    Large Buffet all the normal Americanized Chinese dishes, you can go fill up a container off the buffet and they will weigh it for cost. I always stuff one to eat Chinese for a few days. Lol

    The food was not good. I've had better in Richmond and New York City. They seated us quickly.

    First time dining here, and I couldn't imagine us ever coming back. Really disappointed. The…read morereviews were so good, we thought this was going to be great. We were in visiting on a work trip and we were looking for some great food. First off, the venue space is nice. I really liked the atmosphere and vibe. Unfortunately, things kind of didn't start well and they just went downhill from there. We were looking at the higher dollar menu items like the seabass and scallops. They had a scallops special that caught our attention but the chef wouldn't budge on the menu sides. We were looking for something lower carb. What I wanted was the scallop dinner with the special miso sauce, but instead of the sweet potato hash, I wanted veggies. But the server said the chef said no. Based on that, we both ended up ordering a hamburger. It wasn't what we wanted but we felt it was the safest option based on the quality of the appetizer. You see, we had ordered some calamari and it was so bad we had to send it back. It was nothing but hard crunchy batter. There was very little calamari actually in the pieces. You couldn't even pierce it with your fork. It was horrible. Based on the quality and flavor of the calamari, we decided to not take the risk on sea bass or scallops. The burgers came out and they were ok. Nothing special. I've read through some of the other reviews about the complaints of how salty the food is, and I can confirm the food we had was way over salted. Now for the service. This was a really awkward and uncomfortable night. The server was trying but he honestly didn't fit the price point of the menu. Each interaction was more awkward than the next. The things he would say and the way he communicated, made us so confused and uncomfortable. He was a nice guy, he just probably isn't a good fit as a server. We've had good meals in Charleston before, tonight wasn't one of them. The martinis we had were good, but we walked out of there only spending $70, while we had a budget of $125 each to spend. This restaurant lost out on $180 worth of business all because they didn't want to budge on the scallops dish. Do the math, this wasn't a smart business decision.

    I came here for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend. Personally, I am not a fan of the seating…read more The barrel tables are neat, but the chairs were wobbly and uncomfortable in a short skirt. The gentleman who waited on us was kind and attentive. I ordered the salmon and my partner had a burger. My salmon was well cooked and I really enjoyed the sweet potato puree as well as the rice and Brussels sprouts. I will say, I have had a similar experience with a dish from Longhorn. My partner said he really enjoyed his burger. Overall, we had a good experience but it is a bit overrated for the price, in my opinion.
