Great mix of Asian food, very cool atmosphere, service is decent. Definitely will go back someday soon. Probably the best Chinese food I've ever had, and we do Chinese on almost every vacation. more

Top of the line cuisine. If you want a light dinner, just have the hot and sour soup and an egg roll. We ordered a dinner, so the waiter suggested the egg roll be enough for two people. Oh, boy!

The waiters tripped over themselves to make sure I enjoyed my visit. First, they had cucumber slices in a light sauce until my appetizer came and I loved it -- even though I don't like cucumbers! They brought me a free, tiny little appetizer called Peanut Chicken Salad which was two bites of heaven. I would have loved more! But... more
