Our waitress was lovely and attentive but the food was almost uneatable. The potstickers were doughy. The egg roll was doughy and clearly had been microwaved The chairs were worn. A glass at our table had red lipstick stains on it. I would never recommend or return. Worst food I’ve had out in a very long time.

Love the food here. But the service is dreadful dreadful and worse. There are not enough wait staff and we actually had to track someone down to place an order and again to pay the check. The wait for food was way too long and beyond acceptable. All in all having dinner here was a very frustrating experience despite the tasty dishes.
