"As always, food was very good. I had the fried mushroom dumplings, and they were just OK. I had the cashew chicken dish and it was excellent. The portion size is enough that unless you are a rice fan, you don't even need it as part of your lunch - and you'll still have enough left over for the next day. Wait staff was knowledgeable and very courteous. Our glasses were always full - and we never felt rushed."

"The food was really good - we had an appetizer and a main course , The restaurant was very quiet as it is usually a lunch time business spot but deserves to do well in the evening due to its proximity to the Lyric."

"The dinner vibe here is much more quiet than lunch when the place is packed from start to finish. We were here about 5:30 on a Friday and the place was literally empty but for the happy hour folks in the bar. This was fine with us as service was fast and food came quickly. The specialty cocktail "the flirt" is great - champagne and pomegranate liquor. The sushi was very good and I love that you get to kind of "create" your meal around the flavor you feel like having, adding the meat in instead of starting with a set grouping of food."

"We've eaten there several time. We've always enjoyed the food and the service. They made substitutions that were required for health reasons. The only problem this time was they couldn't get the steak right for one person. It went back to the kitchen and still was not well done. Servers were eager to please."

"Green thai curry was good - pad woon sen was excellent. Was a little on the pricey side for what you got, and by 630 pm was very empty. Would probably go back again to try the sushi, maybe for a happy hour."
