DO NOT EAT HERE! Ordered the grilled fish, first of all the fish taste like it came out the freezer, it was hard AF and just not... fresh. I know fresh fish when I eat fresh fish and this is def frozen old fish. Second of all, they did not clean out the gutsand intestines of the fish as you can see the black stuff on my pic. Disgusting. Would give this place 0 stars if I could. Menusaid 2 bowls of rice is included, waiter said otherwise. They said they did not update the menu yet but rice is not included.Sounds like a whole bunch of scamming. Third of all I added clam and as seen in the picture they only gave me 3 clams for awhole portion. Disgusting. FYI No customers were here. I feel robbed. Hopefully I don?t feel food poisoning later tonight. Read more
The easiest way to describe it is getting your usual favorites but I'm an extremely nice setting. The plus is that the food is... not greasy. With these main dishes at restaurants close by like Hong Kong, is that you got a cap on would really fast andexecution. Leaving minimal room for error. These people do it well. I will be back for sure. There's a little more sesame oil init than I'd like, but that's a preference, and it should not dissuade you from trying this wonderful place service wasfantastic. Atmosphere was fantastic. Food came out fast. Menu has lots of options along with BBQ items. I did not try the BBQ,but that test will be the one to tell if this really is a place to want to come back to. I would think with execution of basicdishes like these done so well, it should be fairly tasty. Otherwise, go hit up a corner store place, get the gut bomb food in ahurry and disregard this review. None of it is healthy, but the extra care in doing it right helps tremendously. Just my opinionthough. Read more
The restaurant is beautiful inside. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was very good. We have the breaded almond... chicken family combo. So much food! All of it good. The pot stickers are pan fried and very tasty. The green beans and beef isalso great. You should try this place if you are in the area. Read more
Came here a little bit ago. The food was pretty good. Got a family meal for 2 people. There was easily enough food to eat... comfortably there and take some home for later. The chicken was very well cooked, crispy and had good sauce. The oolong tea wasalso really nice. Came in a pot and just pour as you go. Over all the food was really good. Only 1 down sides are that the saltshakers were a little dirty which wasn't that big of a deal. But the inside of the restaurant is VERY nice and had nice decor. Read more
