I've eaten here twice, once as takeout and once at a meeting. For the meeting dinner, everything tasted great but the waiters kept all the leftover food in the back even though i requested they be packed so we could bring back to the other coworkers or home. By the end of the evening several pretended they had no idea where it went and after some insisting, i got the bbq pork buns and minced chicken to take home. Pretty sure those waiters took the food home. We never touched it, it was banquet style. So I'm sure they wanted it for themselves. Delivery food was very salty. Shanghai chow mein and minced chicken were so salty they were inedible. Total waste. Kung pao was ok but not as tender as described. Tamarind ribs had good flavor but some pieces were tough. To be honest, harbor view was also pretty bad so i think right now the Chinese restaurants are just lacking. Luckily door dash saved the day and i got refunds for two items.
Large restaurant with a nice ambiance, though it can get pretty noisy. Generous portions. We ordered three entrées and one dessert to share between two people and still had leftovers. Service was excellent, and the staff was friendly. The only surprise was the automatic 20% gratuity plus a 5% surcharge added to our bill for a party of two, since that’s usually only standard for large parties. We would have tipped 20% ourselves (minus the surcharge), but we would’ve preferred to choose the tip amount rather than have it added automatically.
Extensive menu with options for everyone! The food good but not the best Chinese I’ve ever had, and certainly not authentic. Service was solid. The place was incredibly loud but you could still hold a conversation. It was fine but I probably wouldn’t return considering there are so many restaurants in the vicinity.
Delicious food! We ate the pork dumplings, green beans and Kung Pao firecracker chicken. Tea comes in an adorable tea kettle. The gentleman’s Sake is a must if you like Sake!
Fun spot to go with a group and sample all the fun food options on the menu. I loved the soup dumplings and the bao, oh and the green beans were great too! It can get a bit noisy, in case you’re looking for something quiet this is not your spot. Come here and get your hipster vibe on!
