"Gluten Free Magnet. Dined in a party of 10. Special requirement for my gluten free diet was met and greatly exceeded. Banquet for everyone else was adjusted with exceptional customer service for my gluten free meal to match the regular menu."

"Damn that's some fancy interiors for a Chinese restaurant no wonder it's $6 PER spring roll. Look this place didn't blow my mind I went with regulars who rave about it and as such I let them take over the ordering. Potentially this hampered my enjoyment as I probably would have chosen differently myself but nothing was particularly bad I just don't think it was adequate considering the serving size and pricing. The service is exceptional and the surroundings are elegant and refined but at the end of the day it's all about the food and it was a bit lacking for me. Truly stunning decor with beautiful orchards and lighting creating a lovely atmosphere so good for a special occasion with someone who loves Chinese cuisine"

"Having been to Chois previously, we thought this would be a good choice to go to again with friends (last night). However ... the staff were NOT friendly at all. We waited and waited and waited for close to an hour for the meals to come out, and when they finally came, they were totally staggered. They also gave the wrong duck dish to the wrong person, without telling us what it was, and due to extreme hunger, much of the dish was already eaten before the mistake was realised. To add insult to injury, one meal came out AFTER all of us had pretty much finished eating. This is unacceptable. We kept asking where the dish was (as we'd come here to all eat TOGETHER), and we were told it was still being cooked. We eventually asked for the manager, and were told that he's in the kitchen and too busy doing take away cooking instead of managing the patrons at the restaurant. Not once did we hear any form of apology. They just don't get it. You are only as strong as your weakest link, and last night they let us down to the point we will not be coming back. Very disappointing, as the food is usually very nice."

"If someone hadn't reminded me about this restaurant, I would have completely forgotten about it. And even if I drove by a few times, I don't think I would have noticed it, because it's in a very unassuming location with a very low key facade, but let me tell you that the interior is beautiful and very, very spacious. They were exceptionally accommodating tonight, as they were solidly booked (which tells you how good they are) yet they found a way to squeeze us in if we went a little early, which was no problem at all. The food is as beautiful as the decor and the service was top notch. I had the Pan Fried Curried Beef Dumplings and the Sweet and Sour Chicken in Batter which were both SO incredibly delicious. Everyone else at the table loved their meal too and we will definitely come back. It can get a little loud, but again, good service, good food and it was a really nice dining experience. I highly recommend it. In an update ... Went there again tonight, and the service was exceptionally slow. When the mains eventually came out, the Sweet and Sour Chicken was DOWSED in garlic. There was nothing sweet or sour about it, but it was now Garlic Chicken. It was disgusting. When the waiter cleared our plates and we told him why half of ours each was still on the plate, we said it was soooo heavy in garlic, and he just thanked us. It will be quite a while before we go there again."
