Overall: I love the interior of this place, it’s very clean and modern! The service was also wonderful, our server was attentive to all of our needs and continued to check up on us periodically. The food was delicious my favorite being the honey walnut shrimp and XLB. Their 4-person combo is such a great deal, 5 different dishes for ~$60 including tax!! Honey walnut shrimp: This dish was my fav. The shrimp were so crunchy and perfectly cooked and the sweetness didn’t overpower the delicate flavor of the shrimp. The walnuts added a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor. Juicy pork dumplings (XLB): The skin was thin and delicate, holding in a generous amount of savory, hot broth. The pork filling was flavorful and tender. They came out piping hot, so be sure to let them cool slightly before enjoying! Sesame green onion pancake: It was perfectly crispy and flaky on the outside with a soft, chewy interior. The combination of green onion and toasted sesame seeds gave it a wonderful, aromatic flavor that was both simple and delicious. Garlic chicken wings: The chicken wings were fried to a perfect golden crisp, with a satisfyingly crunchy skin. The garlic flavor was prominent and savory

This restaurant is such a gem! Every single dish we ordered was full of flavor and really stood out. The Hunan stir-fried pork was spicy and perfect with rice, the Shanghai-style spare ribs were crispy on the outside and tender inside, the hot & sour soup was super refreshing, the beer duck was rich and flavorful, and the eggplant with green beans was cooked just right. My personal favorite was the sesame scallion pancake—it was so fragrant and addictive that we finished it in no time. On top of the great food, the restaurant has private rooms with KTV, which makes it perfect for group dinners, parties, or family gatherings. The vibe was lively, the service was friendly, and the dishes came out fast. Overall, it was such a fun and delicious dining experience—I’ll definitely be coming back

I love the remodeling of this place. I think it’s a spot that’s still being slept on. Not only can you still order Northern food on the front of the menu, there’s also delicious entrees on the back that’s perfect for their private banquet rooms. I got a casual lunch with the $33 for 3 and added on their signature green onion pancakes. The private rooms look amazing for a dinner party with karaoke & they have a nice wine selection now so it can also be upscale. With all the karaoke dinner parties happening, I thought the service was really attentive.

My parents came here to eat multiple times and told me this place had good food, so we came here together for dinner. They have a good amount of tables and 3 private rooms. We were seated fast since it wasn't that full inside. We ended up ordering the lamb soup, thick green onion pancakes, duck, sauteed green beans, and pork dry tofu. They were served in around 10 minutes, not too long. The duck didn't really match my tastes but my parents enjoyed it. As for the green beans and dry tofu, both were too salty and I had to eat it with rice to stomach it. I guess people with heavier taste buds would not have a problem with those. As for the pancake, it was alright but it was seasoned a bit too heavily with black pepper. The soup was probably the best of all of them (close second would be the pancake) but was a bit too oily. The dishes overall well pretty average and somewhat lacking compared to its prices. There are much better tasting Chinese restaurants in this area at around the same price. The portions are also average. For some reason, they like to use very large plates that take up a lot of space on their small tables even though portion isn't that much. I wouldn't come back ag

Came back and saw they remodeled! Still plenty of parking in the back. Inside, the layout isn’t open anymore and has a private room. The hostess led me to this room without me asking and I was shocked/pleasantly surprised! My party had only 4 people and yet we were given the nice room (I think cause when we arrived, there weren’t many customers there). The service was great in providing water refills and when we needed to order more food. Their beef rolls are impressive!! They are crispy and super tasty! The soup dumplings are very good and flavorful and the stir fried noodles are delicious too! We ordered the house beef noodle soup but forgot to ask for it without spice, it is pretty spicy! I also loved the decoration inside the private room. Very beautiful! They also have really cool dragon chopstick holders.
