    I have been here before years ago and had a great experience. This time was lame. Music was loud and hard to hear and carry on a conversation. The appetizers were ok. My entre’,the Mala Chicken, came out staggered to the rest of the meal and was so late that not only did I have to ask about it but my friend that I was dining with had already finished her meal. When the entre’ finally came out it was terrible. A scoop of rice and overcooked hard chicken. I sent it back. The waitress agreed it was not good and brought me something else. Won’t be going back again.

    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!
