We went to their soft opening to check out their roasted duck and it did not disappoint. I tried the Bejing style and it came out with two different sauces, buns, onions and cucumbers. It was so crispy, fresh, and downright perfect that I now want to go back and try their Cantonese style ASAP. We also ordered the sesame chicken and green beans, all were very good and rated high. The only down side was we ordered off their dim sum menu (red bean dumplings) and unfortunately the manager came by and said they only offer dim sum up until 3 pm. We'll be back to test out that menu!

Fri-2/28/25. Came to try the dim sum at this new restaurant. Emily helped us today. Great atmosphere. Food came out a little at a time which worked out fine whhere all yhwaw plates came at once and would get cold whichwas nice. All food was hot, fresh and flavorful. We'll be back to try more items. This place is will handle sizable crowd if need be. Give them a try 😉

We stopped by for their soft opening and this is definitely going to be a must try spot for anyone visiting as well as locals! We tried a variety of foods to kinda gauge the flavors and we were impressed by every dish we tried! The Cantonese Roast Duck Half was delicious and the marinade was so flavorful and the skin was so crispy! The Macau Pork Belly was so juicy and the fat was rendered perfectly, the skin was also super crispy! The Garlic Fried Pork Ribs were amazing! My favorite dish! They were garlicky but not overpowering and the fry on the rib wasn't too crunchy and the meat itself was so juicy and tender. The Jellyfish and Pigtrotter Salad, amazing as well! The jellyfish had the perfect chewy texture and the pirates had so much flavor! We also tried the steamed dumplings which were good, they didn't stand out much but they were definitely tasty! The last thing we had was the Chicken Lo Mein just to try a basic and the noodles were so silky and the sauce wasn't too salty like others I've tried. Overall the food was phenomenal! My only complaint is that the service is slightly lacking. I never got a refill on my drink and the Lo Mein never came out with the food so we had to take it to go. However, it seems like a lot of the staff is still trying to learn the menu and all so I'm expecting they will get quicker as time goes! I can't wait to come back to try more dishes!

BEWARE that Dim Sum is ONLY served before 3pm even though there is no sign anywhere mentioning It. Unfortunately we got there at 3:15pm just to try the Dim Sum and couldn't. We decided to try two dishes: the kung Pao chicken it was ok but there are better places for that price and the Signature Lo Mein was flavorless, their noodles were bland and we had to add soy sauce and hot chili to make it better. We mentioned to the waiter and she just said "it depends on your preference" later somebody else came over to ask and we mentioned the Lo Mein being flavorless and he said that next time "you have to mention before touching the plate" how are we going to know the food is good before touching?
A little disappointed since we've been waiting for it to open.

Very nice inside. They advertise they serve Roast Duck and Dim Sum outside the restaurant. When we went for dinner, we were told they only serve dim sum for lunch, and they did not have roast duck available when we tried to order. Server was kind and apologetic, but I think management addressing/apologizing would have been courteous.
We unfortunately had to leave without eating anything. Was very excited to try, but I guess we’ll have to try another day.

Been looking forward to this place opening for a while. It's supposed to be a upper middle Chinese restaurant similar to a Golden Wok or a Ding How. The decor is great. Modern and well lit. Paris was our server and she was awesome. The problem comes down to the food and prices. The menu is huge which may not be a good thing.
We sit down order the appetizers and then after a bit place an order for the entrees. Appetizers come out first.
Appetizers Egg rolls - Not made in house but that's alright. They were perfectly fine. 5 dollars when they should have been 3.50. Fungus and cucumber salad - Actually really good. Gave us high hopes as they clearly have some more unique dishes. Was a decent value too.
Now it's opening day so I did think there could be a wait for our food and sure enough it took about 30 minutes after we got out appetizers to get the entrees. Our server was apologetic. It's understandable on their opening day so I assume as they get into the swing of things it will get better.
Combination fried rice - Oof. This was a swing and a miss. I had noticed when I walked in and saw some other people's plates the rice wasn't particularly colored. Still I was curious. The place we received was a decent portion but it did indeed lack color. The meats also had no color. When you took a bite of it all together it was okay. If you broke down each ingredient it was pretty bad. Bland chicken and beef, the shrimp was obviously frozen previously, which is fine, but it still had too much water in it. It was de-veined though so that's nice at least. There also wasn't that much protein. For 13 dollars it was simply not a good value. Especially when it has two big competitors so close. Had this been 8 dollars I would be saying something else. The recurring theme is value proposition.
Orange beef - So this was the dish that had me say "yeah we ain't coming back". It's got a tempura type batter, but chewy pieces of beef. The orange sauce itself was awesome actually. But the fried beef left an awful oil film in your mouth. Now fried food can be oily by nature, but let me hit you with some science. When you fry something the water in the food and batter are released which keep the oil from completely entering the batter (bit of an oversimplification) . If you fry things at the right temperature and length, it should not be filled with oil. That's why high quality fried chicken is so good and doesn't feel so bad to eat versus fast food fried chicken. So when this dish leaves oil in your mouth that has a bad taste and stings a bit, it means the oil was used all day, for multiple things, and was cook without the best technique. Worse still this was a 18-19 dollar dish. I took a few bites and then asked to send it back. They did remove it from my bill after I asked them to. Which I appreciated and why they are getting an extra star. The server really was trying her best. This dish shows a lack of technique and a poor understanding of a good value.
General Tso's chicken - So I will preface this one with me not liking the puffy style fried chicken that some places do. You know how Lee's Garden or Chop sticks buffet does it? Big puffy exterior with chicken chunks inside of it? Just not my thing. Now I ripped off the batter and man, that was some good chicken. Flavorful, had some color. The sauce was sweet and tangy with just a bit of spice. I can honestly say this dish was pretty good. Not my favorite preparation method, but that's a me thing. On a technical level it was great. Serving it with microgreens doesn't mean it should be 16 dollars. This should probably be more like 10.99.
I see they have lunch specials, and maybe that's where it's at. This whole meal ( 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 drink) was 48 dollars, after sending back the beef, which is honestly just too much. Had it been 30 dollars I would have said it was pretty good. But for 48 dollars I could have eaten at Golden Wok or Ding How and had a better quality meal. I could have gone to chopsticks and had only slightly worse food but more of it. At least the service is great.

Husband and I arrived to their first grand opening. First thing I noticed is how clean and professional everyone was. The food came at perfect timing. Alex was our server and he was always checking on us at the right time. I had the truffle mushroom scallop and my husband had the Mongolia beef. Husband raved over the wonton soup. I loved the fried potstickers and the truffle mushroom scallops. We highly recommend this place!!! They have unique entrees and the name is perfect because it’s TASTY.
