"Came here for 2024 Restaurant Week and the food was delicious! My favorite dish was the shrimp bao buns. The chilean sea bass was also so flaky and fell apart at the touch. For dessert, I’d skip the cheesecake and go for the dip sum doughnuts. They are so fluffy and the dips are amazing!"

"Excellent. We came at 5 so there was a bit of a traffic jam getting in, but the service food and drink was amazing. Waitress was very knowledgeable and gave great advice and suggestions. The quality of food was amazing, especially with the price. I loved the lobster fried rice, tuna tartar, lo mein. I also enjoyed the drinks, like Enlightenment, Honor and Spirit. I hope to be back!"

"They had excellent service and very welcoming personnel! With a party of eight, we arrived here during restaurant week. Six of the people in our group arrived exactly in time, and the other two arrived early time. They will wait to bring you to the table until the rest of the party has arrived. We were met with a warm greeting and were shown to our tables quickly after arriving. At the high top, we were seated directly in front of the Buddha. There was a unique vegetarian menu during Restaurant Week, which was perfect for our two vegetarian members and every course was excellent! Every meal had a lovely flavor and aroma, and the presentation of the food was impeccable. Without a doubt, we would come again!"

"Been many times and will continue to go. Amazing restaurant with great ambiance. Food has always been on point. From appetizers to dessert everything was delicious. This time we went for restaurant week and i must say I’ve been to other restaurants during restaurant week where they try to skimp on portions or deals but this restaurant i feel like had a great 3 course special with pretty decent portions. I actually ate my entire entree and dessert which never happens. It’s really nice for just about any occasion. Does get crowded quick and tables are a bit small but we enjoyed. Only issue i had was the fruit in my drink still having the sticker on it. I didnt even notice until after to be honest so it was what it was but that was my only issue the entire night that wasn’t a big deal at all. Stuff happens."
