Meat quality is great! We came at the end of the night so I didn’t really get to explore a lot of the menu. I didn’t like the sides as much but the appetizers were great (wasn’t a fan of the fried dumplings)

We had so much fun! The waitstaff were wonderful and friendly. The food was actually amazing, and we left stuffed, with great memories and smiles on our faces. Valet was so convenient and made getting in and out a breeze.

It was a bit dreadful place for Christmas. Floors were wet and food was minimal. It was also expensive ($800 for 6), and waiter was too busy. We won’t be returning.
