Had the bento box lunch special - food was delicious ! There was a lot of noise and the cook was yelling on the phone in the bar area - super loud ! There was also a handyman moving a ladder around doing something with the lights over the customers heads - weird that they would allow that during dining hours … but he was quick. Server was friendly but he was the only one handling the entire restaurant- so service was spotty. Still love that we have an Asian restaurant that serves fresh food though. I will definitely be back.

Great food. The sole was the star of the table. Only downside - so loud. No baffling to absorb the sound.

Service wasn't great. We had to wait around 30 minutes for our order, and 15 for a diet coke.

Spreading the word! This was the best Chinese food I’ve had in YEARS. It’s maybe a little more expensive than most places, but the servings were substantial and very nicely presented and delicious. I suggest listening to the server’s recommendations (our server was Ash), and be sure to order the green beans. We ordered a second serving (four of us). We had two appetizers, two entrees, a Chow Mein and those two green beans. There was some jasmine rice too. Plenty of food with a few leftovers. Ambiance is austere but classy. And there’s a nice bar.

The dishes here have been very good and ambience is very warm and nicely designed. Happy to see a good Chinese restaurant in Danville. Their lunch specials are the draw for me to be able to have a little bit of everything. Prices aren’t unreasonable for the area. Would be great if they had weekday dinner specials. I’ll definitely be coming back and it’s in my rotation of restaurants now!

Wow, I had dinner here last night, the four of us, and the experience was excellent. First of all our waiter Julian was spectacular. About halfway through his description of the menu I stopped it. I said wow you’re really good. He connected with us he described the food perfectlyand some of their cocktails were very well balanced. Will definitely be back and this will be on our permanent order out for Chinese food as we can swing by and pick it up. Again book a reservation this is a great place to go.
