    Fusion Chinese, not traditional. I enjoyed dim sum items: shumai, lobster dumpling. Lettuce wrap appetizer was great as well. Char sui bao’s have too much dough, not enough stuffing inside. Overall, I’d lean towards appetizers and main entrees.

    Food is okay - not the best of Chinese cuisine, but not poor in any way. Presentation was very good. Service and staff friendliness was exceptional.

    Very disappointed of this experience. The restaurant was shorts-staffed and short-tempered. Service was so slow, it took forever for staff to get our order. And then food came out with a snail's pace. No serving spoons with our entrees. Food was practically slammed on our table. I had to ask them to cancel 2-3 of our entrees because it was taking so long to make and we ran out of patience. I don't recommend coming here.

    There’s a 50 character minimum to rate the restaurant and I was taught that if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it.

    It was colder inside the restaurant than outside. We had to keep our coats on and we were still cold. As soon as each dish came out it was immediately cold and not appetizing. The atmosphere was loud and confusing. Loud Brazilian music in a Chinese restaurant? Service was attentive for a moment but then no attention at all to finding out if more hot tea was needed, dishes needed to be cleared, or any further drinks or food was needed. The restaurant was not that busy. Staff was friendly but obviously lacked experience and professionalism.

    Good as always was good and fresh. Biggest grip was the music they were playing was full of F-Bombs and thought it was very inappropriate for a restaurant filled with families enjoying dinner.

    This is a great spot for any vegans/vegetarians. They have a separate vegan menu that had many options with great texture/flavors. Nice ambiance and service inside.

    The food was good. Service awful. They were doing an event that night and they should have closed the restaurant much earlier. Some food cold. Charged for a drink they forgot to bring. Don’t know if we will return.

    Tasty generous portions, we had the lunch specials and they were large. You could have gotten two specials and easily fed three people.
