                                An excellent Asian fusion restaurant, our favorite go-to for joyous reasons of the entire region. Everything is prepared to perfection, and the presentation is equally perfect. Our server was gracious, attentive without hovering, and did a wonderful job of enhancing our experience. We have dined here several times and have been impressed every single time.

                                Always a treat to dine here! Superb service and great food! My husband had their featured halibut dish which was terrific. I had the chicken dish with the fresh rice noodles which was so good and not too salty as some Asian noodle dishes can be. Our friend dining with us enjoyed the Bao Buns and wedge salad. Excellent Ginger Mojitos and beer. Thank You!!
