| - Another love/hate restaurant. I love the restaurant itself and the service is excellent. Food though is not great, looks great but the entrees are flavorless.
Loved the classy look of this place when I walked in. Nice entrance, nice furniture and traditional Chinese decor throughout. Everyone working there was very nice and took really good care of us. I was excited!
Two of us ordered Mai Tai's. They were pretty good. We had two each to make sure. Food wise we stared out with crab angels (crab puffs), pork dumplings and deep fried prawns. The crab Angels and dumplings were very good, the deep fried prawns were overly battered. The batter was too doughy and took away from the flavor of the shrimp. We couldn't finish them.
We then moved on to sizzling rice soup. It wasn't bad but didn't blow me away. The broth could have used a little more flavor.
For our entrees we ordered house special chicken, Mongolian beef and sweet and sour pork. Of the three, the Mongolian beef was the best, but didn't blow me away. House special chicken which is one of my favorites in any Chinese restaurant was just okay, very little flavor. We poured the rest of the sauce that our dumplings came with over the chicken to add flavor. Sweet and sour pork, horrible! Flavorless, not sweet or sour and again doughy like the shrimp. We left almost the entire entree on the plate.
I really wanted to like this place, but in the end it was a fail.
