    Great service by our waiter, although the manager at the front desk was not very cheerful! Dinner took a long time, but they were full with Thanksgiving diners! Excellent pork chop and swordfish entrees!

    What a total gem! We are mid 50's and while the typical crowd may be older, we appreciated the excellent service, the owner greeting us at the door and checking on us during dinner, the super professional server, and the outstanding food. Seabass, sole and souffle were amazing!

    This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! And the pricing is totally reasonable especially considering it's located in a casino. I went with three friends so there were four of us total. They have a full bar so we each started out with a drink (margarita, dirty martini, wine and beer). Most all of their meals are served family style so we shared the delicious large size wonton soup and it was the perfect size for four people (they also have single serving sizes). Then we shared an order each of calamari, sizzling pepper steak, shrimp wok fried rice, and spicy green curry with chicken. Every single dish was absolutely delicious! Our server, Irene, was very attentive and extremely nice, and the ambiance is attractive and not too loud. Our bill came to $149 before tip (that is $37 per person and really good pricing for the Palm Springs, CA area). I would highly recommend this restaurant! I look forward to going back because there are so many other menu items I want to try.
