This gussied-up chain bustles with singles and families craving Chinese food favorites.

In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis at the bar and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.

Custom order not recommended.

Went expecting great food, service and experience but was let down. The waiter took our order without writing it down, which I thought was impressive. We ordered a chicken meal and asked for Bok Choy and Eggplant to be added, We both got white rice, which I nicely let go, but it was served at room temperature and was hard in spots. When the regular meal came we dug in and noticed that there was no Bok Choy or Eggplant. When we were able to get the waiter's attention, too about ten minutes, we brought the missing to his attention, which he quickly ran off to take care of, but when the order came, again it was missing something, the Bok Choy. We had also ordered (I believe it was) the green curry chicken. The chicken seemed slightly undercooked (chewy) and had very litle flavor. We decided to let go as we just wanted to finish and go home. As we prepared to leave an employee, not a waiter, (seemed more of a supervisor), asked us how our meal experience went. My guest was ready to go all out but I spoke up first and told him all went well. I just wanted to go home.

• Pros: Nice looking decor
• Cons: food quality, messed up order.

Best Chinese Bistro in California

by fishdo42

Great food. Their lettuce wraps are an excellent appetizer, wor wanton soup is also great and enough to share with up to 4 people. I've tried almost everything on the menu and all of it is delicious and unique. Drinks are good too and many are quite strong.

• Pros: Excelent food and drinks
• Cons: usually a long wait

Great food- the mongolian beef is wonderful as are the Dan Dan Noodles...spicy with a cooling effect from the cucumbers. It is a nice place for a date and i have always enjoyed dinner here. The Mai Tai's are delicious and STRONG. BE CAREFUL.

• Pros: Great food, good service
• Cons: usually there is a wait

Big Disappointment

by jsnso818

The room was sterile, with hard "15-minute chairs", and noisy. Extremely slow, indifferent, service by a bored waitstaff. I've had better Chinese food at Panda Express - it was flavorless, and was cold by the time the waiter got around to bringing it to table. The much talked about lettuce wraps were not much more than a very mildly seasoned hamburger meat in a tired lettuce leaf. The drinks were small and watered. Anyone who likes the food here doesn't really like Chinese food. One visit was MORE than enough. Never again!!!

• Pros: none
• Cons: bad food, bad drinks, horrible service
