   Had an awesome time. The fried rice was probably the best I’ve had. It’s a really fun spot if you’re looking for good vibes, good food, and a little bit of a show. Definitely coming back!

   Food was somewhat salty. I requested for low sodium but I think she gave me regular soy which gave me a head after dining in. A little better than my previous visits.

   Servers were very attentive, efficient and had great customer service skills. Our chef made our experience feel unique. We had such a great time watching the show and the food was cooked to our liking. The meat and rice were absolutely my favorite! My daughter enjoyed spending her birthday there and now my husband and have planned to come back for a date night in the near future.

   Service was great which is an improvement from last time. Our cook was very nice but he cooked a little differently than others. He used oil on most preparations instead of butter and the food ended up quite oily in the end. It was tasty but heavier than usual
