   Delicious food, selected with the help of our gracious server Hailey. The variety of the menu is noteworthy. The staff were professional and friendly. Floor manager Elliott was very welcoming and made us feel special. Enjoyed meeting the chef who couldn’t have been nicer. Unexpectedly beautiful surroundings, nicely done. All in all, a memorable experience and we look forward to returning!

   We visited this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. But this establishment doesn't acknowledge celebrations, so was a disappointment. The ambiance of the dining room is very nice and we enjoyed the decor. Unfortunately, our server was subpar. She was not friendly nor attentive and was standoffish. This pretty much ruined our experience at the restaurant especially since we spent a good amount of money here. Her personality was very dry. Never smiled. The food was good and would return for that. We had a good variety, and everything was tasty: Crispy Duck Salad (more duck than greens), Crab Xiao Long Bao, Beijing Dumplings, Crispy Tiger Prawns (wasn't crispy. more like steamed consistency), Roasted Duck Noodles, Oven Baked Chilean Seabass, and Stir Fried Wagyu Beef Cube.

   The owner was on site and very helpful and receptive. We have been to the restaurant numerous times and will certainly return many more times.
