| - My wife's colleagues come here for happy hour pretty frequently and I'll stop by to join. She mainly wants to go for their lettuce wraps and we usually don't stay for a full meal. I remembered why after we came for dinner on a Tuesday with a gift certificate. The combo was a pretty good deal, the service was good, the food was just OK with nothing really standing out or memorable.
We were seated for our late dinner at 9:15 in one of the U-shaped booths against the wall that faces the kitchen. We had a peaceful dinner in the Asian themed, but modern dining area. The menu is varied demarcating which dishes are spicy, vegetarian, lighter, or new. Our server was Galyna who took good care of us and was very friendly.
The dinner for two for $42.95 is comprised of two soups, one appetizer, two entrees, and one dessert. The egg drop soup and hot and sour soup were standard. The pork dumplings drizzled with a chili sauce were probably the best dish of the night. The minuscule amounts of chicken we found in the chicken lo mein were dry and I didn't go for the sauce in the pepper steak, not much of a garlic or a pepper bite. The banana spring rolls didn't save the entrees but they were a tasty finish.
We appreciate that everything is made from scratch, but this restaurant is designed to put out volume like other chains. I think their happy hour where everything is $6 is solid. If you come for dinner, the "dim sum" items have been the most consistent and flavorful for us.
