Ryan T.Ryan Tabora: Enjoyed the scallion pancakes, pan seared pork dumplings, and three cups chicken. All were delicious!!

Charm B. T.Charm B. Trippin: SKIP! Overpriced, mediocre, salty, oily vegetables and a thoughtless dining experience. Organic canned corn should not be marked up to $7. If fresh, organic is the theme, cook veggies in season.

Tu N.Tu Nguyen: WAYYY overpriced for the portions they give you. Save your money and go to the Asian valley.
