The hostess was very kind to us when we first came in and was very accommodating even though we did not have a reservation. The decor is really nice and the food was great! The shrimp spring rolls were amazing! We had a really nice dinner and plan to come back soon.

The ambiance of this restaurant is immaculate! The taro fries were crispy, and both dips complemented them!
I got the FED Spicy Shrimp Wonton Noodles and the broth was so rich.
You MUST get the Jasmine Milk Tea Budino!!!!

Awesome place, great vibe, friendly staff, amazing food! Definitely worth trying. So glad to have found this spot. Parking is annoyingly expensive but available. If you can, take the train to avoid the $30 parking fee. Food was wonderful though! Very big servings if you get the boards for 2. I personally think it actually feeds 4 Lol!
