This is the Real Deal. Classic American Chinese food served fresh and hot with excellent service. I can't believe that I had never eaten here until I got a Groupon. I even suffered severe" Groupon Guilt" when the meal was over and the check came. To be completely honest I could not bring myself to use it on my first visit. The food had been too wonderful. The wait staff was too good. I ordered 3 entrees that day...figuring I would take home the leftovers. I had scallion chicken made with dark meat chicken (your choice) , fresh vegetables with tofu ( medium spicy) and chicken and broccoli . All were outstanding..
The atmosphere is hard to find anymore. Three large aquariums dominate the two levels of dining area. I chose a booth in the bar area that is right next to one of the tanks.It is soo relaxing to just watch the fish swim. You understand why Drs offices always had aquariums back in the 1900s.
If you are looking for a Chinese food "fix" this is the place. I am tired of the little dingy take-out joints that are in every strip mall. This place is an escape to a more sophisticated era of Chinese restaurants in Charlotte. I also tried the lunch buffet and it was excellent. Enjoy.
