    LOVE THIS PLACE! The food was amazing. Had the wraps and spicy dumplings as appetizers, then pecan shrimp, and the duck for entrees. Wow wow wow! Everything was really tasty! No wonder this place has so many 5 star reviews. Our server was equally great!! Highly recommend!!

    We ordered several dim sum options from the menu and also went with some recommendations from our server. Our favorite choice was the shumai. We enjoyed everything else we ordered, but there seemed to be a lack of good flavor compared to other places we have eaten. Our server, and all the others helping out, were friendly and helpful. They had a firm understanding of the menu items and could describe the choices well.

    Mouth staring food made with fresh herbs and spices. We had several allergies of gluten, nuts, seeds, and coconut. The kitchen accommodated everyone allergies and didn’t compromised on taste.

    The food and service were great. Parking next door cost $38 for two hours. The restaurant is extremely noisy but we were able to carry on a conversation.

    The food was exemplary and no matter pork, beef, seafood or noodles, everything was equally delicious. The service was first rate, the dishes paced perfectly and the bar had a non-stingy pour. When I asked for a more private table, the hostess could not have been more accommodating. This is a special place for a great dining experience.
