I attended a dinner here for a friend last night and being my second time here I was not wow'd in a way that would make me travel from the suburbs just to go to this place. That being said if people were going here I wouldn't turn my nose up at it....I just know the burbs does it better when it comes to quality Chinese food.
The cost of dinner was covered last night so while I cannot comment on their prices last night I know that on a previous lunch date here I was wow'd....by how ludicrous their prices were. If memory serves me correctly an appetizer and 2 main courses (with water to drink) came at a lunch time price tag of over $50. No way Jose!
I will say that the food was good quality and cooked well. My friend had organized a french service style dinner where platters were brought around and items were plated for us. Hard to keep track what's hitting your plate with each wave of food but a couple items that stood out were the hot and sour soup (I usually don't like this dish but it was thick and flavorful) as well as the gigantic Gyoza we each received as an appetizer.
Things I wasn't crazy about, the service was a little short and at one point during the dinner service we all commented that we felt the server was almost yelling at us what things were....a tad rude. The only other thing was the Peking duck tacos or whatever they were, they really skimped on the "duck" several of us literally got well cooked tasty skin. is that common? I have no basis for comparison, if that's what Peking duck is thennnn it was great, if there was supposed to be some meat attached to that skin thennnnnn I would say negative 1 cool point.
As I said earlier, I don't know that I shall return here on my own steam, but if someone organizes something or its a spot for a meeting then I could see myself dining here.
