    My boyfriend and I always love the food here. Music is random but fun and the staff is always nice. New Years Eve they were giving complimentary glasses of Rose 🍷 Reservations are recommended as the restaurant frequently fills up.

    First time eating here and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed the orange chicken and veggie fried rice and egg rolls. The jalapeño popper appetizer was a little on the spicy side.

    Greet food and interesting drinks. It was lively so a little hard to heat but very festive. The food was outstanding.

    The food tasted like they were either going out of business or the kitchen was disgruntled about working on Christmas Eve.

    Omg! It was such a good meal. We were excited to try the Jewish Christmas menu and it was well executed. We started with the latkes and brisket egg roll. Both were flavorful and well done. We ordered the matzo ball egg drop soup and it was a hit. For the main entrees we had the pastrami fried rice and the general tso chicken. We were so happy we did this. The holiday drinks also hit the spot. :). Please bring this menu back next year!!!!
