   I wouldn’t really call this place a restaurant. It seems more a bar/lounge that serves food on the side and/or before the lounge opens. The food was either cold or steaming hot. I had to check that the chicken was cooked that’s how concerned we were. There was only one person working there - the bartender. We were there for almost an hour before our appetizers arrived and there were only 2 tables sat in the entire restaurant including ours. When the appetizers arrived, they were cold. Do not recommend at all. Plus the place smells strange.

   Had the best time with my girls, the service was amazing and we were well taken care of. The ambiance was a great vibe and I 10/10 recommend.

   Although the service was good, the food was just so-so. Very near the Balboa Theatre which was a plus.

   While our server and the ambience were great, the food wasn’t. Our appetizers were good but portions are small for the price. The entrees themselves were also small & very bland.

   We arrived at 8:30pm. we were seated upstairs at first and decided to sit at the bar because we realized we wouldn't get the service we were expecting. The Food.... The Food was not great. The orange chicken was slightly burnt, the wonton soup had no flavor at all, the rice was mushy, and the nice bartender forgot to add my order of garlic shrimp on the bill... Lol thank God.. and the drinks were too strong. Oh and 13$ for 4 crab rangoons or whatever you call them. I would definitely rather go to an authentic Chinese food restaurant.

   Went there for Valentine’s Day. Drinks — eh. Food was good. They didn’t have the staff to service everyone. Lots of waiting around.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had dinner at Year of the Fortune, and it was exactly what I was hoping for—great food, good drinks, and a fun vibe. We started with the Crispy Shrimp Bao, which had the perfect crunch and a super flavorful filling. I had the Silk Road—smooth, citrusy, and refreshing—while my friend went for the Breath of the Dragon Margarita, which had just the right amount of heat. For my main, I got the Sweet & Sour Wings—crispy, tangy, and perfectly sauced. My friend had the Orange Chicken, which was crispy, lightly sweet, and super satisfying. We ended with Mochi, which was soft, fresh, and the perfect light dessert. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.
