Yesterday on Mother’s Day , i visited this place along with my husband and two daughters. Food and ambience I would say was okay and service was super quick. What I felt was the staff was not so welcoming. Especially the server who was assigned to our table. We have been to so many different places for different cuisines but never felt this before. Servers are always very welcoming , cheerful and would try to do small talks and answer all your questions about the food menu and veg options if you are vegetarian but our server had a poker face all the time. She didn’t put any effort to talk to us , she was very reluctant to answer any questions and even if she did say couple of sentences, it seemed like , she was doing favors and she was rushed. My daughter is learning Chinese in her school and she was very excited to visit this place so that she can practice her newly learned language skill there but out server didn’t show any interest which was kind of rude . I can understand that there might be a language problem and because of that there could be a communication gap but we have visited so many different restaurant in and around country where there was communication gap , but there was always a warmth when a server attended us . My feedback would be that at this place, staff could be more friendly and welcoming and can show the excitement and warmth to see the customers especially the ones who are coming there for the first time .

Restaurant is cute but way overpriced for what it is, basic Chinese food with so so sushi. Nothing was spectacular for the price and our waitress was pretty rude. She got our order wrong twice, would run away from every table when she dropped off orders so you couldn’t get refills on drinks, and snapped at us when I asked about an order that she had gotten wrong. She gave me my entree and then gave my fiancés entree to another table and then took a large party’s order instead of giving us our check so we sat there for a long time.

A pleasant surprise. Nicely decorated. Excellent food. Good service. You could actually have a pleasant conservation without a lot of background noise.

Excellent Chinese food with attentive service. They also have an extensive wine list.

Buddhas Delight was so bland, I couldn’t eat it. I won’t be back

Food wasn't very good, no utensils or napkins. Being new to the neighborhood its nice to know which restaurants to avoid, this is definitely one of them. There used to be a time when an $80 order would be appreciated enough to warrant a plastic spoon and a napkin.

Food is very mediocre. Everything previously frozen. Dumplings fall apart. Wonton soup is pure salt. Rude and forgetful staff. My children walked around and went to the bathroom and the waiter told me he was "worried about them." What does that even mean? Kids can't go pee on their own? They can't walk around an empty restaurant and look at the decorations? Weird. Never coming back.

Everything was great minus the flies flying around...

Good food.

Best pork fried dumplings I’ve had since I moved here. Thank you! I also got the sesame chicken and it lived up to the hype, will absolutely be ordering from here regularly.
