    The food and drinks are wonderful, but it is SO LOUD it’s hard to carry in a conversation. Also, our waiter brought our dinner out too fast as we had barely received our cocktails and appetizer. For that reason I gave it 4 stars. Might be better to go when you can sit outside.

    Cocktails were so overpriced! While food was good, amount per order was so small compared to most Chinese restaurants. Very noisy. Best part of the evening was our waiter, Antonio. Very nice and efficient. Better value for your money elsewhere.

    New chinese restaurant in Danville so was very excited to try it and it was good, not awesome, but very good! we had the salt and pepper shrimp, veggie chow main, general Tsao chicken and Wagu beef and broccoli and homemade dumplings. all the food was tasty and I will go back for the chow main, because it was full of flavor and delicious veggies like bok choy, which is my favorite. staff was very nice too and the whole experience was easy and warm.

    Our first time eating here. It was New Years Eve. The food was outstanding!! The service was great even though they were very busy. It’s on the higher price range for Chinese food…but every dish we ordered was delicious…so worth paying a little more for it!

    Very good Chinese food....nothing exotic about the menu, but the ingredients are fresh, not overly spiced, and the portions are decent. For the four of us, we ordered Jasmine rice, chow mien (which was excellent), the prawns and walnuts, and the orange chicken. All were very good to excellent. The noise level when the inside restaurant is packed is loud but when the weather cooperates and the doors and outside seating is open, I am sure it will be more conducive to conversation. They could drape some lovely cloths between the open ceiling rafters which also might help some.

    High quality, delicious food! The black pepper wagyu beef and orange chicken were tender and flavorful. Service was great even though they seemed short staffed. Randy, our server, was attentive and deserves a raise!! He was host, server, and bartender but kept a friendly, calm demeanor. Prices were high for the quantity, but it was so good we will definetely be back!

    Had the bento box lunch special - food was delicious ! There was a lot of noise and the cook was yelling on the phone in the bar area - super loud ! There was also a handyman moving a ladder around doing something with the lights over the customers heads - weird that they would allow that during dining hours … but he was quick. Server was friendly but he was the only one handling the entire restaurant- so service was spotty. Still love that we have an Asian restaurant that serves fresh food though. I will definitely be back.

    Great food. The sole was the star of the table. Only downside - so loud. No baffling to absorb the sound.

    Service wasn't great. We had to wait around 30 minutes for our order, and 15 for a diet coke.
