What restaurant…read moredoesn't take reservations on a Saturday for a party of 4, minimum of 6 so you are taking a chance going for an early 6:15 dinner and I was told an hour and a half wait (I think, too loud to really hear). Then there is no real place to wait, bar is packed with others waiting. Now the positives. Finally seated the service was very good and more importantly the food was the upscale Chinese advertised. Two of us ordered the Whole Crispy Red Snapper which our server suggested ordering just one and sharing. We ordered two but it was huge. Duck Lo Mein was also plentiful and the Honey Miso Salmon was a dish not found in most other Chinese restaurants. Prices are high compared to other Chinese places but not compared to other upscale restaurants.

They have definitely perfected the perfect balance for American Chinese food and fine dining. The portions are huge, the service is quick and the food tastes GREAT! We had so many leftovers and for all of this food it was less than $90 a person. In the future, I would have gone with a larger group to split the large portions better. I really loved their skewered chicken and steak, egg corn chicken soup was PHENOMENAL. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of gluten free options on the menu as well. Will be back!

The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

Glad I made a reservation via Google Assistant b/c it was a full house plus tons of people waiting (1hr) for their takeout orders. Great sign! We ordered quite a bit for 3 of us b/c we're excited to try them out. We loved them all especially the wontons in the authentic sauce as it should be (not in sesame or peanut sticky sauce), the salt/pepper chicken as how I remembered from back home, the delicious noodle soup with tender beef and tendon, and the flavorful black bean fish. The restaurant is nice and clean. They're busy but the kitchen was pretty quick. The waitress brought out the dish as it's done, not waiting to serve all dishes at once. We actually preferred this way. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We really enjoy our dinner. It's less than 30 min for us; we will definitely return to try some Sichuan dishes.

Pretty dark inside but have such an old school Chinese restaurant. - Food: I ordered take out for lunch special Hunan Chicken with Pork Fried Rice, Wonton Soup, complimentary spring roll, and an order of Crab Rangoon. The lunch portion of rice and chicken is not too big but enough for me personally, it also comes with soup so could definitely make you full. I love crab rangoon and want to try it everywhere. There're 8 pieces per order, they should have fried the crab rangoon a bit more since the bottom is still chewy. Wish there's more filling inside too. Definitely will be back and try other selections too!

The Crab Rangoons aren't the best I've ever had but good enough to cure my craving. Coming with 10 pieces per order for that price is actually cheaper compared to other local Chinese restaurant I'd say. It could be better if they fried the wontons a bit longer since it's still chewy. The Sesame Chicken is delicious! Good portion, I can still feel the crunchiness when biting into the chicken. Nice seasoning and saucy! I'd recommend it to anyone and will be back to try some more dishes!
