I met a couple of friends here last week for an early (before 5pm) get together that I thought was…read morea happy hour, but turns out they don't have happy hour so we paid regular prices. The place reminded me of Ling Wu in the Grove area because the decor looked similar. Maybe they are owned by the same people? Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

The onion pancakes were amazing. And the special noodle with garlic pork was nothing I've had before but so so so good. And the portion was huge. We shared the onion pancakes amongst the 4 of us. And then the other two dishes with me and my fiance and we had leftovers. I want to come back here and try the pig's feet and orange chicken. Their menu is huge and I wish I could've ordered more but I knew we couldn't finish it. You know a Chinese restaurant is authentic when there's duck blood and pig's feet.

The serving size was definitely worth it because I had leftovers, and it somehow tasted even better reheated the next day. Always a great sign when the quality holds up after taking it home. Solid spot for pho if you're looking for a satisfying meal with big portions. Note to self: make sure to ask for the chili crisp oil on the side next time. It didn't taste nearly as good without it, and they don't automatically include it. Definitely worth requesting because it adds so much more flavor.

All amazing! Timing and tempo could have been better. My meal came out around 5-10 minutes after my dates meal. His was cold by the time mine came. We were done with our meals for quite a while before the server checked on us about dessert. We were told we only had 3 minutes to order dessert which was a bit off putting considering we had been ready to order at least 15 minutes prior. We got our dessert shortly before 10, and at 10:02 the house lights came on glaringly bright - aka time to get out. We hadn't even gotten our check yet. Overall the back end of the night felt rushed which put a damper on the experience. I would come back maybe during social hour or earlier in the day.

If you are looking for Americanized Chinese food that you could find all over in the 1980's this is…read morethe best I have found in several decades with the added bonus of not feeling hungry again in 30 minutes and no MSG hangover. There was nothing that I would not eat again, but the highlight was definitely the crab rangoon, the best that I have ever had anywhere and I have lived in 5 countries on 4 different continents and been to another 32 countries. The PuPu platter was good, but I would likely go with separate items in the future with potentially skipping the shrimp and spring rolls. I really liked the ability to pick the spice level on the entrées. I recommend ordering the fried rice entrée, the fried rice that comes with the other entrées is ok, but the fried rice entrée really takes it up flavor wise. I have to assume the Indonesian food is authentic as there were at least 5 families in traditional dress going in for pickup or dinner. I definitely look forward to trying Indonesian selection next time around. It is a family owned establishment and they could not be nicer. Definitely worth the out of the way drive for me.

Shrimp and walnut prawn very delicious good size portion nice big shrimp and not gooey . Combination fried rice has plenty of meat. Great flavor and shockingly also has large shrimp. Mongolian beef because I thought I had to give it a try most Asian places I am very particular and don't like chewy meat. Very good not chewy! Bakmi Ayam noodles with chicken and mushroom very good. I like this more than I thought I would. I also appreciate that it had fresh greens on top. it's also served with some chicken broth. I did not use it yet, smells amazing though. When I walked in, I was greeted by two friendly young ladies. I placed my order and waited. I do not have a large waiting area. They also do not have a large dining room. I would love to come back and bring friends as it's a very cute place and the staff is very friendly. Small and casual decor would be a great place to come with friends. They do have some Asian beer in the back cooler. I can see from where I am standing. I apologize, not taking a photo of each dish however I didn't think about it until after I made my plate.
