I got the cocktail that I think on the menu it said their would be sparklers or something with the presentation, so I guess I got my hopes up. A lot of their social media videos had bubbles, smokes, fire, sparklers, but my drink just came with smoke. It still looked pretty good, and tasted nice. The menu is huge. You can do a more 'Chinese style' dinner by sharing large entree items or you can get your own combo plate. I got the combo plate with 2 crab rangoons and general tso chicken. Food is pretty basic (well I did choose something basic haha). I've been here once around 8 years ago before they renovated to become this more modern Asian style. I must say its interesting what they've done to the place, they definitely have more business than before. But honestly it just feels like everything is for show, food is alright.
