| - We came here for family dinner...
Decor- very modern looking, a lot of purple... depends on your taste, some may consider it tacky but some may like it
Service - the service is pretty good. They try to change your plates when they get dirty in between courses but sometimes they forgot when things get busy and you have to remind them. I feel that like most Chinese restaurants, they bring out the course according to how fast the chef finishes preparing them, but not looking at the speed of how fast the patrons are eating. It seems that the dishes are competing with space on the table although it could just be that we ordered too much food. One time they brought out our steamed fish when we are still working on 3 dishes on the table and we had to ask the fish to be brought out later...then when that happened, the fish was just lukewarm. This is a common problem you see in Chinese restaurants though... not just this one.
The waiters are attentive. At one point I counted 4 waiters at our table.
Food...all the food are very well done, I like the geo duck- some type of shell fish. They prepare it 3 ways, sashimi, shabu shabu style and deep fried. I find sashimi the best, the meat was crunchy and sweet. The left over broth from the shabu shabu was also great... it was sweet with a hint of the ocean.
The meat dishes- beef with caramelized onion was very tender and juicy. The pipa duck was savory with mouthful of duck fat flavour and crispy skin.
We also had lobster, the aforementioned steamed fish, as well as some fried rice. These were a bit less memorable as they were similar to other Chinese restaurants
For dessert we had some sort of mango yoghrty pudding that was very light and refreshing. I don't really know the name, but apparently it's something you have to order ahead of time.
I think overall, it depends on what type of dining experience you are looking for. Chinese restaurants are not known for their aimnience or services, but the food is definitely tasty if you know what to order
