  • Preface: this review is for the dinner experience, NOT the dim sum experience (which isn't offered in the evenings). When we first walked in, we noticed two things. First, the decorations. The whole restaurant is covered in gold and white cloth, from the floor to the chairs to the tables. The servers are all wearing fancy suits, and there's even a wall with a ton of wine bottles. It's not fancy like a steakhouse, but it looks nice, rather than faux-fancy. And second, we noticed the seafood tanks! You can observe the live seafood swimming and crawling around, including king crabs, lobsters, fish, shrimp, and geoduck (one of the largest edible clams!). They were all a lot of fun to watch. Once we got to our table, we were presented with a challenge: navigating the menu. There are TWO menus, each containing well over 100 items, and many of them don't have clear prices. On top of that, some of the items were only in Chinese. If you're not Chinese yourself, figuring out what to order can be quite complicated. We asked for advice from our server, but that didn't help us narrow down - it just left us with even more options. It seemed like some of the dishes were more authentic, whereas others were more "tourist-friendly." We ended up getting the "dinner for 4" (the one with BBQ pork, since there are two different "dinners for 4" - one per menu), plus some fresh scallops. The dinner came with multiple different dishes which we shared family-style. Some of them were great, such as the soup, the BBQ pork (which was the highlight), and the stir-fried shrimp. Some were just ok, such as the scallops and the fish. Others were disappointing, such as the bok choy and the dessert. I think there's a bit of a learning curve - you need to figure out what's good (and what you like) in order to maximize your enjoyment. Overall, the meal was certainly unique, and on the whole we had a good time. But the confusing ordering experience and the hit-or-miss nature of the dishes made it not as great as it could've been. If you know what you're doing, then you'll probably have a good time here. If you don't, then just be flexible and prepared!
