One of the best in terms of service, food and ambience. We enjoyed the beet salad, and tuna tar tar, which is taste. The shaky beef and signature Fried rice alway enjoyed. Service as always superb.

A very pleasant and surprising experience the second time around. The food and service were great and the restaurant is well done. Our first experience a few years ago was not the best one.
Dining in the northern suburbs is still limited compared to the city but it's getting better. We decided to give it another go and it was well worth it. It fits the price point of what you would expect from a nice restaurant in Lake Forest. It will definitely go back on our list of restaurants that we enjoy.
