Saturday night dinner service is POPPING here. We made a reservation and are so glad we did because I don't think we would have gotten a seat otherwise. The wait staff was attentive and kind, willing to answer all of questions and apologetic when they didn't have the beer that I was hoping to try. When you sit down, they give you an order sheet with your menus. You write down the quantity of each item that you'd like and then it's served family style as it's ready. Highlights of meal were the beef stuffed scallion pancake, the dry pepper chicken, and the stir fry ho fun with beef! We also tried the pork and crab soup dumplings, the spicy pork soup dumplings, and the pork and leek dumplings. All of them were good, but I've had similar dumplings at other dim sum establishments that have been better. The sesame soy Brussels sprouts seemed like they could have been cooked a bit longer for my liking and didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping. Overall, this is a solid place, and I would eat here again!

Absolutely loved this restaurant! I came here with my girlfriend on a random Wednesday evening and we were seated immediately. They even gave us a new table when they realized our first one was wobbly. Our server was incredibly polite and gave us details on all of the items we were interested in ordering. We had the vegetable egg rolls, pan fried pork soup dumplings, extra spicy shrimp dumplings, pickled garlic cucumber, scallion pancakes, and chicken & mushroom dumplings. As they bring the food to you, they announce the meals so you don't have to remember/worry about what you selected. They also have really delicious cocktails that I suggest.

Food used to be better. I decided to try it again but nothing has changed. Dishes look completely different on their website. They don't put much effort into their dishes. They must have changed the ingredients or cooks not doing their jobs right.

I go here for the weekday lunches. The prices are very, very good and you can get a quick lunch that is cheap and good. Note that the lunch specials are only american chinese style cuisine - not the traditional chinese food. I haven't actually tried the traditional chinese food here. For the lunch special, not only do you get the main food, which probably like from a list of ~15 items, you can also get a SOUP, which is hot and sour soup or wonton soup. And the wonton soup is actually good, and you get several wontons inside. The kung pao chicken was good. It was a good portion of food where you can take leftovers. The chicken was not dry and it had a lot of flavor. And absolutely most importantly, it wasn't swimming in a weird sauce. Sometimes with these restaurants they just cook the chicken separately and then add a weird sauce that is too water or thickened by some kind of corn starch. This kung pao chicken seemed properly stir fried, along with the other ingredients which were stir fried. This is crucial to make the food taste great. The fried rice as also good - seemed well fried and had egg in it. I really liked this place and will come back for the great value and good service. Ambiance is like a normal american chinese restaurant that might have dim sum - not like a simple take-out place. there actually is a bar too.

First, let me start with the dining area. we were seated like 2 tables from the door, and it was freezing cold cause the door kept opening up . Then we ordered it, took forever place order, and forever got any food to our tables. My dad ordered tea, so why is it taking 20 min to get tea. Then they kept sending orders out one at a time so one person n had food while we had wait we wanted to eat together if thay case would went to separate places . So thay that we finally got food it was just horrible seafood pork dumplings doesn't have no seafood taste and soggy pork spicy dumplings soggy Singapore noodle too much of curry flavor on it fried rice not fried rice it white just white. salt and pepper wings, bland ribs bland ice and hot tea bland we had put 15 packet sugar. everything was bland no flavor for 148 buck only thing that was good was Mongolia beef neva going back we shouldn't have go home season our food and I dont know what type of fried rice they got going on there but it white even the chicken in fried rice was white horrible horrible dont wast time
