Two different employees lied to me and said they did not take credit cards, which they do. Made me go down the block to get cash and pay a service charge. Then I saw them swiping cards. Never again.
RenoMay 16, 2013This place is a tourist trap. The food used to be good 15years ago but now shafting tourists. Go to nearby R&G Lounge for excellent Chinese food. Tip: go downstairs and have baked crab
Mary BethJanuary 9, 2013Bad service they never refilled my water, they forgot my salad the food was good but not worth it. Rude waiters bad plum wine.. I was really excited to come here but will never come again 
Dume SiacciJune 5, 2011The sesame chicken is not so bad. Order 1 for two persons it will be ok with steamed rice !
Sheriff BullockNovember 16, 2011Small menu and very pricey. Do not like. My sesame chicken is all breading. I wanted to go to Chef Jia's next door but they weren't open.
Chelsea HamiltonOctober 7, 2011a rather abrasive woman I'm assuming was the owner hustled me into ordering the sesame chicken, was definitely not disappointed!
Michelle CaldeiraJune 29, 2011Ok, so it may be the touristy thing to do...guess what? I'm a tourist :)
Chris MartinNovember 20, 2010Just let them bring you food and rip you off like a tourist. It's the cool thing to do, I promise.
Kimi PryorJanuary 9, 2013The wonton soup was not what I expected, but it is the bomb.com. Btw, don't sit near the front door.
Jane PerrinJune 22, 2013The restaurant is not Very good , the food is bad. The service leaves something to be désired. The Staff os rude and nasty (crasy) advice: avoid this restaurant ! The crédit cart is not accepted

"Get the minched chicken with lettuce wrap. A great appetizer for a small group of four or as a meal if dining alone! 😉"

"Superb Dim Sum. I particularly liked the leek dumplings, zhiu zhou dumplings, and pork buns. Be sure to use the spicy red sauce generously!"
Neal Joseph - 7.9
"Very very tasty. The salt cod fried rice is a must get. And their West Lake porridge is perfect for a sick day"
