Food: Flavors alright, execution off

The menu here ranges from sweet and savory Honey Almond Shrimp to gourmet quality Sweet and Sour Chicken. However, the cuisine seems misguided and in some instances, freshness questionable. A traditional favorite, the Wonton Noodle soup, even strays from its roots. But, fans of variety have a myriad of options to choose from.

  • Great Variety

    Extensive menu with diverse options ensuring something for everyone's taste.

  • Okay Taste

    A mix of food being great and service good, but also some dishes bland.

  • Low Quality

    Dumplings tasted gross, convinced meat was bad, questioned freshness.

Vibe: Chaotic retirement home

The ambiance is orthodox, mimicking the environment of a retirement home spiraling into chaos, making it less than desirable. With such a loud and hectic environment, the prospect of an intimate, comfortable date night is destroyed with every echoing clang of cookware.

  • Bad For Dates

    Loud and chaotic, detrimental to a comfortable, intimate date experience

Perks: Stellar service, poor reservations

Select features save the day here- the ease of parking being a notable one. Service is prompt, attentive, and well-acclaimed. And, large groups are well catered for with the staff managing to maintain their high standard of service. However, their inability to provide an online reservation system is a major downfall.

  • Great Service

    Staff demonstrated excellent professionalism and attentive, quick service

  • Okay To Hear

    Ambience with culture pop; not noisy, allowing for calm conversations.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Menu hard to read; online ordering not available.
