    It was bad! What you can get in Chinatown for less and made better, was overpriced and made me sick. Service was mediocre and not anything special. The servers there are lazy and don’t deserve the tips.

    The food was great but everyone’s food was misplaced all over the table, 5 different food runners were just dropping food wherever they cook without checking to see who ordered it. People who had no been there before were not sure what the food was and if it was what they had ordered or not.
