| - I decided to visit this place since my friends recommended this. After a long day at work and extremely hungry, I was not ready to wait for more than thirty minutes for a table. When my friends arrived, they suggested I check out the menu before leaving for another restaurant. The food was quite unusual and I haven't had most of the food on the menu before, so I decided to wait. I think the wait was around 30 minutes.
I liked the traditional decor and each seating area are semi enclosed; however, there were couple of tables with high pitch noise and volume which was extremely distracting. The noise level was almost unbearable for me.
Furthermore, with food at this price range, I would expect better customer service, but I was a little bit disappointed since most of them did not seem like they want to work there. I wouldn't say they were rude, but I could tell that they did not care. There were couple of dishes that we didn't finish and the servers did not have the courtesy to ask before taking our plates away.
The chicken wing stuffed shrimp was $7.99 each and was extremely sweet with too much honey and too expensive. BBQ fish was really unique with good aroma, but lacked seasonings. The pork stomach, chicken and pepper soup was quite nice, but fried rice was mediocre. The sliced beef with ox tongue in chili sauce was way too spicy, but with good seasoning. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the food.
The overall experience with food, poor customer service and atmosphere was not really justified for a pricetag of around $45 per head.
