We visited this restaurant while on a Dallas getaway. It was new to us and my best friend who lives there. It's located in a popular part of town, so we took advantage of the convenient valet parking immediately next door.The ambience was great! Clean, great music- and the wall decor! Very cozy. The food was simply delicious-- literally the best Asian I'd had in along time, and I particular about my Asian dishes.Each of our portions were enough for two days of eating. The appetizers were a meal in and of themselves. I was stuffed. Really.Lastly, our server was awesome. Very kind, timely, personable and accommodating. I will return when I'm in town again. Loved it!

I got to-go food from here and it was the most disgusting asian food I've ever had in my life. My fiance's was also gross. Couldn't even eat more than a few bites. The lo mein was way overcooked, squishy, and tasted like it had been sitting out on the counter for a day. The spicy chicken my fiance got was overcooked and not even remotely spicy. There was a puddle of grease at the bottom of the container for both. The egg and spring rolls were also insanely greasy and slimy. I think if we had eaten any more of this food we would have gotten sick and vomited.

Went Downhill/Everything Awful. When I arrived for dinner there were only two other people in the restaurant. Nobody was at the cash register/host stand and I wasn’t seated until I sat myself after waiting for 5 minutes. . The wonton soup was warm, not hot. I ordered a Diet Coke and it arrived without a straw. Some sort of cola, but definitely not Diet Coke.I asked for a straw and it never came. 10 minutes later I went to the unattended bar and got a straw myself. The steak that I ordered came out raw. Raw and cold on the inside., NOT simply undercooked, but RAW. The server was unapologetic. I will never return and I encourage others not to dine at this so-called restaurant. A really bad experience from the minute I walked in until the minute I left.

Lunch here was fine as usual. However the wine service was appalling. The bottle of wine we ordered was brought to the table and the server said G I had a problem and the neck broke. We said you can’t serve that bottle and they replied, are you sure? OMG of course we are sure! That is way dangerous not to mention a violation of health code. I don’t fault the server, I fault management for not supervising and providing proper training. Not only that, the wine was brought to the table both times already uncorked, something you do not do. Not to mention I certainly hope they did not serve that by the class to someone else.

I was charged $45 for a whole Peking Duck. This is no where near a whole duck although they put the two thighs or drumsticks to make it real. The food tasted so gross. The fried rice was uncooked . The mandarin beef tasted awful!! Very sour and dry, tough!! This place is ridiculous!!!

Ate here on a Sunday night and there were very few people there. We were seated right next to the kitchen at a tiny table even though we had made a reservation a week before and it never got anywhere near crowded. We ordered egg rolls that were good, potstickers that were delicious and a beef tenderloin dish that was also very good. Our server wasn't bad but it absolutely wasn't a fine dining experience. I expected wrongly for this to be a nicer restaurant. We also had a wonderful bottle of temperanillo wine that was extremely well priced.

Really disappointed in the food. The service was great but the food is absolutely disgusting. The worst “Chinese” food that I’ve ever had. Ordered General Tso chicken, fried rice, and crab wontons and I hated all of it. There was no flavor at all and for the price I expected better. The server told us that the fried rice was already pre-made and I should’ve known then but I let my hunger get the best of me. Do not recommend.

I got there at 8:15 last night, and these people were not happy that we wanted to eat because they close at 9. The place was dead. I went to another restaurant that closed at 9 I arrived there at 8:30 they took me. No worries. We ask to take our food to go and these people just didn’t want our business.

Some dishes tasted bland and without enough fresh ingredients. Inexperienced servers were nice enough but awkward.

Nice restaurant for a good, reasonably priced lunch. Good patio seating for a nice day. Friendly, efficient service.
