Bar atmosphere, shrimps were nasty, overcooked and burned. Not seasoned, not fresh but freezer burned. Maybe it was a bad night but money was not worth it.

Dont waste your time with this place!!!!I just tried to get on the website and was blocked by the company for no reason because I checked previous reviews. If a place does this for no reason they dont need anyone's business!!!!!

Food is good but communication is trash. We walked in and placed a to go order - we were told food would be ready in 20min. It took 1.5hrs. Short staffed okay. Lmk that it’s going to take longer than usual. Set the expectation for the customer. Don’t tell me 20min and it’s going to be waaaaay longer. Respect my time. At least give me a banana pudding for the inconvenience - damn.

Beware It’s a scam and false advertisement, don’t go.Everything was HORRIBLE food is false advertisement. My hubby ordered the steak and shrimp and instead of a steak that was advertised they gave strips a complete joke and the food was extremely dry they offered 6 shrimps for the platter but instead we got 5 mediocre sized ones. Yams were nasty af they literally put salt and pepper in the yams, yuck. I literally just left 10 mins ago. I don’t even think my dogs will eat this. The original or last owners definitely cooked way better than these new folks. Step up y'all game and do better with the food.

Place no longer wants business. They hang up you. You have to call two and three times for them to answer. There is a menu online with platters. You ask for those platters that they list a d they say it's not true. Staff wants to upcharge you by selling those things separately. Young female answered. Very nasty. Much better when the previous owners answered.

Look, please don't sleep on this spot. The food is really tasty. Not a lot of salt, just the write amount of seasoning. I've purchased the terriyaki salmon w/ or w/o grilled shrimp with yellow rice w/ very little onions & green peppers. (ask for xtra sauce, so good).It comes in a bowl which is still just enough. The other meals I've tried was very good as well. The atmosphere is subtle. Grown people place. The people are very nice without attitudes. (The ones you want to punch in the face) Not this place. It's more laid back. Prices are not bad at all. If you want something good to eat on a fast go including good food. I dare you to try them. Hint: They close on Tuesday as all Chinese restaurants do. Hey, they deserve a day off as well.

Parking: Gets a little busy on the weekends.

Kid-friendliness: All of the workers are friendly.

Ever since the club aspect of the bar has recommenced, the quality of the food has dwindled significantly. I will not be eating here any longer which is sad because this used to be one of my favorite places.

How do you stir and serve mac & cheese when the milk is completely spoiled. I immediately smelled it when I opened my 20$ platter. That was my second & LAST TIME THERE!!!!!!!

I ordered a Chicken Ceasar Salad and it was horrible. It didnt have any Parmesan Cheese, large cucumber slices and tomatoes. The chicken was cool. When i called back to ask for an adjustment I wound up on hold for 20 mins! The service and the food were terrible. I would rather starve than eat there.

The staff & building was a vibe, but the food was not hitting. I ordered salmon, & compared to a lot of places in the city, it was not great. It came with yellow rice, broccoli, & mash potatoes. Gravy which was unnecessary for fish, & a ton of onions (also unnecessary for the dish) & it pissed me off that it was INSTANT powder mash. Maybe the other food is better.
