| - Came here with some guys from work. Had Peking duck (very nice!), some kind of fish in oil (ok, kinda weird - it was some fish in about a gallon of oil and hot peppers), something with taro paste that resembled deep fried rolls (dang, those were goooood), some garlic green beans (dang, I'm going to need a pack of breath mints..), pigs' feet (fatty but fabulous), and shrimp (eaten with shell, due to laziness - call me spoiled, but I like my cooked shrimp to arrive peeled). Probably missing something besides that. The restaurant was clean and classy, and the food was quite good (though I admit I came in with lowered expectations due to other reviews). The service like most Asian restaurants was sub-par and required flagging the server to get service, but that's par for the course - I don't think there's a single authentic Chinese restaurant I've been to that takes things to the extreme with service like a Western (eg. Jack Astor's) place would. Can't comment about the value, since someone else paid, but definitely worth a return visit.
Probably a 3.5 stars but not much negative really here, so rounding up to 4..
