Brought an old friend here for lunch; lunch specials are great. I had a delicious pork egg roll, and spicy scallops w/vegetables. I also so appreciated the mocktails menu.

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
