Amazing meals. The service is always outstanding. Our Server was very sweet to our 7 year old son. The lamb skewers are phenomenal. The shrimp kimchi fried rice very good. The dumplings are something we get every time.

The food is incredible. Downside: very loud. If you dont mind some noise, its phenomenal and reasonably priced, everything is presented beautifully and tastes just as good.
