"We had not had dinner here in a couple of years, until last night. I saw the new menu items page with the "Tea-Smoked Duck and had to try it! It was worth the drive in the Winter storm to try the generous serving of Half Duck!"

"This restaurant was incredible! The food tastes so fresh and the service is outstanding (I felt like I was at a fancy, multi-course meal). Truly the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!"

"I went here last night with my partner and my daughter and I’m so glad we did because it was awesome! Honestly the best Chinese food we’ve have since moving to the area 3 years ago. Everything is super fresh. My daughter ordered vegetable fried rice and there were actually hearty and fresh veggies in it! Im a vegetarian and ordered the “imitation” sweet and sour chicken. Normally im not big on fake meats but I’m so glad I got this because it was absolutely delicious. My very meat loving partner even liked it. The staff is extremely welcoming and very efficient. We will absolutely be back here and highly Recommend you try it!"

"The quality of food has gone down a lot, we used to like this place. It was empty on a Sunday, and it seems they don't have much business anymore. We ordered two types of fish and they were not fresh, have to send them back. Not coming back. At least the eggplant with garlic sauce was still good."

"Wonderful and elegantly presented Chinese food in a calm and beautiful atmosphere. My picture doesn't do it justice but their walnut prawns are airy and crisp, the crispy duck is well seasoned and tasty, the garlic kale is bright green and tender, and the brown rice is blended with wild rice and is beautiful with a great texture. There are very few restaurants on Solano that are conducive to a quiet conversation. This is one of them. (The others seem designed to amplify noise -- maybe I'm just just losing my hearing!?) The owner is very friendly and remembers us every time. Have been coming here for perhaps 20 years!"
