Everything was great! Our teens loved it too. Dan Dan Slap Noodles were the highlight. Prob would have skipped the scallion pancake, that was the only thing that we weren’t raving about, just wasn’t what I wanted it to be—was more like a quesadilla in texture. The egg on the duck fried rice was so good we ordered a second one because all wanted another bite!

The food was average. Actually, the honey crispy chicken was overcooked. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. Noise and ambiance was good.
