    They were still in their soft opening so please give them grace, but, the delicious dishes weren’t quite hot. I can’t figure out why, but everything was vaguely warm. Service was still clunky and a little chaotic at times. Once they’re over the growing pains, I bet it will be amazing. Wish their cocktail menu was more extensive and interesting and didn’t care for the edamame.

    This restaurant clearly is making an effort to do everything right, and I think it will be very successful. Even though it is new, everything went smoothly. Service was first rate and the food came out fresh, hot and fast. Nice menu options and a great overall vibe. Give it a try!

    We managed to get a table for the soft opening of this restaurant. Overall, food was very good. Not your typical Chinese fair, but a bit upgraded from other Chinese restaurants. Highly recommend the ribs, the green beans, and the wontons. Service was a little slow and discombobulated, but I would chalk that up to being the first weekend open. Alcohol selection is very limited presently, but imagine that will change over time. Will definitely go back and try this restaurant again.
