The value and taste of the food were exceptional.I had beef spring rolls that would not hold together and I had to pour the sauce onto the filling because it was not possible to dip the rolls. However, the flavor of the garlic zucchini soup, spring rolls, and pina colada cheese cake was excellent. My server and expeditor were very nice, but the speed of the service was disappointing. It took approximately 10 minutes to get water after being seated and 10 additional minutes before meeting the server. I never received or was offered a water refill. I had to wait 10-15 minutes after asking for the bill. It took over an hour for a late lunch even though the restaurant was only about 25% full. There is definitely room for improvement in regards to timeliness.
