   The waiter was not attentive and required for me to wave him down to order and pay the bill. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived. However the food was excellent.

   Fun, cozy, quaint ambiance. Great service. The best part was the food! Wow! So good! Oh, and the cocktails are fantastic as well. The pricing is very fair as well and didn't break the bank. It was a perfect spot for a fun and delicious dinner for me and my Forever Valentine.

   We parked behind the restaurant where 2 hours was the minimal time at around $9.50. We didn’t look for street parking but 7 pm was a very busy time in the neighborhood. This is a very small restaurant and noise levels were just below a roar. We had two things from the shared menu.. gen Taos chicken and salt and pepper shrimp. Both were not traditional Chinese but were meat and rice. Very few veggies and no sauce on either. They were both very dry but somewhat tasty. We also ordered ragoons that never got to the table. My husband hates coming downtown for dinner altho to me this is East Austin. it is a few blocks east of 35. Cool looking place inside and out.
