This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is exceptional. Each dish has an interesting little twist that sets it apart from traditional Asian cuisine. Not overwhelming, just an unexpected and delicious flavor or spice. The people there are fantastic. The ambiance is quaint but social and upbeat. Everybody I bring to this restaurant wants to come back.

You can still order teriyaki shrimp (taken off the menu) which was excellent. Mongolion beef was excellent. Red sangria always a favorite.
