Like the salad dressing implies - yum yum! Not the cheapest meal in town, but we keep coming back.

Ordered Orange chicken, pad thai and wontons for pickup. Wontons and sauce were delicious but very disappointed in the meals. Chicken was real tough and gristly. The pad thai was very greasy. For the price? There's cheaper places around town who can do it better.

I don’t know what to say exactly, I can’t say the food was bad because it was pretty good. We just didn’t have the most excellent serving experience. It seems the serving was a little disorganized, for example we received all the sushi and did not have saucers and soy sauce for us to eat the sushi with for a bit after. But for the purpose of our visit it worked out great because it was a team lunch and it didn’t matter all that much. If you wanted to go for a date dinner then the lack of serving would maybe matter a bit more.
Other than that the servers were very polite and nice.
I ordered the New York strip with lobster and the plate was pretty awesome!

Took a long time to be waited on. Server was very nice once she got there. Order was wrong. They corrected immediately.
Cheese wontons were sweet with sweet sauce. Spicy mayo wasn't spicy but instead was very sweet! Had a crunchy shrimp roll. That was sweet too! Yuck. Sriracha wasn't the rooster sauce I'm used to. Also, too expensive by far. Service was pleasant. Everyone had a smile. It's because of them I gave 3 stars.

Arrived for lunch. Very pleasant decor and friendly staff. Our two lunch specials arrived quickly and were very tasty. We will be back.

It was a really nice place, had some spicy crab rolls which were bomb, and I got some Mongolian beef which was also insanely delicious. It's nice and dimly lit, but not too dark and we got seated immediately

Tried to go to an early dinner friday. They set me behind a statue in a filthy area of the restaurant. Sitting drinking water that tastes horrible. After 10 mins of no returns from the waitress. I got up and cancelled my food. Place seems like a former dump of what it was anyway.

Great food and service. Had the Honey Black Pepper chicken was delicious and a big portion took the other half to go. Would definitely come back.

AMAZING FOOD! The food was down right delicious, and the service was impeccable, they're good at making sure you have what you need. Thank you to our server John for helping us out and not being overbearing about it. John deserves a raise! Highly recommend.

The food is superb - everything we've had.
The staff does not wear masks though.

They use the best beef of any restaurant I've been in at this price point. Very very good food.

Prices are high. Well over $100 for 2-4 people (without alcohol). With that out of the way, the food is amazing. We love it. Staff is friendly, the kitchen always substitutions and customizing of your meal which I always appreciate. Food is always fresh and worth the wait while it cooks.

A friend and I stopped here for lunch. The prices are somewhat high but I would come here again despite that. I loved their decor and food so much! I ordered these noodles that were so incredibly good! More onions than I cared for but so delicious! Also ordered a plate of fried shrimp in this sauce and it blew my mind. Also gonna level here, I didn't need to rush to the toilet afterwards. So these guys keep a very clean kitchen. The dishes are around $10+ but you aren't jipped on the portion size. These guys will take care of you.

Nice specials menu, especially if you like sushi. Service was attentive. Poor lighting makes it hard to read menu.

Must try the General Tsai Chicken! It's the best I've had. The sushi is good too.

Stopped in for lunch today because I was seriously craving Singapore Rice Noodles. The staff that seated us was friendly and our server came over and took drink orders in a timely manner. She brought the drinks and asked if we were ready to order, which we were. Both my companion and I had been there often enough in the past that we didn't look at the menu. I ordered the Singapore Rice Noodles and the server asked me which meat I would like.

I looked back at her kind of puzzled because every time I have previously ordered, it came with shrimp and chicken (if I recall correctly). She explained that they changed the menu a few months back so I looked at the paper menu a little closer. I notice that the menu price had went up $1. I then notice the line telling me that I could get several meats for $4 each. I about swallowed my tongue. The total for the same noodles that I had late last year for $12.95 would now cost me $21.95 if I had gotten both shrimp and chicken that used to be on it by default.

There is no way that dish is worth that much to me, so I had the steak fried rice (for which I still paid a $4 premium for the meat). I do realize that inflation is running at 9+%, however the SRN pricing is 175% of what it was 10 months ago. Last I checked, I could buy at least a half pound of roast, a pound and a half of chicken or a half pound of shrimp for what they are trying to charge to add a few ounces of meat.

There is such thing as covering increased costs, then there is hosing your customers. I view this as a case of the latter. Maybe in a few years we will check this place out again but for now, they have priced me out of their market.

I think we just had bad timing, Mothers day buffet was just ending. I ordered sweet and sour chicken it was overcooked, the chicken was so hard you had to push the fork to go in.i think our orders were from the left over buffet they came out quick. Prices are a little high. Service was very friendly and attentive. We will give it a second try.

Tried the Peking Duck last night and it was a delicious surprise. My nine year old son had three bites and at the end I told him it was duck. He said, "I had no idea it was duck. It tasted amazing. " And thank you chef for instructing the server on how to prepare it.
