Twin Cities’ Restaurant and Bar Closures to Know, December 2025 | Eater Twin Cities

"Closing on Thursday, January 1, this Brooklyn Park restaurant means locals are losing a spot for shu mai, Beijing duck, and American Chinese favorites. It replaced Ann Ahmed’s Lemon Grass in 2023 and has a sister spot in Shoreview, Red Ginger." - Jeffy Mai

Arrived around noon to have lunch with my mom, 2 sisters, and nephew (toddler 3yrs old). My first time eating here. No one greeted us when we entered. Waited for about 5mins before someone came to seat us; we got to our table and 1 side was completely wet from the table behind us spilling their drinks before they were done dining. My sister had to use her own napkin to wipe both of the chairs before sitting. Waited another 5-10mins before getting our order taken, the waitress who came to take our order was very jolly, which was great. After getting our ordered taken, no one came to refill our water or asked how our food was. We ordered roast duck, 3 slice chow fun, shrimp fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, beef stew hotpot, pea tips, and pork belly. First dish that came out was the pork belly. It was one of the best pork belly I’ve tasted! The seasoning and the crunch! Deliciously! Shrimp fried rice had no seasoning. Beef stew hotpot: meat was extremely tender. Too sweet for my liking but my sister likes it. Everything else no complaint, however, all dishes that were served to us were cold except the beef stew hotpot.

House of Kirin is an awesome place if you’re craving real Cantonese-style seafood. The food was super fresh and full of flavor — everything we tried was delicious! The service was really friendly and welcoming too, which made the whole experience even better. When we went around 7:30, the place was packed (a good sign!). It’s definitely the kind of restaurant that’s best with a group so you can share and try lots of different dishes. They’re also running an October promo — spend $100, get $20 back — which makes it an even sweeter deal.

Ambiance: When you enter the restaurant, it welcomes you to a cozy feel. Music isn't loud and the tables are all very well organized and clean. Service: The service was excellent. We got seated almost immediately as we arrived here right as it opened. We were a party of 6 and seated at the circular tables. You will order via a paper menu & write the amount you want. Very straightforward and easy. The employees were very nice and very welcoming! They were great! Once it started getting busy, they were still attentive and refilling our waters. Food Quality: Be prepared to get stuffed because the amount of food you get is very generous. The dumplings are a good size depending on which dumplings and food orders you get. It is worth the price for a big group. All of the food dishes we ordered were very well made. The dumplings were delicious; the texture of each wrapping was soft and chewy. As you bit into the dumping, youre welcomed with wonderful sauces gushing into your mouth. If you love dumplings, this spot has amazing quality. The pork belly wasn't too bad but well made with crispy skin and the pork was just a bit over cooked. But eat it with a side of a dumpling to really formulate a wonderful meal. Cleanliness: The tables were clean! Circular Tables fit 10 people easily. Plates and utensils all set. The table wasn't sticky and there was enough room to walk through other tables if you need to use the bathroom. Overall Experience: Would highly recommend House of Kirin. Especially if you are looking for quality dumplings. This is an excellent spot for family dinners as the tables are accommodating for large groups as well. Bigger groups of over 8 people, would call ahead of time to make sure they have a table available. We would recommend this spot if you're not from Minnesota. A hidden gem? 🤔

sigh let me tell you this restaurant, foods quality was not fresh at all, especially the lobster seafoods rice noodles were definitely 100% worse i ordered, there was not enough lobster in this lobster seafoods rice noodles, i know it combined other seafoods, but most of them were fake crab meats, only 1 tiny size shrimp in each portion and compared to other restaurants dimsum, this one was by far the worst dimsum i ever had sigh, i asked the server n she said that it combined with other seafoods, but looked at pictures i uploaded, there's no sight of lobster meat in it, oh well, only 1 time deal haha, they loose customers here, i dont recommend people try this dimsum i ordered since they are not doing honors business sigh, we will not come back n dont recommend at all. also the salty fried quail was so tiny portion n it didn't seem 1 whole piece of quail to us sigh. also the beef balls were not fresh, the ribs with black bean paste was not enough black bean in it n the meat didn't steam right, it looked like uncooked sigh, also beef tripe were so chewy n not much taste too, so for $70 included $ 10 services fee, it was not worth at all. lesson learned in hard way. sigh. lol.

So so so yummy!! Restaurant is decently sized, cute, and fairly clean. My family and I always order dishes to share and the portions were perfect for doing so!! We got lobster (it so fresh), Szechuan chicken, and crispy pork belly. At the end of our meal, they gave us complimentary orange slices that were so light and refreshing. Will definitely be coming back in the future. :))

Served in family style dishes, our two person lunch had enough left overs to treat our family of 4 to this delicious oriental treat.

Excellent food!! Great service... Fresh and live Seafood A lot food for your money. One order you will have enough for two or more people. They also have live lobster and crabs.

Only been here during dim sum. Unfortunately they don't have dim sum carts but your order is placed on the menu sheet. We went a little overboard for 4 people... pork dumpling, chui chow style dumpling, steamed beef ball, bean curd pork wrap, fried shrimp ball, turnip cake, crispy egg tart, Macau egg tart, baked BBQ pork bun, pan fried veg & pork bun, shrimp funn roll, three slice chow fun, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and roast pork. Next visit I'd likely skip the turnip cake, it wasn't crispy at all. Instead mushy and very gluttonous.

I went here for dim sum with my sister..and i'm not I'm not saying it's nasty but it's not as tastey as the others. I thought it was too either too salty ir too bland. My favorite was the green beans!!! I think when I came for dinner it was a lot more tastier than dim sum. So i'm not knocking it, Dim sum is just their thing. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quick.

As a girly from California who's accustomed to authentic Cantonese style dim sum, I give this place two thumbs up considering Minnesota is not known for its dim sum. My lil bro and his wife generally goes to Yangtze and has taken me there before but I was not impressed. The menu is pretty extensive considering you can order dim sum plus the regular menu on weekends. I came on Saturday because I've been waiting all week to try the dim sum during my visit. Everything came piping hot and was fresh and the servers were all extremely nice. I wish I had more stomach because there were so many things in the menu I didn't get to try. My lil bro first griped that this place was too far, but after he ate, he changed his tune and said "okay" when asked to come back

We tried their dim sim, though not served out of carts, the taste is good. Surprisingly not too crowded on Sunday we early morning (more patrons came in at the tail end of our stay). We looked at their menu, a definite place to come again for their Peking Duck, lobster, sole and crab. A good option for Chinese meal when you are in Brooklyn Park area.

Our previous visits were a bit more successful. Today the food was not that amazing. Dim sums were good and fresh, but tofu dishes were bland. Tofu was wet and soggy even though it was meant to be crispy and nicely fried. I had to ask for salt because the food was missing flavor. But the worst part are the fish tanks with half dead fish and crabs that are floating upside down in the water. You can't focus on food because you keep looking at the misery of those poor creatures. Sad experience.

Went there on a Sunday afternoon for dim sum and this place was not crowded at all! It was nice having a lot of room for my party and not noisy at all. Service was just ok. You get a piece of paper to choose what you want and then it'll come out piping hot! Everything my table ordered was delicious except for the beef ball...it was on the tougher side, unlike what I'm used to. One major complaint I have is to be careful if you get seated at the round table all the way in the back next to the kitchen. There is just a cloth as a door so when the kitchen staff goes outside for a smoke break you can smell it at the table! Maybe they need to educate the staff to shut that door or go somewhere further for a smoke break? I had little kids with me so that was a big bummer to have to smell cigarette smell while trying to enjoy my meal.

Made an impromptu stop for dinner on random Monday night. Have been here before but was able to take advantage of their Lobster special for dine-in only. Mon-Fri. Spend $100 get one dish of lobster free. The limit goes up to $150 for Sat-Sun. The best part is they also have lobster menu price of 2 lobster for $55 which can go towards the $100 spend. After all our dishes, passed the $100 limit and ended up with 3 lobsters.

Expensive and slow , portions are small , spend over $170 and only 5 dishes , still waiting and waiting .. For this price I would have gone to a fancy restaurant , not recommend unless you have money to throw away

Great to have another Chinese place in the cities. It had HK Noodle x Mandarin Kitchen vibes. Menu covered all the yummy Cantonese favorites and more. Prices felt reasonable too - most were $12-20. Ordered - Lobster (4/5). There is a lobster deal going on - 2 for $40. Different ways to cook including salt & pepper and stir fry in black bean sauce - HK Steak (3.5/5). Not too bad, a bit sweet but reminded me of a similar meal when I was in Hong Kong - Half Roast Duck (4/5). Tasty and at one point, thought it was similar to House of Wu Duck. A bit cold though was our only feedback - Tofu Hotpot (3/5). A bit disappointing. Thought it would be served on sizzling hotpot but it was fully cooked already. The salted fish was very light so you wouldn't have noticed despite it being the main reason for going for this dish House of Kirin adds some competition to the Chinese food scene and it's worth trying if you're in the area.

Very friendly and helpful service. Not pushy at all when it was suggested we should go for the walleye promotion at dinner. Glad we did! We actually went for the Peking Duck 3 ways. 1st course was slices of duck breast with crispy skin. Serves with steam buns. Cilantro, cucumber sticks and a plum sauce came with. The second course was outrageously delicious. Soup from the Peking duck bones! Finally, minced Peking duck meat stir fried with other ingredients. Served with iceberg lettuce leaves to wrap. A great value, too. Delicious dim sum. That was lunch on a Saturday. Four days later, Peking duck 3 ways for dinner. Must order in advance even though I was told 2 different times it wasn't necessary. The kitchen was brought to a halt because of the work involved in preparing the Peking Duck 3 ways. Other diners had quite a wait for their dinners. I was told that night we could call in the same day to order. One more thing. Go for the dim sum for lunch. Well prepares, delicious and a great selection. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Good food but very slow. There was a big party with two larger tables but restaurant was otherwise slow. I had Singapore noodles and salt/pepper pork and both were very good.

Twenty years ago "Asian" meant Chinese, in terms of restaurants. The good news is that the Twin Cities have diversified and now include Hmong, Thai, Japanese, Malaysian, Korean, etc. The bad news is that it's hard to find a GOOD Chinese restaurant. My favorite Chinese restaurants (not including Dim Sum) have been Shuang Cheng in Dinkytown and Rainbow on Eat Street. However, finding a QUALITY restaurant in the suburbs has been a challenge. However, I just learned of House of Kirin, located near Highway 280 & 85th Ave in Brooklyn Park. One of my favorite dishes at Shuang Cheng is lobster with black bean sauce. However, the price of lobster there has risen to the point where I can't justify the price. Live lobster not available on many menus. House of Kiren has its own lobster and crab tanks (see photos) with a very large inventory of both. The night that I was there, the price of lobster was $38 per lobster ($70 for two) and $35 per crab ($65 for two). In addition, they had a special that if you spent over $100, you received a free lobster or crab. Although my check was under that, it would be pretty easy with a group of four or more to qualify for the free lobster (or crab). The first thing you notice at House of Kirin is that the ambiance is really nice. Let's face it; Chinese restaurants are often decor-challenged. Although this isn't nearly as important as the quality of food, it certainly sets the atmosphere and makes dining more pleasant. They get bonus points for a very tasteful decor. As others have noted, they have two menus. Unlike others, we were presented with both menus: traditional Chinese-American and more authentic Chinese dishes. I would recommend combining the two menus into one menu, with two sections. I think then it would feel less like a "White American" vs. "People of Asian descent." The second menu change I would make, is to put a description of the dishes. They have some photos, which help a lot, but only a few dishes have photos. For example, what is "Kiren House Special Stir Fry," "Hometown Style Stir Fry," "Overlord Ginger & Onion Chicken"? What is "Macau Style Roast Pork," or "Hong Kong Style Clam"? None of these have ANY description. In fact, NOTHING on either menu has a description, other than a category and the name of the dish. Some are generic, "Beef Steak with Asparagus" or mysterious like "Zhenjang Style Pork Chop." How are these prepared? What main ingredients do they use? What are the different styles? The American Chinese menu is the same way -- name of dish only, but at least I think most people know what Kung Pao Chicken is. Why we didn't ask for an explanation? Firstly, our waitress didn't really understand English very well, even when I asked how big were the lobsters (1.5 lbs), so I knew she wouldn't be able to explain the details I wanted. Secondly, and more importantly, there were many dishes that seemed interesting, but way too many to have to ask about each one. I actually took a take-out menu home and Googled many of the dishes, but I was still confused, or I failed to find the name on Google. I think there are many people like me who would be more adventurous, if they had an inkling as to what these dishes are. I don't want to be in General Tzo's Chicken or Orange Chicken hell when there is a whole world out there! OK, let's talk food. We started with the pork-filled dumplings. There were six to an order for $8.95. The dipping sauce was excellent and full of ginger and soy flavoring. The dumplings were well-filled, but I thought they were a bit doughy. It's kind of a quibble, but I would try something different next time. I had the lobster and it was excellent! Worthy even of Shuang Cheng, but at a better price (and easier to eat because the shell was thoroughly cracked open. There are several ways to order it (same price): Hong Kong style, Salt and Pepper, Ginger and Onion, Back Bean sauce, or Steamed. The Google difference between Hong Kong style and Ginger and Onion aren't clear to me. You can also get a "Golden Egg" for three dollars. Google says this is an egg scrambled in the shell and then hard boiled. The Black Bean sauced lobster was excellent. It was flavorful, and included red and green bell peppers and sliced onion, as well as a bowl of white rice. The sauce was great. Fortunately, they also bring lots of napkins. I would rate this dish a 5/5. My wife had the Chicken Pad Thai, which is (surprisingly) listed under House Specialties. She ordered it mild. She said it was good, but bland. In her defense, a dish ordered mild, should still be flavorful. I asked for tea and got a huge pot, which I appreciate. We were not changed for it. I'm not sure if this is standard. Also, they gave us a free dish of sliced oranges after the meal, which was a nice touch. I would like to sample many more dishes here and see if this restaurant is as good as it seemed from my first visit.

Went for the weekend dim sum. Overall everything was fine, nothing memorable but also nothing was bad. Shrimp dumplings had nice big chunks of shrimp. Pork shumai was a bit salty. Overall I give the food a solid 4. The only reason that we won't be returning is that the dim sum prices are on the higher end. Most items averaged $8-10. They also charged us for hot tea and an automatic 18% service charge. We went at 11:30 on a Saturday and tables were available. It wasn't empty and there were 2 large parties there. Service was nice and friendly.

This should probably be a 4.5 . We have had carryout twice now, no errors and everything tasting fresh. Our orders were also ready on time despite seeming fairly busy on Friday nights. My kid stuck with his usual American style favs, but I ventured into the real Chinese menu on our second order. I still don't know exactly what was in Hometown Stir Fry, so I agree with the other reviewer who recommended photos or ingredient listings. It was very good though, with the asparagus perfectly tender crisp. The only item I've had that I would not order again is the hot and sour soup, too bland for my taste. We have not eaten in yet, but it looks spacious and clean with relaxing lighting,

Stopped in for dinner - we didn't make reservations as it was last minute and they were able to accommodate us as a fairly large group. We've been here a couple of times now and are already planning our next visit. Sometimes you just aren't in the mood to drive to Minneapolis or Saint Paul to other spots that are good as well :) They had their promo going which was spend $100 - receive a crab or lobster. Ambiance is nice and space is clean . If you've been here prior when kr was Lemon Grass, it is almost identical to how it was previously with the exception of a tank for fresh seafood and some larger round tables against the wall in the far back area. Okay so let's get to the food and service. Food was great and service was even better! To name a few of our dishes: - Fried sole and we requested to have the meat sauce on the side (best for leftovers!) - Garlic green beans - so simple and always hits the spot - Clams in black bean sauce - Beef Chow Fun - Lobster in black bean sauce - Honey Walnut Shrimp We ordered a variety of dishes and really enjoyed it all. Food came out in a fairly quick as well which is a plus as they had a few small tables and a couple of large tables to tend to at the time. The servers are all so attentive and kind. Even with the amount of tables they had, we did not once feel like they were not attentive. You're a gem, House of Kirin.

We went on a Sunday evening, it wasn't too busy. Where we were seated was kind of too close to the other table for my comfort. My chair was literally back to back with the other customers chair. The location is where the old Lemon Grass used to be, so plenty of parking. Inside was neat and clean. We ordered salt and pepper squid, it was a little bland for me. The green beans were amazing, you can't go wrong with green beans. We also ordered the sizzling beef and beef chow fun, both tasty and flavorful. The staff doesn't check on you much and we had to waive them down whenever we needed something. Overall the food was good, the service was decent, the location is convenient so I would return.

Favorite Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn Park! Great place to come with family - service is very quick and everyone is so friendly. Clean and comfortable space. We came with two large groups and it felt like we ordered almost everything on their menu (salted fish fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, crispy pork belly, duck, fried tofu, crab, bunch more I can't remember...) and everything was amazing. Highly recommend - will definitely be back.

This restaurant is in the old Lemon Grass space next to the Golden Lion oriental grocery in Brooklyn Park. Menus are interesting: There is an "American" menu listing dishes that are pretty standard in US Chinese restaurants. Then there is a "Chinese" menu that has the interesting stuff and lots of it. Saturday and Sunday they also serve a Dim Sum not with carts but with a sort of checkoff menu where you mark your selections and give to the server. I like carts because you can get a look at the item instead of just seeing a microscopic picture. But that's not a big deal. Servce was OK, not particularly attentive. So how's the food? Excellent. Go there. Have a look in the grocery store, too, if you have not been there before.

The fried rice was pretty good - but 99% sure their orange chicken is exactly the same as the target brand. Heavy on the orange flavor. Artificial orange too. Maybe other stuff is good, but we ordered 5 things and the chicken fried rice was the only thing worth ordering again.

Nancy N.

Yelp
I'm not sure what their food and service is like but I can tell you the back of their restaurant is messy, dirty, full of knocked over garbage cans, and junk laying around. The previous restaurant never had this issues for years. I'm reluctant to eat there because if there back porch of there restaurant is disgusting and poorly kept, what might their kitchen where they prepare food be like. It's disturbing to walk on the path behind the restaurant and notice the deterioration in how they keep their grounds. Clean up the garbage and I might try you again.

This rating us just for the dim sum. We went on Saturday and wow was the dim sum sub par. This is not good dim sum but for the area I guess it's passable. Most of the dishes we very meh.

Order from this place several time. Always take out. I call ahead and they tell me how long the wait is. They say 20min and I always add 10min on top of what they say. When I get there, I'm still waiting another 20min for the food. The place was not busy. Their entree dishes was much better than their dim sum. 0 star for the dim sum. Very bland. No flavor. Pork/shrimp dumpling (shu mai) was so bland and not appealing. They sprinkle fish egg on top. We also order the shrimp with the rice paper roll. Forgot what it's actually called. Very bland even with the dipping sauce. Would not recommend their dim sum menu.

TREMENDOUS place for dim sum. I went on a Saturday and tried several different offerings. Everything was very good.. the service was great.. the place was nice and clean and festive. I highly recommend this place for dim sum on Saturday and Sunday and they also have a varied menu the rest of the week. Excellent place to eat in Brooklyn Park Minnesota.

This location is the old lemongrass restaurant. Inside looks almost identical, except they don't have a sushi bar anymore. They've replaced it with live seafood tanks! We don't get to see that very often here in MN. My family and I were greeted right away and seated. There's lots of options to chose from and the menu is organized with pictures. We ordered five dishes, salt and pepper lobster, honey walnut shrimp, green beans, sizzling pepper steak and beef chow fun. The food came out quickly, when I say quickly... I mean like... 5 minutes. Holy moly I've never had service so quick! Salt and pepper lobster was delish. Honey walnut shrimp- the shrimp was HUGE and they were not skimpy with the portions. Green beans were cooked perfectly. Sizzling pepper steak- steak pieces were hearty. Beef chow fun- noodles were intact and not broken up, there was "wok flavor," and surprisingly, every bite had a piece of beef! This restaurant was a pleasant surprise, my family and I will definitely be coming back.

Amazingly delicious food! Note: they have 2-menus: an "Americanized" Chinese food menu and an authentic Chinese food menu. Be sure to take a look at them both before ordering.

I went with my spouse during dim sum hours on a weekend. The hostess at the door was nice, and the restaurant was clean. That's where the positives stop. All of the dim sum items we ordered were either severely undercooked/steamed or the dough for the wrappers/buns/turnip cake were just soggy and didn't hold their shape. Super gross. The server ladies didn't give us all of our orders and tried charging us for items we never received. The hostess had to step in and help us instead. The price is also ridiculous for the quality of the food. Why serve dim sum if you don't know how to make the dough for the wrappers, buns, and turnip cakes?

Overall, I think House of Kirin adds some much needed Cantonese style food to the area where this style of food was absent. The service was fast, friendly, and quick. Our waitress came to check on us once on how we are doing. I would give this a 4.5 star for service. The ambiance is clean, well designed, and quiet. It would be a good date place. The live seafood tank can be seen which is normal for Chinese seafood places. If this bothers you a lot, this might not be a date place. I give the ambiance a 4. The food is ok. Some reviewers said it was like Hong Kong Noodles and Mandarin. Some said it was the best in the twin cities. I would argue it is probably the best in Brooklyn Park but not the best in the twin cities by a long shot. I order some of my favorite dishes I would order at various Chinese restaurants in the TC to try and see how they reproduce it. Cantonese Beef Brisket Hotpot was too strong on star anise, they did not cook it long enough, and some of the meat was too hard (3 out of 5). Salt and pepper squid was undercooked, the batter mix was not very good and oily in my opinion. I would not order this dish again. 2 out of 5. The garlic fried sole filet was average and oily because of the batter mix. The fried garlic seasoning was bland. 3 out of 5. This place does elevate the BP Chinese food scene but the food I order is subpar to the staples in the TC. I might give this another try and order other dishes like beef chow fun, lobster, etc... when I am in the area.

Food was great, service was great. Everyone was very welcoming. I've been there 3 times so far and they're pretty consistent. Can't wait until they start their dim sum.

The food was 5 star*****. The service was **. vThe restaurant was clean. The rest room only had one for men and one for women. It should of have at least 4 bathroom for each side for restaurant. We went to the Dim Sum sat and sun. only. We went at 11:30 am. We were seated around 12:00 noon, We were thinking they would have the tradition carts with dim sum food on it. It was a menu that you check off what you wanted. We order 7 items. We got the 2 of them 10 min. wait, The next item came about 10 mins late so so forth. We were waiting on the last 2 items, We spoke to the waiter 2 times another waitress another time. She finally came back it will be another 10 mins do you still want it? We said no take it off the bill. The customer seated next to us said they gave her shrimp balls to 3 other customers. She had to have them take it off the bill. The staff was unstaffed They were making seat mistakes of seating a party near us. Host came and said this party was first and other party had to eat at the bar. They did not have enough staff was the problems which it cause other issues. I would try it again at dinner, midweek not so busy so we get decent service. I know the staff was working very hard.

Absolutely THE best Aisian food in the twin Cities. So fresh, so authentic, so very good and on top of that, great service!!

My wife and I have had their Peking Duck twice now and thoroughly enjoy it both times! Three courses of duck...all delicious...and a huge amount of food. The second time, we took advantage of the spend $100 and get a free lobster. We ordered the "wet lobster" with ginger sauce and love it. Nice space, great food, attentive and friendly service. We both agreed that this was probably the best meal we've had at a Chinese restaurant in Minnesota and will definitely be going back.

Great foods and service! Love the crabs! Both Hong Kong style and salted egg yolks were delicious. The veggie dishes were great as well. All the dishes were very flavorful, not overly salty.

If you like cantonese style food this is a great place to go. It is pricy because the serving sizes are family style and plates are meant to be shared, so don't be afraid of the prices when you see it, it is priced correctly. I've had both the dim sum and the regular menu. I'm not a big fan of dim sum so I can't give an honest review on that. Both times I've been here though, the food from the regular menu has been delicious and came out promptly, so I'm leaving a review to help out this place. They don't seem to have very many customers unfortunately and I don't want it to close because I would like to return to eat here again in the future. The place is nice and clean. The service is the only poor thing I can say about this place, it's not exactly bad, it's just that they don't tend to their diners very often and you have to flag the waiters down. Very typical Asian restaurant service you'd expect though, maybe that's why the food is so good haha. Overall, food and atmosphere is great, 5 stars, service needs improvement though, hence the 4 star rating I'm giving.

The dimsum was terrible. My friend and I came at 1pm. There were 6 other groups in the restaurant. We ordered 8 items. The price was listed on top of the menu but you have to pay attention to see it. the foods were below average ( in my own opinion). There was only one time that the server came out to give us water and hot tea. No refill on either. They all sat at the entrance to the kitchen ok their phones. We got charged 18% for gratitude for a party of 2. Their special dishes were $16 each. One of them, roast duck, with 6 small pieces. Duck was soggy and cut into small pieces. I could have gotten a full duck somewhere else for $32. Not recommended.

My husband & I enjoyed New Years dinner here. The staff were great, very attentive & the food was excellent. We prefer the authentic Chinese menu but Im sure the American Chinese dishes are equally good. We tried the salt & pepper Calamari as an appetizer - it was good but not something I would order again. I had the tofu seafood hotpot & my husband had the Stir fry Pork Intestines with Sour Vegetables. Both entrees were quite large & we had lunch the next day with leftovers!

Ordered food to take away a couple of times and food had good flavor to it. The spice level was closer to bland for my taste (and that's on me for not asking for higher spice, I wanted to check before I increase the spice level). So please ask for higher spice level if you prefer that. Looking forward try more items on their menu soon.

I should have known the place was so good when walking to pick up my order and there were no customers, the prices are ridiculously high. The food is not top quality food for the prices. Please don't waste your time or money going to this place..
