    Excellent quality food. Have traveled to Asia extensively for 35+ years for business I appreciate good Chinese food. The whole steamed fish was delicious. Of course the more dishes you can order, the better your experience. I tend to over order. Leftovers are a plus. Thanks for a wonderful Holiday dinner.

    Went there with some family members…Our waiter Angel was the BEST! Fun, friendly, smart and efficient! We had shrimp cocktail that was delicious! Caesar salad, just ok. Porterhouse for two was AMAZING. And the corn brulet was outrageous! The sweet potato fries were tasteless… the owner or manager came over and we mentioned that- he said they were new and tasted it and agreed … but oddly didn’t take that off the bill. Just a suggestion for them for next time … I would definitely return though!
