Fusion Chinese, not traditional. I enjoyed dim sum items: shumai, lobster dumpling. Lettuce wrap appetizer was great as well. Char sui bao’s have too much dough, not enough stuffing inside. Overall, I’d lean towards appetizers and main entrees.

The service is always friendly there. We ordered the vodka pasta with chicken. It was good but needed a little more sauce. Pepperoni pizza was delicious. We also ordered a dine LA menu with a choice of salad and entre and a desert. I liked the little gem caesar and the churro desert was great. It was a good deal. Overall, i really like this spot and will continue to frequent Super Fine.
