- FFrankLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had reservations and were seated right away. It was Valentine’s Day so most tables were set up for couples. We were accommodated but made it tight. Limited menu because of the special day but food was very good. Prices were set for two people but they made it work. Food was excellent. It was very busy so that affected service but the staff remained friendly and made the best of what they could. We enjoyed our time there.More infoShun LeePrice: Expensive• Chinese• Lexington•4.6
