The honey walnut prawns, chow mien, and orange chicken are the best dishes. Everything else is average. The decor is pretty but the lighting is too dim. The employees are nice, but a little forgetful or didn’t write down our order.

Pls be aware of this restaurant, the owner Wayne is extremely unprofessional and harassing. Our order was messed up, too much curry powder and spicy. We called about it and owner Wayne started cussing F word to me . Wow! Such a bad customer service! There are other good restaurants like Mandarin gourmet. Pf changs, if something happens to order they are very professional about it and correct it NOT ARGUE AND CUSS AT CUSTOMERS.

The salad we received with our lunch special was underwhelming. I ordered hot and sour soup and received wonton soup which was flavorless, and very oily. The twice-cooked pork and cod with garlic sauce was decent. The dumplings with peanut sauce was forgettable. Honestly they weren’t even dumplings. Staff inside were very nice. Place was clean. Restaurant is located in a very nice neighborhood.

Honestly not the best Asian food I’ve had. The lunch specials come with a soup and salad, both were mediocre. The wonton soup had a layer of oil floating on top, 2 pieces of wontons, and a flavorless broth. I’m not sure why they call the dumplings “dumplings” when they’re really just slightly bigger wontons. The entrees weren’t bad. The portion and flavors were pretty good, and they came out very quickly. Too bad the service wasn’t great. We won’t be back.

Food was very good. But we felt rushed – we reached at 8 00 pm on a Sunday and the waitress said that we should place the order immediately as the chef was going to leave by 8 30. At 9 00 pm, they started switching off the lights signaling that we should leave! To be fair, the restaurant is open till 8 30 PM, but one would expect that once you are let in for dinner, you would be allowed to enjoy the meals for 90 minutes.
