We always seem to get the Mongolian Beef and the Sesame Chicken, preceded by egg rolls. As usual, the food was tasty, served hot, and quickly. Service was great, and Rosemary aptly helped us pick out the best pairings of noodles or rice. Prices are reasonable. One word of caution: the red onions in the chicken dish are potent. We'll be back.

The cut, flavor, temperature and seasoning were the best I’ve ever had at Rosebud tonight. Two skirt steak that definitely outshined prior visits to Morton’s, Gibson’s and RPM. The meal started with the crowd pleasing chopped salad. Loaded with cubed vegetables. We ended with delish banana cream pie. Thank you for the spectacular meal tonight!
