    Friday afternoon business lunch and it wasn't an encouraging start as the restaurant was almost empty with no life upon arrival. Our orders went in smoothly and the food came out in time. Everyone liked their meals as we all went with the lunch special - 3 items. There wasn't anything exceptional but the food was tasty, portion size was good and the server pleasant. Be aware that Open Table reservations may not work - I was told that the system didn't "talk" to the restaurant so I made a phone reservation as well. The review request came 3 days after dining later so I believe that there is a problem as this typically comes the next day. As a destination it appears to be a good place for a quiet lunch as the bustle that I've previously seen at PF Chang's seems to be missing here. It isn't real Chinese food but good for what it is and we were all satisfied.

    First time here. Service was good and attentive. Food was tasty. Soup dumplings on point. Pot stickers very good. Congee was good needed a little more flavor so the white pepper they brought was a good balance. Meat skewers a bit chewy/fatty. But will be coming back to try the shabu shabu which looked good.
