I just enjoy their food. I always get fantastic service there. The place is well organised and the cashiers are always kind. Will come visit again.

**i forgot to finish this review when i started it over a year ago mainly because i was reading reviews mentioning it was closed & now i see it's official so this review is sort of after the horse out of the barn but i may as well post** Let me preface by saying I purchased a groupon which basically amounted to a savings $46 or the cost of the Peking Duck...coincidence? I pride myself on being prompt & I would have been had their sign not have been 95% blocked by a tree & the fact they're recessed & right after a car dealer didn't help--of course coming back the sign was as bright as day but had to do two double u-turns in not the easiest part of 46 to do U-turns. But our reservation was still honored(arrving 620 for a 6p reservation) as there were still a few empty tables. My friend wanted Moscato not on the list 1st place that didnt have it so she got the standard Zinfandel. I'm not a wine drinker so they had 3 choices of beers weak, weaker & weekest I chose weak(Chinese brand) maybe next time I can skip the drink & get a soup some looked good(have a 2nd groupon but it says towards 2 drinks maybe they wont care lol) We shared the pan fried dumplings standard(as in as good as take out--actually, the ones I've bought at Asian markets & that new one Tai Pei in the supermarket is a tad better) & at $7 not cheap if you're paying 100% out of pocket. With the reviews I had to get the Peking Duck--I never ordered Chinese food that was made with "pancakes"(described as crepes). Umm--nahh---these are tortillas I would use to make a homemade burrito. However, that aside the duck is presented with the scallions & "pancakes" before they put them together right there. Duck was very good & you get 6 full-sized "burritos" but for $46 still not a bargain--the sauce that came with it was something I've never tasted but worked pretty well--not real sweet or spicy though very thick. It came with side of rice. My friend had the 3 Delights with Sizzling Rice. Everything was very fresh, chicken only needed a fork to cut BUT BUT BUT almost zero taste quite bland(though when she reheated leftover the next day it had a bit more taste). If you order it maybe they can add a bit of spice to it. We were both pretty full so we skipped coffee/dessert though not many choices & had we ordered I'd would have liked to know why fried bananas is $6 but flambe is $16? a lot more bananas? cost of lighter fluid? Service was very good at the beginning but slowwwwwwwwwed down to a crawl it had to be close to 20 mins hr from appetizer to entree & because the Peking Duck I'm guessing is something two people eat together my friend's entree came out 15 mins after. Then it was another 20 mins from the time we both were done with what we were eating to get our bill-of course that only took a few mins to get back. Decor is ok nothing fancy--waiter, host all in jackets--my seat was wobbly---I never felt like I was in China--lol. Since I have 1 more groupon I will come back but will try all different things including a soup & dessert so I may update this if it's noticeably better(or worse) I prefer to give a detailed rating as opposed to just saying I liked it or I didn't. For me I rate a restaurant in 4 categories in order of importance: Food Service Value Décor/ambience/misc If you're wondering why this is the order for me I rather have great food & so-so service than the other way around. You can always plan around a slower evening to make it just as enjoyable but not around mediocre food whether it's fast or slow paced. My 3rd item I call value instead of price because based on the taste & serving portion of the item compared to similar items at other restaurants tells me if it's a good value. For instance the best steak I've ever had to date runs about $44 but besides being delicious(a way to tell is it stands on its own w/o adding any sauces) it is boneless & about 24oz so you get two good mea
