"the only think that happens fast is getting seated.
smoke wafts in from the casino and was just bothersome.
food was greasy average Chinese.
waitress disappeared after our was placed. nice not to be bothered but we waited 15 mins for her to return after we were done eating to get our cheque. During our 'wait' there were many other staff buzzing around who looked at (family of four with napkins all on the table, wallet out, etc). who didn't stop to see if we needed anything. The table across from us as well as behind us were cleared, cleaned and set yet nobody would help us pay to we could leave.
won't go back."

"It was our first time, the front counter was shocked we made reservation, it was pretty empty, it was early. The food was good, we ended up sitting at bar. The bartender was nice, but the people who served the food we're a bit rude. They wanted to hand us the food instead of placing it on bar. They should let the bartenders serve the food, the didn't seem to speak english... Not sure if we would return."

"Im kind of a Chinese food nut and if your like me this place has an awesome menu and amazing atmosphere. Lots of traditional dishes and things that are hard to find at a resturaunt like whole duck, half duck and jellyfish salad for example. I had a great birthday dinner. With a party of five we got out of there spending less than $150, thats counting drinks and tip. I plan on be going back soon."

"We have had good meals here in the past. Not this time. We ordered the lunch that included soup. The broth was flavorless and just lukewarm. The entrees were brought while we were still eating the soup. The braised beef was fatty, bbq pork little flavor. When the bill came, the sever acted like he wanted us to pay the bill quickly and get out. Another server also came over a few minutes later to explain how to pay the bill.
Totally rude people."

"We went for Valentines Day. The Valentines Day menu looked very good. The portions were small. The menu gave the impression that they were all separate courses and they weren't. Our waiter Mack seemed always rushed and was not gentle with the dishes. We will not return for a special occassion but like the restaurant overall."

"Turned out as a score! for Valentine's dinner. Will go again for the good food, however it is inside a very smokey Casino, within the restaurant this wasn't an issue!"

"We celebrated a 50th birthday and had a wonderful evening. The only regret was having a table so close to the front entrance. We had a party of 9 and I would have preferred seating my party somewhere towards the back of the restaurant. I think the casino noise would have been minimized. It was fairly load toward the front."
