Good authentic Chinese cuisine! Kung pao shrimp and salt & pepper squid was delicious! Limited selection of alcohol, but the Tsingtao beer is a must try Asian lager. Staff was very attentive and ran by a humble family! Fine for a super casual dinner, nothing to go crazy about.

The restaurant had good reviews so I thought it would be decent. We waited over an hour for our food to get to us. The server said they were busy, but there were only two other tables seated in the entire restaurant besides us (and they both sat after us and we proceeded to watch them all get their food before us). The server only checked on us after I waved him down. The meal was wayyy over priced for what it was and for the amount they give you. Would not suggest going there for dinner.

We went with hesitation as reviews were not great. We were with a larger party and this was one of two restaurants that was able to accommodate us. Welcome was weird and restaurant was very cold. The saving grace was the amazing tasting food. I have been in China many times and this came the closest to what I enjoyed in Shanghai, Beijing and many other places I dined.
