A great spot for a cold winter night. Food is excellent. Our waitress Natalya was helpful and attentive. She pointed out that the large salad I was going to order as an appetizer could be ordered in a smaller version instead of fries for a modest additional charge. Just the sort of thing you appreciate from a server.

The food types that we purchased are familiar however the quality and presentation are far beyond what one would typically be served at an Asian restaurant. Translate this is the best that you ever will have. Their pricing is also comparable. Do not pass this opportunity to dine here as this place is a keeper for a return. Their ambiance is truly beautiful and check out images.
