"Absolutely our favorite in Santa Rosa. Fantastic service, wonderful food, and cool decor. Anything on the menu would be great but we had the grouper and the snapper. Both were excellent. Reservations accepted and recommended!"

"We went here as we have a discount book we bought earlier in the year and have yet to use. We drove for half an hour to get here. A pretty little place, very intimate. We were shown to our table after being offered either indoor or outdoor (screened) seats. We asked if our discount was valid as the table was being laid and were told we could. Unfortunately the grouper my wife wanted had sold out. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Our starters arrived promptly and the presentation was second to none. However, for me the flavours just weren't there. Maryland style crab cakes are my favourite, they just didn't do it for me unfortunately. The wife had a selection platter. She also agreed it was nice, but not amazing. I also ordered spring roll which was again, beautiful fresh and presented, but lacked in punch. It certainly wasn't horrible. Our mains were brought out at a good point after the starters, my wife had a half portion of fried rice with shrimp and I had the bbq duck. My duck was fantastic - the flavours were great much more like what I expected. Cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth. The shrimp fried rice was also nice, not fantastic and had some rather large lumps of onion in it. The shrimp were huge, which meant there wasn't that many of them. We then shared a coconut cake for dessert. That was very nice. However it all fell apart when we presented our discount. We were told we couldn't use that with the fried rice as a meal. We spend $160 between two of us, yet we hadn't spent enough to meet the requirements. That was very disappointing. And the meal certainly wasn't worth $160 (Inc tip) unfortunately. I doubt we would go back, which is a shame."

"My daughter and I went for dinner here for the first time. Not your typical Asian food but everything we ate was delicious. We started with the gyoza, which were steamed and very good. Then she had a seaweed salad and I had the Asian salad with ginger dressing and they both were really good. Then I had a snapper special which was amazing, not a ton of Asian feel, but so good . My daughter did a half order of chicken fried rice which was a huge portion and super tasty. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back."
