    Excellent Chinese food! The ambience is very pretty, smaller menu, but great food. I do often think of a Mia Tia with Chinese, they didn’t have the ability to make one. Other than that, it was great.

    My family of five went for the first time. Of note--two in our party have traveled to China and were eager to visit. We ordered scallion pancakes, egg rolls and dumplings for appetizers--all were excellent, and the China visitors were glad to have scallion pancakes which are not as common here. For entrees we had combination fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian Beef, and a stir-fry dish. We felt the entrees were just fair. Overall, the service was outstanding, and the location and ambience are great as well. It's a great place for appetizers and the bar area would be a fun choice for TV watching with friends.

    Glad to have found a place where I can visit with friends and actually seem to suit everyone with price and quality of food as well as noise level—we can hear each other!

    TVs flashing throughout the dining room kill the vibe. This could be a really desirable and romantic dinner spot, but the flashing TVs are mood busters. Turn them off or become a sports bar. Food is really amazing, so order take our.
