    I hosted my company Xmas dinner here last night for my employees. Glad they were able to accommodate all 12 of us. We did the Tasting Menu Iv. It was enough food/portions to go around for all of us the staff was amazing & they catered to us. More importantly the food was on point. I’ve been here multiple times but this time my employees got to experience & enjoy this top notch dinner.

    Always a favorite of my husband and I. We always get the Lobster fried rice and the Tomahawk for two. Asked for the steak medium, but it came out medium rare. Not a big deal for me but my husband didn’t eat much of it. We absolutely love the lobster wontons, and the Mayo prawns were heaven sent. Also the frozen Lychee cocktail was a stunner! Our server surprised my husband with a birthday cheesesteak slice at the end. Very appreciative of that. Can’t wait to come back!

    Love the decoration of a dragon at the ceiling! The food was great! We had steak and salmon. The food was cooked to perfection. The salmon was tender and juicy. The steak was medium rare the way we like it! The service was excellent as well. Will definitely go back to try other food on the menu!
