First time visiting. Great service and atmosphere with very comfortable chairs! Dining room and table were very clean. We started with chili wontons and S&P asparagus - both very good. Stir Fry Udon and Szechuan Chicken were also very tasty. So much better than the Asian restaurants we typically find around here. Can't wait to go back and try a few more dishes.

Went on Valentine’s Day for dinner. As expected the place was super packed and really backed up which lead to some very upset customers. Throughout all that chaos the servers remained extremely friendly and hustled hard. Food was phenomenal and we greatly appreciated our experience.
