Since this is Tepe Prime, the Quick China ambiance is much more dramatic than the GOP restaurant of…read morethe same name. Here, giant vishnus of Xian terra cotta soldiers tower over guests in the open plan dining room... as colored-lighting whisks you away to a bamboo garden. It's slightly creepy but cool points for the aquariums / runway, over which waiters walked and diners gawked.
MAKE RESERVATIONS if you want a table during weekend evenings. My mate and I didn't have reservations but we arrived for a late supper. We were not disappointed to be seated under a bright spotlight. We could see our food.
Customer service was more attentive (but not annoying) compared to the GOP wait staff. KUDOS! Prices are high, but there's little competition for upscale Asian fusion. Puuullease, Walk n Wok poses no competition.
Though the menu features Chinese and Thai foods, I usually order sushi. #withdrawal my friend suggested we order the sushi moriawase. Given the selection, this sampler is worth its price. Nice presentation as well. I wanted to pair it with sake -- but the restaurant didn't have any. We settled on rose / rosado wine. :( I miss you, plum sake!
Our waiter was polite and worked well with his teammates to keep our table tidy. Shortly after we ordered, we were brought skewered sesame chicken as well as a shot glass of apple cider. I suppose an amuse bouche -- but it's a long shot from my California standards. :/
BONUS: instead of the typical islak mendil (handi-wipes) diners get slightly warm, moist towels. :) This location has ramen noodles; my friend said the Bilkent venue does not. I will return to critique this offering.
NEGATIVE: I don't dare to reach into that communal bowl of fortune cookies. :(
