The food was quite nice and delicious, with plenty of options on the menu. The ambiance has a somewhat outdated vibe, but the service was excellent and prompt. However, I noticed that the dumplings were heated in the microwave, as the inside was still cold while the outside was hot.

I had lunch there..I had soup, spring roll and entree. Soup... Far too much lemongrass. It had a odd flavor. Doing roll... Fantastic! Great flavor and texture. The entree... Curry chicken rice. Extremely oily, low on flavor and VERY little chicken. Worst I've ever had honestly.

The dish only had like 6 very small cuts of beef and a few sliver slices of red bell pepper. The dish was priced at $12.00 and for almost the same cost I can get a buffet lunch at Cuisine of India just across this establishment. Unfortunately, they don’t have a buffet at the time I went to eat and it was a big mistake going to this place. In fairness, the panang curry sauce was good and very generous in portion size but i didn’t order a bowl of soup. I don’t normally write bad reviews of a place but I hope the owners would reconsider their portion size or at least make it up with other “cheaper” ingredients like mushrooms, etc.
