    Celebrated my birthday with my girls! Loved the food! Our server Andre was amazing! We ordered a bunch of small bites and dumplings. The only thing we didn’t like was the ribs. But the walnut shrimp, beef dumplings, Brussels sprouts, shrimp boa buns were 100/10!

    Bartender was phenominal! She was very attentive and efficient with our order. Food was great! Restaurant service was ok. We had a 6:30 reservation. We were informed we would be delayed with our seating. It was nearly 7:00 when we were seated. Server wasn't quite as efficient as the bartender, as we waited longer for food and drinks. The duck, eggplant and chicken salad were all really tasty!
