I truly enjoyed visiting this beautiful restaurant. I loved the decor, all its details, and each table had a different tableware. The wine list was exceptional, the food delicious, and the service unbeatable! I'm sure I'll be back soon.
Food was above my expectations. The flavors and freshness were so satisfying. Also loved the vintage decor of the restaurant, made me feel like I was dining in the 80s. Also the coconut cream pie for dessert was so airy and just enough sweetness. And don’t let me forget to mention the wait staff is on point. Didn’t have to ask for one refill even on water. Very attentive and made great recommendations. Will be back!!
We had a group of 5 when we visited. The service was amazing. We were always checked on and you could tell if you needed something, they were very prompt to help. For my course, I went with the crispy steak. This is by far, one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The cashew crust added that extra crunch. The steak was cooked perfectly and pair nicely with the fried rice. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time when going out to eat.

Celebrated my parents 50th anniversary last night and everything was absolutely wonderful. The service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was lovely and the dishes were exquisite! Thanks to the staff and kitchen for such a beautiful evening.
My husband & I went for our 19 year wedding anniversary! {March 5, 2023} The food was superb. I haven’t had Chinese food this good since I lived in New York & Boston! I have been following the reviews of this place for 2 years!!! They did NOT disappoint!!! The service was AMAZING. I love the dinner date vibes. I recommend the Mai Tai to drink, Lobster & Shrimp dumplings, Chef’s Fried Rice & The crispy steak!!!!! It’s a 10 out of 10 for me!
This restaurant is bustling almost every hour from the moment it opens, so I highly recommend making a reservation. Every dish we tried was delicious, but the table’s favorites were the Chicken Gwin Jin, Chef’s Lo Mein, New York Style Orange Beef, and the Key Lime Pie. The service was excellent—our servers were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I would definitely return!
Keith was our waiter and served us perfectly! Our 1st visit was wonderful. Enjoyed hunan country chicken, chef fried rice and lobster and shrimp dumplings. It was amazing and we will be back!
