We had a lovely table right by the water. The hostess offered us blankets which was a nice touch as it was a cooler night. All of the food was delicious and the portions were fairly generous.

We ordered the smacked cucumber salad, shrimp toast, chicken dumplings, general tso’s chicken, rice rolls, ginger scallion fish, four foot noodle, and we had to try all 3 desserts. All were phenomenal and the service really was impeccable. Can’t wait to go back!!!
