    Dim Sum brunch, daikon pancakes, steamed pork buns, vegetable egg rolls, and potstickers.
    Jordan T.

    Really good dim sum place! Came in for brunch when they opened at 10, we were surprised to see how many people were waiting for them to open, just goes to show that this place is good. Service is quick and efficient, tea and water arrived as soon as we sat down, order on your phone from a QR code at the table and within maybe 20 minutes the food had arrived. Potstickers and veggie spring rolls were our favorite, the potstickers are very meaty. The daikon cakes have a noticeable oceanic flavor from the shrimp, so you have to be in the mood for that.

    Had the Salt and pepper Ribs The Bomb...Wow! AWESOME servers Liz and Bri outstanding and the wonton soup super delicious Forbidden City is the best kept secret

    D2. Beef with Broccoli 芥兰牛 Almond chicken  Sweet & Sour Chicken 甜酸鸡

    We were welcomed in and sat quickly- drinks to table within a few minutes and the amount of food for money is an amazing deal. The garlic veggies were cooked to perfection and the talk of the table! The almond chicken, thick, juicy, tender, crispy and seasoned has the real almond sauce, not just chicken gravy!! We went there for the real wonton- not frozen potstickers and it did not disappoint! The sho mai dumplings are next level- highly recommend! Everything was so delicious! Felt like my family was cooking from the heart and we will be back! Yes thanks to all for a wonderful food & dining experience!!! If you liked Red Lotus- this place is 10 times better!

    Food was very disappointing. Food was flavorless and some items too greasy. We cannot find a good Chinese restaurant anymore.

    Won't return! It's super pricey and food didn't taste that good. Seems like they rushed on food. Will not return to this establishment.

We were out celebrating my buddy's birthday today, and started out next door for some smokes and drinks. I had a plan for some choices for his bday dinner, and he opted with Ms. Jane's inside BJ's Casino. First off... this place is very elegant with a fine dining experience. Secondly, Cassandra was absolutely superb!! We all thoroughly had an amazing experience, from the drinks, appetizers, to our entrees, and the service. The Lavender Martini was top notch, and we also ordered the White Mojito. That mojito was crisp and refreshing! Two spectacular cocktails. As for our meals, undeniably unbelievable!! I ordered the 12oz. Ribeye, with Garlic Potatoes and crisp Broccolini. So crisp and a unique almost vinaigrette flavoring, with a subtle spice. As a side, we ordered the Thousand Layer Potato. My first time ever having this, but seen how it was made on a video. Simply divine. My wife ordered the Braised Bison over Polenta, with some Carrots. This is the tastiest Bison we've ever had!! We finished the evening with a Dubai Chocolate Fudge Sunday, and Cassandra gave us each a spoon to share in this decadence. Needless to say, my buddy had an incredible day of celebration! Thank you for this wonderful experience! As always, Enjoy & Happy Birthday, Wazowski!

    We booked a reservation at Ms. Jane's for date night, and I'll admit the concept had me curious…read more Fine dining inside a bingo hall is either a stroke of genius or a dare someone actually followed through on. Turns out it's the former, at least in atmosphere. The service was genuinely lovely from start to finish. The host, server, and table assistants were warm and attentive. No notes there. We went with the ribeye prix fixe, which felt like the obvious call given that Ms. Jane's has built its reputation around it. The menu included a salad, two ribeyes with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and dessert for $150 plus wine. The salad was beautiful and delicious. It just could've used some cheese, and I will die on that hill. The mashed potatoes were legitimately outstanding and nearly redeemed the entire evening on their own. The broccoli was fine. Broccoli is always just fine. Then there were the ribeyes. They were enormous, beautifully presented, and unfortunately not much else. Both cuts had an excessive amount of fat and lacked the depth of flavor you'd expect from a restaurant that's staked its identity on this one dish. We make better steaks at home, which is not something you want to be thinking about after dropping $150 before wine. Dessert closed things out on a high note. A chocolate and vanilla mousse topped with genuinely delicate whipped cream. In the moment we told ourselves we'd come back and try something else. A few days of reflection later, that enthusiasm cooled but it didn't disappear entirely. The service was too good, the mashed potatoes too memorable, and the mousse too solid to write the place off completely. Ms. Jane's clearly has something going on. We just hope the ribeye isn't the thing they're most proud of.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I came here for my birthday as they have an amazing free birthday package and I really wanted to…read moreget my pink crown replaced as my dog broke it thinking it was a toy. We arrived around 9pm-ish on a Saturday where they had live music playing at the bar. We asked to be seated away from the bar as we wanted to have conversations and felt the music was too loud to do that and our hostess was more than happy to accommodate that. Our server Wizz was absolutely the highlight of our visit as he ensured everything we ordered was brought out, checked in us at appropriate times and had a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, they were out of the pink crowns which seems like it is a popular choice as our server shared they only had the yellow and blue one. My brother got the sausage pasta, my boyfriend got their beef fried rice, my mom and I shared the Just the Basics seafood boil, and we got onion rings to share. I know last time I did the birthday package, I was only allowed to use from the alcohol options of a margherita or a Blue Hawaiian but I prefer fruity drinks and the Blue Hawaiian is a slushie drink. Luckily it seems you can choose a Roy Roger or Shirley Temple (used to be for kids' birthdays) and I went with the Shirley Temple. It was okay, I feel like it was more Sprite tasting and not much of the grenadine. The food arrived and everything tasted great. We were really impressed with the seafood boil and everyone got to try it out even though it is suited for one person. The yum yum sauce that comes with the fried rice is heavenly and my boyfriend who doesn't use too much sauce doused his fried rice with it but it was absolutely the best. My brother enjoyed his sausage pasta as well. We got our ice cream which was refreshing after all the food we devoured. They even brought out the magic candle which they say is reserved for parties of 6 and more but it just shows that Wizz wanted to make my birthday memorable. Two employees came over with Wizz to sing me happy birthday which felt genuine and not forced like at other restaurants. We got our photo which also came in this cute green frame to take home, that's a huge set up as I was just given the photo when I last celebrated my birthday. Definitely looking forward to come back to use the $10 gift certificate and for an amazing time.

    When online to see where the best wings in Lakewood were and several sources said, zesty…read moresteakhouse. So on a rainy Sunday night, headed over there to have some wings drinks and seafood boil. It is definitely the old black Angus. The decor is almost the same. And on Sunday night, you could hear the jazz in the lounge, which was nice. Ordered Long Island iced teas and they were all alcohol so if you like alcohol, this is your place. I asked for extra Coke which they gave me with no problem. The appetizer plate had hush puppies, onion rings, celery, mozzarella sticks, and the infamous wings. The wings lived up to the expectations and we will definitely be back to have wings here again. Also ordered a feeling crabby, seafood boil with snow, crab, head, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes in the house special sauce, and it was very good. Almost as good as Captain crab. And the crab here was done perfectly. Definitely coming back to try more things on the menu Our total with two drinks, appetizer platter and feeling crabby with tax and tip for 3 people was $110 (& we did have some leftovers) Was so busy eating that I forgot to take pictures (next time)
