Felicia Z.Felicia Z.: Best Chinese food in the city (in my opinion), but you gotta know what to order. Real Chinese is fresh ingredients and great spices. Fresh steamed fish and string beans with yibin are amazing.

Jason B.Jason B.: Been there several times and the service hugely depends on who your head waiter is. The food is only okay at best. Overpriced, specially the vegetable dishes.

JD H.JD Hong: Get vermicelli noodles with minced pork. You won't regret it
