    Always a favorite of my husband and I. We always get the Lobster fried rice and the Tomahawk for two. Asked for the steak medium, but it came out medium rare. Not a big deal for me but my husband didn’t eat much of it. We absolutely love the lobster wontons, and the Mayo prawns were heaven sent. Also the frozen Lychee cocktail was a stunner! Our server surprised my husband with a birthday cheesesteak slice at the end. Very appreciative of that. Can’t wait to come back!

    Very nice lunch with colleagues. Good food and service with both above average. Surprised to arrive at 11:58 for a 12:00 reservation and made to stand outside due to the door being locked.
