Food was superb!4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile the maitre d' couldWhile the maitre d' could have provided us with a warmer and more friendly welcome, our waiter was a delight with a gracious smile and spot-on service. The velvet chicken and corn soup was heavenly. The spareribs were cooked and seasoned perfectly and the spinach that accompanied the meal fresh and green, just the appropriate crunchiness. I loved the scallion pancake and even though I'd already eaten way too much (it was so good), I would have found room for more as they were so good. My dinner partner had beef with peapods and declared it fabulous.
Then why only 4 stars? I would have given five stars if the maitre d' had been pleasant.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMContinues to be great foodContinues to be great food but has gotten really expensive.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Chinese in the city.Food is always great.

Whenever we are in the city we always enjoy a fabulous dinner here. At our last visit we enjoyed Shun Lee Wonton soup for 2, followed by a shrimp and scallop special entree of the day along with and an old favorite egg foo yung. Our food was served hot and artfully presented. Service was attentive but not overly so.12/23/2012 12:00:00 AM
