Very nice restaurant decor, excellent service and delicious food. Convenient location at the border of Chinatown. We had dinner that included Peking Duck, a pork appetizer and seafood main with fried rice. All cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Dim sum is only served mid-day, so will return to try it out.
