Waiter was really nice and explained everything perfectly, he also took the time to show us how to use chopsticks which was really sweet. Food was great, large portions. Restaurant was really pretty only thing id change would be maybe up the music volume but other than that it was a great experience.

Inconsistent food! Maybe I'm spoiled having lived in the South Loop for years! Do NOT order the Oriental Soup! It was Chicken Noodle! Nothing Oriental about it!!

Amazing service and really good food! We tried this restaurant many years ago and didn't like it, but after hearing some rave reviews tried it again. So glad we did! Everything was delicious and like I said, the service was amazing. We had crab rangoon (not super sweet, which is my preference), egg rolls (could have used some stronger flavors, but was flaky and very good) and kung bao chicken, which was DELICIOUS. We'll definitely be back!
