Acknowledging the harmony of heaven, earth, and man, dishes are prepared Cantonese style. Table cloths and cloth napkins set it apart from most Chinese restaurants, and the live seafood displayed in the special tanks guarantee freshness. Reasonable prices in this elegant setting ease the pain of the frenzied service from irritable servers. Favorites include the daily dim sum and Peking... more
