"Fresh, delicious Chinese food. Sizzling soup is a great starter. Sesame beef is the best!"

"The food was delicious. Spicy for those who like spicy and medium for the rest of us. Loved eating off a "real" table cloth and the service was great. Looking forward to returning and trying more dishes."

"While the food and service were outstanding, I thought it was a bit overpriced, considering that it was Chinese food. Chicken is not that comparatively expensive to other meats, yet my three chicken meals totaled well over 50 dollars. Not only that, but 4 dollars a piece for small glasses of apple juice is a bit pricey too."

"This was an absolutely lovely chinese restaurant. A little bit fancy (fresh orchids garnished the plates), but in a I-wish-more-chinese-restaurants-would-do-that sort of way. The food was phenomenal; the flavors were light and delicate, the vegetables fresh and beautiful. I picked them because they have a gluten-free menu and they note which dishes contain peanuts. But man was the food good. We also had the absolutely most perfectly paired wine (I know, right?). But something in the Seafood Treasure with Abolone turned the Sauvingnon Blanc we were recomended into this almost tawny port tinted deliciousness. I don't know, but after one bite of those scallops the wine was just redolent of peanut brittle or carmel corn (in a really good way)!"
