Food is delicious especially the Peking dick which is always what we order. But it's a noisy place and tool almost 90'konuyes for us to get our entrees. And it's expensive. $300 for dinner for two with one round of cocktails, one appetizer and one entree shared with side order of fried rice. So be aware of the prices here.

Loved our server - made my date special and was pretty funny. I ate the paper to the duck for two thinking it was rice paper and not questioning it at all - choking it down with a smile on my face.
