Max • August 16, 2015The real deal for spicy dry hot pot (麻辣香锅) and fish in chili (水煮鱼). The lamb skewers are also solid with a nice alternation of meat and fat.

Jenny M. • August 9, 2013The Pollo Involtini is to die for. Port wine reduction over chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, fontina and prosciutto. The penne & sauce on the side is a bonus. Delicious.
