The place is GORGEOUS! The food,
staff, and service was top notch… The Chilean Sea Bass melts in your mouth and the same deliciousness goes for the duck as well…
The GM stopped by the table to check in on us and even sent us a dessert for our friends birthday. The little pandas on the tables are so cute. Looking forward to our next visit and we will be back again! Thank you for such an AWESOME night guys

The food was top notch. Will definitely return. Formal dress was very nice to an upscale restaurant that is affordable with great food. I highly recommend the old fashion. By far the best we have tasted.

Food was excellent. Some of the best Chinese dishes I’ve had. Drinks from the bar were on point too. Only thing I would say I don’t care for about the restaurant is the seating. At first they tried to seat us in one of those half booth/half table deals that makes you feel like you’re sharing the table with another party. For an upscale dining experience, I expected something a little more intimate. However, they did accommodate us with a more private table so still leaving 5 stars!

We sat at the bar. They were out of our first cocktail choice and first two wine choices. Kinda weird for this level of restaurant to rely on premade cocktails. Beijing and sweet n sour chicken were good. Same with the dumplings. Vibe was kinda regular. Would eat here again but not my first choice.

I love the ambiance; it is a beautiful restaurant. Service was excellent; top-notch. I've had better lobster fried rice and probably wouldn't order here again, but everything else was great. I will try some other dishes next time around.

How should I say this. Very over rated. The restaurant is compact but, at the same time large. The waitress that took our orders was nice but had a lot going on. Service was different. It’s family style but, begin at a small table was creative. One in the party did not get their food until we were ready to leave. Waited on fried rice for almost 20 minutes. To be an upscale restaurant the bathroom was atrocious. I had the duck which was really good and the spring rolls. All in all nice place but go when it’s not to busy. See no picture of the food. We love to snap pictures of the food to make it IG worthy.

My visit was amazing, this was the first time I have been here. Although the food was a little salty and I ordered the salmon, everything else was great! I would definitely re visit!

I liked the atmosphere, although a little tight. Food was average for the cost. Service was just ok, considering their prices. Drinks are not cheap but are smaller than average. But the clincher for me was when I ordered a Riesling that was served in a port wine glass, which is smaller that your average wine glass if you didn't know. When I brought this to my waiter's attention, he apologized and told me that he would correct this error. Upon returning, he informed me that they ran out and that only a full bottle was available for purchase, which gave me the distinct feeling that maybe that was why my wine was delivered in a port glass, because I received the remainder of the bottle. I expected them to correct this error, especially since they had the wine there to do so, but instead they offered me another wine that I didn't like or drink. Overall, this place is average at best, posing as an elite restaurant.

Calamari was not hot or cooked fully, the crispy duck was cooked to much, it was dry, the shrimp spring rolls was ok, our waitress was not knowledgeable of the foods. The atmosphere was a good vibe. Will not go back over priced

Truly enjoyed my experience here. My sister and I love Asian cuisine’s and wanted to try out this restaurant! I would say as soon as you walk in, it gives a luxurious feel.

The night we went it was busy and our wait Julio was efficient throughout. He got our order correct and brought out in time. Although I could tell he was busy, he still kept a smile on his face and was attentive to our needs.

Thank you Julio; I will definitely be back

Came for my birthday and accidentally left my gift bag behind. I called the restaurant Immediately after I realized and I was told that they had it and I can come get it the next day. When I sent my cousin to pick it up the next day, all of the sudden nobody knew anything about it. After going back-and-forth with the managers, I was told I will be reimbursed for the amount of the gift but that hasn’t been done. For the amount of money my friends and I spent there this is unacceptable.

Amazing food. Amazing service. The Chinese food is authentic AND creative. This is the kind of food we would get at a nice restaurant in China. Went there a while ago and forgot our server’s name, but he was professional and considerate. I asked him if there was any Baijiu-based cocktails and he went to check with the bar (unfortunately they didn’t). I also asked for extra onions and cucumbers for the Peking duck, which he gladly and promptly brought to our table. Would definitely come back! (Although what’s with the loud reggaeton music? It was a bit hard to talk with the music blasting but it was kinda funny coz it’s so odd)

Worth every minute of your time the place has no smell! In love with cleanness! I set paper on table, it was removed! Excellent experience️
Oh and when you thought it was over they bring you a whole washcloth to WIPE you down

For Julio!
It was my first time at this restaurant and the food was amazing. Julio was more than 5 stars. ️ he made sure I got my drink even after I accidentally gave it to the other waiter to take back. Loved him and his great service. Me and my husband shared most of the food and he offered to split it up in bowls and plates for an easier serving. I absolutely loved that. The food was one of the best I’ve had but I have to say the service Julio showed is also the reason I will come back.

Thank you Julio! You made our night with my husband special.
