We had the green beans, gyoza, chicken wings and wok-fired cashew chicken which was served with a large bowl of freshly steamed rice. It was all delicious and service was outstanding. We overbought for leftovers, that why the cost was high. Worth every penny! (Cashew chicken not pictured)
Went on a date night with my wife. Loved the atmosphere, and the service was friendly and kind. The food had great portions, awesome flavor, and enough for us to have left overs. I tried something new "General Mustards" and holy cow, so good! Light breading and fantastic sauce with great veggies. Both dishes were fantastic, highly recommend.
My family went for dinner here for an early Sunday dinner. We were the only ones dinning at the time, so having slow service was surprising. Our server was friendly and efficient with our order, just distracted I guess. We always had another employee looking for her when we needed something. The food was great. Everyone ordered something different and it come hot and fresh to our table. Overall, we would go back and recommend.
Food is honestly mid- but the atmosphere is nice and relaxing, not too loud. Service was great!
