We ordered the Beef Scallion dish , fried crab Rangoon, Thai tea & coke. The beef was tender with a nice flavor. The fried ragoon was delivered piping hot and crispy to our table. The portion for one dish can be shared with others in your party. This gives you the opportunity to taste several dishes. We couldn't have asked for a better meal. The service was impeccable. Our servers were attentive to our needs. Drinks were promptly refilled. The table was cleared often of empty plates leaving us more room for comfort. We had excellent service. The ambiance was calm and relaxing for it being a large busy restaurant. Everyone could talk with each other in their normal tone. Background music was on point. We will be back at a later date to enjoy our newly discovered gem.

Seems like a more trendy Asian fusion type of restaurant…read more The only 5 star dish here is the red oil dumplings - pan fried to perfection! Squid ink fried rice is a cool concept but just tastes like normal fried rice. Dijon mustard x charsiu pork does not work at all. Lava toast is forgettable. Overall, this place has above average prices for Chinatown combined with below average portion sizes, and the dishes do not stand out much.

I visited this restaurant since someone in my group wanted crab noodle soup. The funny thing is he…read moredidn't even end up ordering that dish though as he got temped by another entree. Their menu consists of apps (mostly fried), soups and salads, lobster dishes, steaks, vietnamese seafood dishes, shellfish entrees (clams, scallops, etc), an oyster section, stir fry dishes, rice creations, and fried seafood dishes. They serve beer and wine but have some Asian wine-based cocktails. This is truly a fusion restaurant since they have Vietnamese, American, Chinese, Thai, and Peruvian influences on their menu. They have boiled seafood, of course, including crawfish during the season. On every table is also a $12.95 lunch menu with soups, sandwiches and seafood dishes. This may be one of the better deals out there. We tried a few dishes: drunken lobster, surf and turf, crab fried rice, drunken tofu, and shrimp with salted egg. Two additional people in our group came a little later and actually ordered the lunch special (pork chop plate) and chicken wings. Their napkins are a little strange as they're tri-fold style like you would normally see in a restroom. The dishes were pretty good, but I ended up eating mostly noodles since their garlic noodles are pretty addicting. The sirloin that came on the steak dish was supposedly a little tough but that is typical of a basic sirloin steak. I didn't actually get to sample it since other people grabbed it before I could. They only had L and XL size lobster the day we came...so they said their prices were around $90 and $108...I think we selected the $90 size. The drunken lobster dish can be shared between 2 people as it's a big platter but just 1 cut up lobster. The garlic noodles beneath the lobster pieces on the drunken lobster are way better than the noodles beneath the shrimp and steak on the surf and turf since they are stir-fried with lots of onions, jalapeños and what seemed to be small ground pork/beef chunks.

First time here for the lunch specials and Friday night dinner with the live band…read more The lunch specials were absolutely fantastic deals--great value and very enjoyable. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about dinner. We really enjoyed the beautiful voices and live music, but the volume was simply too loud for the size of the space, making it difficult to have a conversation. The dinner prices were on the higher side, but not unreasonable. However, the portions were relatively small and, in my opinion, didn't quite justify the price. As an example, $18 for 3 shrimps that were not even fresh.. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere and entertainment. With a little adjustment to the music volume and more generous dinner portions and food quality, this could be an even better dining experience. Most importantly, I'd focusing more on the objective of creating customers and keep them...

However, they have late night hours which is sometimes a bit hard to find and I found myself here one night. The restaurant is on the smaller side but both times I've come there's been no wait They have a good range of skewers but also large dishes to share. Food: Spicy sichuan intestine hot pot: if you like intestines this is really good with rice Dry Pot Spicy Pork Intestine: sauteed with chinese cauliflower and peppers, this is also good Cumin Beef: not too heavy on the cumin Salt Pepper Prawn: the prawns are huge and are super crispy so you can eat it shell on. i love the cilantro and fried garlic pieces on top Eggplant and greenbean: standard dish Beef tendon skewer: good texture Lamb skewer: not too gamey or tough Chicken gizzard skewer: enjoyed this as well Grilled scallops: lots of garlic, topped with vermicelli Grilled enoki mushroom: this was really good Overall, the service is fast and the food is good. The skewers are flavorful and not too heavy on numbing spices that overpower other flavors. It's definitely one of my go to late night spots for either a snack or a full dinner

My first time trying here and it went better than I expected!…read more All the appetizers that I ordered were super delicious, but a personal favorite is the Spicy Chili Wonton. I had the Spicy Tonkatsu Beef Rib and it was a nice ramen to try. The portion size is generous with so much noodles and broth. The beef rib was so tender and fatty. The only thing I'd say is although the ramen broth was delicious, there is basically no toppings. You're eating noodles and the beef rib, oh and half of an egg. The staff there were kind. If you're not in the mood to wait for seating next door at Mensho, this would definitely be a good alternative.

Very disappointing on this visit…read more Do NOT go here if you don't like to wait. The restaurant is very small, and unfortunately, they don't seem to manage their seating arrangements very well. Our party was 4 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 2. We weren't offered the option of splitting into two tables to accommodate us sooner, which we would have gladly done, especially with two young children. What made the wait even frustrating was watching a few parties of 4, along with parties of 3 and 2 who arrived after us, get seated before us. Our party could have been separated into two tables, but we weren't offered that option. When we asked about it, the waitress gave us an unpleasant look as we explained how long we had been waiting and said that we would have preferred the option to split our party rather than continue waiting. Her reaction made us feel uncomfortable for expressing a reasonable concern. We were also told they wanted to make their customers happy, but from our perspective, the seating process just didn't feel well organized. Service was also extremely slow. Between waiting for a table, waiting for our food, and dining, our total time there was about 2.5 HOURS. That's simply too long for a casual meal with two young kids. Customer service was nice during our first visit, but unfortunately, it seems to have diminished in a very short time. The food was okay, but not enough to make up for the overall experience. Cleanliness also needs attention. The restroom was not well kept and had a foul smell, which added to our disappointment. We were also charged an automatic 20% gratuity for our party of 4 adults and 2 children. I understand restaurants may have gratuity policies for certain party sizes, but considering the wait and level of service we experienced, it was disappointing. Our first visit was much better, which is why we returned. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to that first experience. Hopefully they improve their seating process, speed and consistency of service, and cleanliness.
