Bland Over priced and Beautiful

My boyfriend and I recently had dinner on Sunday. Since I had heard good things about this place I was sure that having a nice low key dinner would be perfect. The decor is stunning the outdoor was spacious and the menu was luscious. …

Decor is spectacular, but....

My first visit there, all went well. I was more impressed with the decor than anything else though...but it was so nice that I didn't mind the so-so food. My 2nd visit was not so good: We went to the lounge area first. The waiter…

DON'T BE FOOLED

Capestrano from Citysearch03/17/2009 4:37 am

I think it's disgrace to charge $6 for a small lemonade and $6 for a coke. They fill your glass with half of a can (12 ounce) and ice and charge you full price for refills. You can't tell me that's right - more like under handed…

Nice Decor but Food is EH..

gripdxd from Citysearch01/29/2009 1:53 am

Large restarant, nice bar, modern decor and trendy. When we arrived it was empty, but quickly filled up (make sure you make reservation). They have special cocktails which I'm sure are great, but I didn't indulge. The food was okay and I…

big bombastic chinese food!

evillagefoodie from Citysearch12/18/2008 1:15 am

Big crowded place with a big menu but everything we ordered was really tasty and the staff once we were seated was attentive and gracious... but it took over an hour from our reservation to get seated at our table!

Love this place!

Don't miss the Bao for dessert...they are a mystery...a delicious mystery. Wonderful dumplings, great ribs but the roast pork is even better. Perfect Peking Duck.

Loved it. Top five meals!

mrsrussell from Citysearch09/11/2008 10:08 am

We sat down and we were served an amuse bouche (shrimp). Delicious! Then we had the potstickers and dumplings. Still great. I had the filet mignon with white asparagus. My friend had the cod. Dessert-Orange sorbet over a lemon tart with…

yummy yum dim sum

ninglin from Citysearch08/15/2008 12:59 pm

I went there on a tuesday night for a date. We ordered some dim sum, pao pao beef and general tso's. The food was pretty good, nothing to write home about, but better than good delivery. The service was excellent - they had us wait for…

Great dim sum

luvnyc401 from Citysearch04/09/2008 10:14 am

I've only been here once but the food was very good and I would like to return. I came on a date- it isn't the most romantic place, its much better for family or groups, however considering it was a first date I thought it was an…

Yum Yum Dim Sum

AndrewPelz from Citysearch04/06/2008 11:46 am

This restaurant is fantastic and fun. The dim sum menu is absolutely perfect. When it comes to the entrees, some dishes are better than others (i would stay away from the crispy chicken for example because it is somewhat bland),…

Well oiled machine

twinbeers from Citysearch02/02/2008 8:19 am

XXII century Chinatown exposed! Authentic multi-regional Chinese cuisine above Houston and flourishing! Well trained stuff never lets you get bored plus tasty food and cozy decor. It was Wed. and cool but closed downstairs lounge aside…

Misleading Reviews

zak_b1 from Citysearch01/12/2008 1:46 pm

The editorial review is way off, as are many of the user reviews. Page six crowd? This restaurant is a more expensive version of the PF Chang's in the Westchester Mall.

Awful Host

nn212 from Citysearch12/26/2007 8:27 am

My boyfriend and I were walking past here on a Saturday evening around 6pm and decided to walk in. At the door, I asked the host, very nicely, if they had a table for 2. He asked if we had a reservation, and I said no. He then rolls…

good lunch place

Anonymous from Insider Pages11/24/2007 9:56 am

good place to go if you work in the area and need to take someone to lunch. friendly staff. kind of pricy but good sized portions, but service could be quicker.

Rude staff, management that don't much care but great food!

janeneen from Citysearch11/02/2007 4:59 am

Such a shame about this place, the decor is beautiful, location great. It's spacious and clean and the food is exceptionally good. But the staff just ruin the whole experience! From the diva maitre d' to the snooty waitstaff. To the…

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!!!

aesop916 from Citysearch07/04/2007 12:52 pm

This has to be one of the most overrated restaurants in the city. My wife and I go to a lot of restaurants and this experience was almost horrible if not for the company of my wife. The so called wait staff was very rude and acted as if…
