    The quality of the food was good but don’t expect authentic Chinese. Everything was fresh and the portions were ample. The menu is very limited in choices.

    Service was great, food was delicious and drinks were good too - their menu is fun and while not being 100% authentic, it is still pretty damn good! Their happy hour is also great and so worth it for an early dinner. We will definitely be going back.

    We got there kinda close to their opening and it was empty. We sat at the bar and were treated to amazing food that came out so quick and hot and it was all delicious. 10/10 hospitality and 10/10 food. Immediately became a new favorite place. Thanks guys!
