Reviews
The food was great, the staff was nice and attentive, the place was very clean, and the atmosphere was warm! I'd highly recommend going here to anyone looking for a nice dinner! Their menu is huge—you can order anything from traditional Chinese dishes to sushi! I'd recommend trying their spring rolls; they were very good!

Recently had my second visit here, and now understand why I was hesitant to give it another try. The server asked us how many, once we responded she walked away without a word, and placed her hand on the back of a chair while looking away and stood there. In general not attentive at all. It seemed like she couldn't care less about anything. The food, well it was equally bad. The general tso lunch special tasted like ketchup. The duck sauce tasted like ketchup. It was all just bad.
This is by far the best Asian food around. Not only is the food delicious and the portions are more then a generous size the service is even better. We are always greeted kindly and with a smile. I Highly recommend this restaurant.We always make a reservation as the food is so good they are always packed with customers.
The food has definitely gone down hill since they opened. The sushi used to be good but now the rice all falls apart when you try to pick it up. We went there at 5:15 on a Saturday night, the place was empty so we asked for a table, they said they were booked with reservations, so we ordered food to go. At 6:00 while we were still waiting a couple walked in with no reservations and were seated in 5 minutes. When we told the girl we were waiting 45 minutes and they just walked in they said "oh yeah, someone just canceled ". Poor customer service, i won't be back.
Great time. Red curry was very good not very spicy for heat fans. Home style tofu was great and crispy. Shrimp dumpling app was very tasty.
We arrived for lunch and we were the first table, besides a man sitting by himself.
The waitress came out asked us how many and then walked over to a table, tapped on it and slowly walked away. I figured she was telling us to sit there so we did. No words, no smile, no expression.
She brought out the noodles with duck sauce and took our drink orders. The duck sauce tasted like a very sweet Ketchup. The noodles were the kind from a bulk bag sold at markets.
I ordered a hot tea. It was tea, no review needed for that.
I ordered the orange chicken with fried rice and paid the upcharge for the wonton soup.
The soup broth tasted like onion. It wasn't bad, it's just not what I expect from wonton soup. The wontons were extremely delicate which I like, but they were SO delicate that they already were falling apart in the broth. The filling was average.
Now onto the main course... the orange chicken tasted like, again, ketchup. Actually it tasted like ketchup and cloves. I didn't taste anything orange at all. I have to say that it was pretty bad.
The fried rice was average. My husband didn't like his, but I didn't mind it.
In summary, the food was below average and the service was even worse.
We waited over 30 minutes for our sub-mediocre food and our waitress couldn't have walked slower or have been more emotionless if she tried.
I agree with the other reviewer who said they didn't get what all the hype was about. I totally agree. What IS all the hype about??
The manager is wonderful. She took on the challenge to host 60 people for my daughter's 13th birthday. We decided on family style service. We had a drink station that was BYOB. The food was great, service was perfect. She paced the food perfectly.
This is a new place. The owner is a very nice lady and tries her best to be a good hostess while you wait for your pickup order. We had a Pink Lady sushi roll, which was beautiful. Also ordered a beef Pad Thai with very generous portions. The interior is very beautiful. Can't wait to sit inside!
