumplings were not skimped on and every single one had a good amount of filling that each bite was super delicious. These dumplings were all brought together a nice light citrus soy sauce that went well with every piece. Personally went with the Char Grilled Aged Beef and it was cooked perfectly to what I asked for. The pieces were evenly cooked and just melted in my mouth that I had to stop myself from eating multiple pieces. It was paired with a mountain of super thin and crispy Szechuan fries. The Chinese Sausage fried rice and the Cheung Fun were the perfect side dishes to pair with the meal. Both were savory but the fried rice was much better and would highly recommend. To finish off the night we went with the donuts and the 3 different sauces. That cream cheese filling though… I definitely had a spoon fill just of it. They had a nice selection of Asian beers that were all super good and worth the try. Overall a great restaurant to celebrate an occasion with delicious foods and good ambiance. Would definitely be back!!

Today I ordered takeout from one of my favorite places. Takeout works. But the dine in experience is priceless and was sorry that I couldn’t experience it today. The food is always YUM. My absolute favs are the lamb chops and lobster egg rolls. Thank you to Graig (I hope spelling is correct) for making today’s experience an extra elite experience. I appreciate your consideration and hospitality. Dr. Sherry C.

Me and my boyfriend got sat in the corner downstairs. Did not get to experience any vibes of the restaurant. Our appetizers took 45 mins to come out, our drinks took about 20 mins and our food took over an hour. The food was very good, but the service was terrible.
