The shrimp fried rice is the very best in town. Maybe the best I've ever had. But the Sesame Chicken wasn't fabulous. The Egg Flower Soup gets rave reviews, as does the Walnut Shrimp. Again, the best I've ever had. Extra large shrimp perfectly cooked in a tempura batter. Crispy delightful bites coupled with a light flavorful sauce, that covered the shrimp, the incredible walnuts and crisp rice noodles. Exceptional. BBQ Pork was extremely dry.

Our server wasn’t attentive. She took our order, brought our food and didn’t check in on us or fill our water. The next contact was to bring us containers and our check. Disappointed in our service this time. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

The food did come out fast but after getting the food we never saw the waitress again until she brought the bill at which point we were informed of an automatic 18% gratuity was added to the bill. That would have been fine if it were a true large group and the service was top tier however we only had two adults and 4 small children that didn’t order food, and again it wasn’t that the service was bad there just wasn’t service at all especially that resulted in an 18% tip without the customers discretion. Because of that alone I won’t be back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $100+ Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
