    Place was really new. I got the Asian salad and rib entree. Salad was really good but the ribs tasted off….like it was made 2 days ago and it was reheated in a microwave. Service was great! People there are really nice. Just wished the food was as good as the service.

    Had been wanting to try this place for a while, went for my birthday. Service was good, nice atmosphere, food was very disappointing and way overpriced for it to be so. The fried rice was good but the chicken wontons used actual chicken sausage and tasted terrible (sent back) as did the pastrami egg rolls. Hardly any lobster in the lobster fried rice. Gratuity is already added in each bill. I probably won’t be returning.

    Upmarket prices for greasy takeout served on a plate instead of cardboard box. The atmosphere is great for dates but the food was average. The meal size hot & sour soup did have a kick and the most edible thing was the crab fried rice. But the greasy pok choy was overcooked/soggy and the dumplings were drowned in so much oil they were worse than microwave dumplings at the frozen food aisle.

    Ambience is fantastic, restaurant was busy. Chinese was a light option before we fly home , didn't want another steak. Food we ate was very good but felt menu was a bit limited. Kids found it difficult to get a course. Server was fantastic though.
