| - Trying to be high end, classy Chinese restaurant, but just missed the mark best describes it.
I came here tonight with my husband to celebrate my birthday.
Decor: Modern, clean lines, elegant. Lots of round booth seats for 2-4 ppl in the middle of restaurant and rows of tables of 6 along the sides. I didn't see any big round tables for 10+. Maybe they have some private rooms?
Service and ambience: I know they are really trying hard to provide top notch service, but it just ain't cutting it. You only know what you know. They need to take lessons from the service industry. Ya, I know this is a Chinese restaurant and if you don't hear plates clanging then that's pretty good. But I also heard your kitchen staff conversation from the back. I also heard your staff being trained in front of our table. We accidentally dropped food on the table cloth. We are so sloppy, but please get a napkin or crumb sweep to clean it off. So you see, if you are trying to be high end and charge high prices, I'd expect you do your homework too.
Food: We ordered a set menu for 2. ($138) Came with
1)sashimi plate - ok/ meh. there was scales on one of my sashimi. Not premium grade fish.
2)fried oysters with honey and black pepper- only came with two pieces
3)2.5 lb lobsters two ways: claws were stir fried, body was steamed - good , not exceptional
4)snow pea shoot in fish broth- pretty good
5) dessert was pumpkin sago soup ( no flavour) and a sad looking fruit plate..
The food was good, but not exceptional.
So this place is not good value for the money. Just a pretentious place for people to flaunt their money.
Funny tip: they don't take credit cards. They will accept cash, debit and a credit card from China!???
