Imperial Treasure Review - Singapore - The Infatuation

"The Paragon is an upscale mall filled with the type of stores that sell $100 socks, but our favorite way to spend money in the building is at Imperial Treasure. You’ll find some of the best peking duck in the city at this white tablecloth, banquet-style Chinese restaurant. Dinner here feels like an event every night of the week and it’s not uncommon to see a head of state eating next to a family celebrating grandpa visiting from out of town. Whichever side of that spectrum your group falls in, make sure you order the signature duck and Imperial Treasure’s lesser-known (but just as delicious) crispy duck stuffed with glutinous rice ahead of time." - Anthony Eu

Good atmosphere and decor. You can tell owner has a vision trying to make change to the common perception of traditional Chinese dining and taking it to a more modern setting. The dim-sum part was good, no complaints. However, one of the dishes we ordered that was braised bean curd and beef brisket tasted nothing like beef brisket and more like pork and frankly, it tasted stale. The waiter had a good attitude. Overall good experience. Heard the duck is a good dish to order so we may come back.

We've been holding off on going here due to mix reviews and the distance from our home. However a couple of weeks ago we were in the area and decided to finally give it a try for lunch. We got seated quickly and received great service from our waiter. I was surprised at their limited dim sum menu selection. All the food we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. We will definitely go there again when we're in the are and looking for an option to eat.

This place was a very pleasant surprise The outside of the restaurant makes you think it's old time, cheap but once you go in it looks so clean and modern. Decorations are really nice Service was great and we got so many different dumplings and stuff. The sake options were very good. The fried taro sugar coated dessert is GIANT. Beware! Would definitely go back again!

The food here was absolutely phenomenal! We were craving good Chinese food last night and decided to dine in. We started with three appetizers—lamb skewers, fried pork bao buns, and fried beef dumplings—all of which were delicious. Then came the entrees: mapo tofu, chicken rice noodles, salt and pepper fish, orange chicken, and pork belly. Every dish was packed with flavor, making this one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The menu itself was impressive, with almost every dish featuring a picture and an abundance of options to choose from. Even the smallest details, from the branded cups and plates to the chopsticks, were beautifully intentional. Everything was wonderfully prepared, and my family and I will definitely be back to try more!

I am agitated to say the least. The food was okay at best, the general chicken was the best thing l ordered. Unfortunately, the soup dumplings definitely need more flavor, and the waitress never came to check on my table even though the place wasn't packed. Thank god they give you a water pitcher because I would've never gotten a drink refill. The waitress also asked if we wanted forks, which is fine, but after we told her no and started using the chopsticks she came back with forks anyways, which I personally thought was disrespectful. My husband and I know how to use chopsticks, and even if we didn't what's wrong with trying to get better! P.S. For the rainbow dumplings, do not eat the veggie one. Presentation for all the food was good! But overall, I would never come back. If you're searching for good soup dumplings this is not the place.

My cousin and I were ISO good Chinese food in Matthews, NC and decided on The Imperial based on the 4.7 Google review. We quickly learned that it more than a 5! The menu has many authentic selections and they seem to be known for their DimSum. We ordered too many items and everything was delicious and plentiful. In addition the owner and our waitress, Ana were super nice and professional. I live in MD but will make it a point to est here when I’m in Matthews. I highly recommend you try it too! **They also have a Ballantyne location.

Great experience🥰 everything we had was delicious. Favorites were the sweet and sour chicken and the dumplings. You must end your dinner with the golden lava buns, they are so good! Only complaint is the rainbow dumplings didn’t match up with the key on the menu, which I feel is problematic😅 I don’t eat seafood so I had to have others try them all first to make sure I didn’t get the shrimp one. Our server liv was very nice and helpful 😊 will be back soon!

Tuesday night so the drink special was Buy One Get One Beers so I had two Modelo’s for $6. We had the Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Dumplings and the Pork Soup Dumplings for an appetizer. Both were very good. We then split the Beef with Cumin and the Sizzling House Lo Mein. The Beef with Cumin was the best, a little spicy but so much flavor. The Lo Mein was good and a very large portion. In Matthews this is the best Chinese food.

This place is awesome!!! Our service was outstanding and the food was delicious! We had spring rolls, soup dumplings, fried pork and cabbage dumplings. We also had the sesame chicken! Yum!!! Our server, Taylor, was very attentive and helped us figure out what we should order!! I would say that Taylor, made our experience perfect!

First time ordering from Imperial Treasure. i was pretty excited but it was squashed when i got my order. 3 Items we had General Soos Chicken -- Very good Lots of meat ! Pork Fries Rice - Flavorless - and old rice -couldn't find the Pork Beef and Scallions - Some of the meat was too chewy and some was just okay - very stewed and not much flavor ! No extra sauces or white rice entrees were over 20.00 a piece Very disappointed!

The quality has declined. If someone is hungry, yes, they taste good. But very upset that most of the food that I normally like to order were not even meet the normal standard. Yet, we leave enough tips to the server Who's not the cook.

The ambience is very nice and elegant decor. The waitress was efficient and extremely helpful. I loved the menu w pictures and the food was delicious very well made handmade dumplings. Prices for lunch are very affordable and great quality and price. I pass by often and never entered. Happily surprised. Will be returning.

We came in from Raleigh to meet my family here that lives in Charlotte. The green beans were fire! The fish dish was spicy, yet delicious. Most of the dishes that we had were excellent, but our favorite hands-down was the shredded pork and garlic sauce. Lick the plate clean!

Back for a repeat visit. Me and my two Sons, Ben & James were joined by Isla for an early Dim Sum lunch on a Saturday around 11a. Our waiter, Taylor did an excellent job explaining some of the Dim Sum options. We went with some of our previous favorites, the Shrimp Shiu Mi, the Har How and Char Siu Bao. This time the Jasmine tea was fresh and hot. Unfortunately no sugar free sweetness for the tea, only rock sugar which wasn't really that sweet anyway. They now have Diet Coke!

Excited to have a restaurant here in CLT that offers dim sum. To preface, heard from family and friends that the service was not up to par when they recently came to try them out but this time around everything came out fast and efficient. Our server Taylor was great and made our experience better. When I say, everything we tried was delicious... I liked everything that came out. The king shrimp shumai is definitely a favorite of mine. We ordered spicy dumplings, soup dumplings, chicken feet, spare ribs, and a full order of the roasted duck. The duck entree came with another dish that was highly recommended, as well as some scallion pancake 'wraps'. These can be eaten and wrapped with the duck. It comes with a side of julienne cut cucumbers and green onions (scallions). As well as sauce (hoisin). This was actually quite tasty with the duck, even though I've never ate with it before. To end dinner, we tried the chocolate dumpling dessert which oozed of rich, decadent chocolate.

The Imperial Treasure is a great Dim Sum spot! On my first visit, the table tried the salt and pepper tofu, spicy wontons, and pork soup dumplings. The tofu was delicious, light, and paired well with a little of the table soy sauce and chili oil. The spicy wontons had great flavor and texture, but the pork soup dumplings were perfect. Great texture and ratio of meat to broth plus the dipping sauce was a great addition. I will come back for those alone. Not pictured was the vegetable lo mein - tasty but nothing special.

This restaurant has a lot of promises and hopes for the Authentic Chinese Food scene in Charlotte. When it was open, it had mixed reviews. A lot of the bad reviews are usually, they went out of items or waiting for too long. Well guys it is opening time, they are not going to be perfect. This review is mix of three times that I went. First this place is pretty, the decor is awesome. They have some round tables for big families and looks like private room for party. It has a very welcoming feel. Also they have great choice on their dishes, plates, and cups. It looks great and made with plastic that it is easy to pick up to share food. Then the services also amazing, the last three times that I was there, the service was excellent, the staff cares about their job and talks to everyone very nicely. I also like that they have iPad to put in the order, makes it fast and simple. The food also tastes excellent. I enjoyed their Soup dumplings and mostly their Dim Sum dishes. One of the times that I went here was during the Christmas holiday, they were really busy, I can tell that the restaurant didn't have enough time to marinate the meat, if it was marinated longer it would has better taste. Lastly I made reservations for this place two times, both times it was on point and the front desk staff took great care of us. Overall great experience, I think it has room for improvement for better taste. Looking forward to come back again

I am so happy to be able to update this review to a 5 stars. We went back Saturday afternoon so I could try Pork Congee with Century egg that I could t order last time. We ordered house special fried rice, fried green beans, pork char sieu steam buns, pork soup dumplings, and shrimp Hargow. All were delicious. The best improvement was service. Tom, our server was attentive and friendly. Our foods came out promptly and I'm looking forward to adding this restaurant to our regular night out rotation for Matthews.

Yum!! A delicious dim sum in Charlotte? I've been waiting for years. We came in and there were about 6 parties ahead of us. We did ask to sit at the bar and we got seated soon after! It's not the cart style dim sum that I've been used to growing up in Vegas, but you order from the menu and they make it all to order. The place is so clean and smells great. Bathroom is also clean! The food was all delicious! It took a bit to come out, but if they're making them all fresh, I'm okay with this! We got the green beans, pork steamed buns, pork soup dumpling, shrimp shu mai, shrimp rice long noodle (I can't remember the name!), beef in black bean, and sesame balls. 7 dishes for less than $80! Everything was delicious. Stand outs were the green beans, soup dumplings, and the sesame balls. When I ordered the sesame balls, our server said "these are my favorite too!" They were HOT and soooo flavorful. I can't wait to come back

Today was my first time coming here and it is still their soft opening period. They do not have the dim sum carts yet but will have them once they officially open. The place was open, very nicely lit, clean, and had a good amount of seating options. For a party of 2 we ordered many of the quintessential tapas. Everything was made fresh and was hot off the stove. I really enjoyed the seasoning of the foods and their own spins on classics. We especially loved the lava bao bun! The service was great and the food came out as it was cooked. We even got a treat on the house which was lovely. It's a little pricy, but it's a pretty good dim sum option for the area! I can see my family enjoying this place in the future.

Super excited that a new dimsum restaurant is opening up in Matthews! Since we came on their grand opening weekend, they're still trying to figure out their flow, so expect slow service. When coming in, make sure to scan the QR code at the hostess counter to get put on the waitlist. We started off with the hot tea and it took forever for them to get hot water and even when it did come out, it was lukewarm but the second pot was hot. Overall, taste for all food dishes was delicious! I loved the chili oil, which was also spicy and flavorful. I will return when they get all situated and they bring out the carts, which they said will be in two weeks. As of right now, they're only doing ordering service. Interior was clean and decorated well. Would recommend if you're looking to try dimsum or other Chinese dishes, just be mindful that they have slow service right now.

Must Go! Be prepared to wait but just know it is absolutely worth it! Best Chinese in Charlotte, hands down. I cannot wait to go back and order new items! Between two of us, we ordered so much food (felt like half the menu) and the price was extremely reasonable! The restaurant itself is cute and has an area where dumplings are hand made and our table was in a little nook. The bathroom needs some work. Tom the server also deserves a shout out! Just go. Go next door and grab a drink while you wait (no alcohol in restaurant)!

SOOOOO GOOD! Another Asian restaurant that is spot on in the CLT area. Dang that dim sum was out of this world!!! The beef chow fun came recommended, and it was delish. The shrimp with vegetables and chicken fried rice were also great dishes to share. I of course loved the spicy sauces available at the table and didn't have to ask for anything extra. I would most likely come back for that dim sum and hot jasmine tea. Lots of space inside and nicely decorated.

Food was good and for Charlotte, its good enough and wouldve given it a 4 if I was only comparing it to location in the state only. I rate it 3.5 stars as I have had amazing dumplings and dim sim before specifically California so in a way its hard to beat that. This place has tons of options to choose from. The prices are reasonable as well. Service was good and the restaurant does have a semi fanciness to it. Overall I would recommend this every once in awhile. The drive is too far for me so I prob wont go back unless Im passing by and craving dim sum.

I need to go back again asap. I just got a general Tso's lunch special, and it wasn't anything amazing, but I have high hopes for their dim sum and more traditional dishes. I looked at a lot of the reviews and it seems like they have quite a few fans that set up accounts just to give this place a really good review... Hmmmm...? I was thoroughly impressed with the decor as soon as I walked through the door. A whole area dedicated to in house handmade pastries!? Yes please! As per service, there was nobody up front when I walked in, so I wasn't quite sure how to pickup my food. I had to use the rest room anyhow, so I did that and when I got back there was a man there. He was on the phone, but he still helped me out promptly. As per the food... It wasn't as good as I was hoping for. I wanted this to be tied with the only 2 other good Chinese places in town (Cherry Blossom/taste of Shu and Lam's Kitchen). I blame me for what I ordered though, not them. I need to go back and I need to do it soon. I want pork soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, beef short ribs, Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce, beef with jalapeno, braised pork belly in a clay pot, lamb with cumin, all the fish dishes, XO sauce chow fun, and some duck. If anybody wants to go in and order everything family style pm me! Let me know! If it doesn't tickle my pickle let me find out now so I can go back to my other go to's!

It has been a while since Charlotte has seen a full service dim sum restaurant, so I was excited to check this place out. The Imperial Treasure opened up a few months ago and offers dim sum and other Chinese food. There is a really modern and clean ambiance inside of the restaurant. I also really like the wall art and decor. There is an area near the front of the restaurant where you can watch some staff make pastries in real time through a glass window, which is pretty cool. It can get busy during typical popular dim sum hours, so just be mindful when you come here with a large party. My server was also really friendly and nice! There are so many options to choose from on their menu. They have dim sum and regular Chinese food. My friends and I ordered a lot! Mostly from the dim sum menu as that was what we wanted. The food arrived in staggered times as expected, but it did not take as long as I thought it would with the amount that we ordered. We got the Crab & Pork Soup Dumpling, Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce, Dry Sautéed Green Bean, Scallion Pancake, Beef Chow Fun, Hong Kong Egg Tart, Rainbow Boiled Dumpling, Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumpling, Honey Glazed Char Siu, and Black Golden Lava Custard Bun. I will say that I did not see a dim sum cart when we went (around lunch time on a Sunday). The Dry Sautéed Green Bean could have been cooked a bit longer as I thought that most of the green beans were still a bit too firm and I prefer Chinese style green beans to be cooked more thoroughly so that it looks almost shriveled, haha. I think that the green beans could have had more sauce on them as the sauce was mostly at the bottom, but overall, that dish was not bad. I love chicken feet, but I did not think that their Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce were marinated in the black bean sauce long enough. The Scallion Pancake was different than the ones that are usually at Chinese restaurants. These pancakes were thicker and fluffier, unlike the usual thin size of scallion panes. It also tasted a bit undercooked inside and I think there should have been more scallions, but I was able to eat it. I liked their Beef Chow Fun; however, it was not seasoned enough for me so I had to add soy sauce and chili oil to the dish to make it taste better. I thought that their Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumpling was fine, as well as their Hong Kong Egg Tart, although the egg custard itself was more flan-like than I expected. My friends ate the dumplings, which they thought needed more flavor, specifically in the Rainbow Boiled Dumpling. They also liked the Honey Glazed Char Siu, but noted that it tasted a bit greasy. I would say that the best dish for my friends and I was the Black Golden Lava Custard Bun. Not only was this an aesthetic dessert, but the custard inside was salty, sweet, and runny (hence the word "lava" in the name of the fish) and the bun itself was soft. It was perfect to eat and definitely the highlight of my visit here. Obviously, people have different preferences for how they prefer their food to taste and I can see that a lot of people like this place so far, so please take my review with a grain of salt. In reality, I would give this place a 3.5/5. I would say that the dishes here were just fine enough, but there could be more seasoning and flavor to better the food. I think that this place can definitely improve in the future! Also, another option for dim sum that is not necessarily close but definitely a feasible drive from Charlotte is going to Atlanta. There are a lot of dim sum restaurants there that I prefer more.

If I could give less than a one star I would. After purchasing multiple dim sum items and ONE entree to share with my partner for take out, they handed me the bag and said good night. Great! Well I've learned to double check items when getting take out especially places that are 20 min away. Turns out they only had dim sum items and no entree. When I came back inside to ask, they said oh whoops sorry and started getting cash from the register. Why would you not call the customer (who provided multiple forms of contact info in the restauran's own online ordering system)? The hostess told me she didn't have my phone number... even though it's printed literally on the taped receipt on the bag. When I asked if there was any comparable dish available I was told no. However when asked directly if the beef version was possible (I ordered pork) they said yes but that I would be required to pay the $2 difference in price from the pork version I ordered 45 minutes before. Now I get to sit here and wait another 25 minutes while the rest of my food gets cold. Candidly I hope this food is amazing, but man the service was BAD. We're new to area and have been looking for a good dim sum place that we can make a regular spot. This place had great reviews and we had high hopes. All I can say is make sure to check all your items before leaving the restaurant when ordering takeout!

Amazing! Food is so good. The real deal, a wide variety of choices, including dim sum. Charlotte needed a quality Chinese restaurant. The place is large, clean and tables are not too close together. Ambiance is neutral, not high end, trendy or super cosy, nor is it fast food or low end. You can take your family there or a date. Service was great each time we went.

So, a couple of weeks back I tried coming here on a Sunday around lunch time and of course there was a wait. They told us 40 minutes or so and we were about 20th in line. I wish there was a way to check in before you got to the place. But instead you can only get on the waitlist when you get there. They need a better system for busier time. The inside is beautiful. Love the koi dishes on the ceiling. The table decoration and bright lighting is also awesome. So pretty. I like the area where you can see the workers making the dumplings in the front. The food was decent. My most favorite was probably the chicken feet. Shumai was too big, I like it better when the shrimp are smaller pieces. The congee want the best, it needed salt and pepper and it was bland. The veggies with tofu was good, flavorful. Portion was decent too. Parking , they share parking with other businesses. can be hard to find if it's busy time. The stuff are nice and informative. Nothing else to complain. Could say the price is a little overpriced for the quality. But excited to give it another try.

Really enjoyed the beef rice noodle rolls. The generous portions were appreciated by my hungry companion. Service was prompt and attentive, no complaints. Love how clean the restaurant was but the decor leaves something to be desired. Overly bright fluorescent lights blinded me during the entire meal. Wasn't relaxing after a day of staring at the computer.

White lights at night are too harsh which makes it unenjoyable. Maybe it works during the daytime but not at night especially for customers wearing eyeglasses. The kitchen was so slow that we cancelled the last dish. The main dish we ordered was fried diced chicken n it was just fried breadedness which I couldn't even distinguish any chicken in it. Luckily we ordered dry sautéed green beans which at least filled me with the white rice u hv to pay for. Don't think we'll be coming back.

We went during soft opening week on a Friday, you scan the QR code at the desk to get on the wait list. The wait was about 30 minutes at around 2pm on a Friday. So they're pretty busy. Food was great!! The menu is extensive so there's lots to choose from. We ordered the soft opening lobster special, thousand layer beef batty, beef chow fun, and the sweet and sour shrimp. The chow fun has that wok hay taste which I like but can use a little more soy sauce and sweetness. Lobster was live and fresh but they didn't have any noodles that day but the dish was supposed to come with noodles. The beef pancake was crispy and good. The sweet and sour shrimp are good too but didn't come with rice. Overall, we would definitely come back again. The only negative is it's a little pricey! Highly recommended the soup dumplings!! So good!!

For only being open two weeks kudos to Imperial for having a line nearly out the door. No wonder why, because the food was delicious. Reminded me of any top notch spot in Chinatown in NYC between flavors and quality. Regrettably only took one picture because I was too busy diving into the soup dumplings and spicy wontons. Beef chow fun was great as was the crab Rangoon. While I wish the skin on the duck was crispier the meat was tender and delicious. You can tell they designed this place very meticulously and beautifully. Very authentic and traditional

What a delight! This new dim sum place is in a word delicious. The interior is cool and hip. We arrived early before the lunch rush and we're happy that we did. The food options are tremendous, the service was very good and the food was hot, fresh and made to order. We asked the manager about food carts which I have seen at other dim sum restaurants but they probably will not have them there as they are very concerned about the quality of their food and don't want something to sit for too long and not be as good as it should be. I respect that. We had five different types of dim sum and all were pretty tasty. The soup dumplings were awesome as was the beef pancake which was crispy and filled with beefy goodness.

Darren B.

Yelp
Fantastic experience. The dim sum was excellent, noodle and rice dishes were some of the best I've ever had (it's worth coming back for the beef chow fun alone). Buns were also on point. Ying was a great server & took the time to walk us through the menu & made great recommendations. Will definitely be back soon!

The new Ballantyne location is under staffed and totally a hot mess. They have one person taking care of the the people coming into sit down, giving bills and cashing people out in the resturant and taking care of the pick up orders. I went to get my pick up order - 4 groups in front of me wanting to eat in (that was a mob and all messed up), 3 of us waiting for pickup and a bar full of pick ups sitting there. After 15 minutes finally gave the guy my ticket that was sitting on the bar but none of the bags matched and then he told me they were out of the rib dish and to pick something else out - when I asked how long that would take he said "a long time" obviously he didn't want to have to remake my whole order while they had people in the dining room. Maybe best to avoid this place on the weekends.

The food is good. I get the beef with jalapeño. There is always an option to order a side of white rice when getting it to go/delivered. I click the button to include it every time, and 75% of the time they always forget it! Like just check the order before tying up the bag.

I had the pleasure of attending their soft opening for dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We had pre-ordered the Peking duck, which was carved tableside with finesse. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the duck itself was bursting with flavor. An added bonus was the winter melon soup they made using the duck bones after carving, a delicious and comforting complement to the meal. In addition to the duck, we also sampled a variety of other dishes: Cumin Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Lobster Noodles, Snow Pea Leaves with Garlic, and Pan-Fried Dumplings. Every dish tasted authentic, and I appreciated the traditional approach of bringing out each dish as it was ready, rather than all at once, just as you'd expect from a genuine Chinese restaurant. The service, while a bit slow, was understandable given it was their first day, but the food was worth the wait. I'm excited to return soon to explore their dim sum menu, which is served until 4 p.m. Overall, a fantastic first impression, please go and support these authentic restaurants that are popping up in Charlotte so that we continue to get more.

We arrived before noon on a Saturday and there was no wait and parking was a breeze. A decent dim sum restaurant. Some dim sum plates were not what we expected. Pictures can be deceiving. The taro "pancake" was unusual and not what we expected. Average dim sum plate=$7.95. Good customer service and friendly staff.

What a hidden "Treasure" this was! Authentic cuisine with a very customer friendly menu. Friendly staff and very clean/unique setting. My favorite dish was the Garlic Pork. It was fantastic.

Born and raised in the SF Bay Area - the heart of dim sum - I was a bit skeptical about this place, but, my boyfriend raved about it so I went in with an open mind! First off, I LOVE the decor, place settings and how spacious everything is. Pretty opposite of what I'm used to when eating dim sum in SF. Dim sum is offered all day - a PLUS - but also a long list of other Chinese dishes. On my first visit, I had my boyfriend try a few dishes I would eat at home - haw gau, egg tarts, steamed pork buns, beef crepe, beef chow fun, pork XLB (xiao long bao) - just to name a few. He was a fan except for the beef crepe and egg tarts. Needless to say, while I visited NC in November, we went back another time and now that I'm back for a surprise visit, we have already gone twice. Love our servers Carli and Mimi. They can get busy, we went again on New Year's Day, but food was still EXCELLENT!! In any case, this is a pretty good place to eat if you want to try dim sum or have a hankering for good Chinese food .

We finally had the opportunity to stop into this new Dim Sum restaurant over the weekend! Very impressed with the service. Staff was welcoming and open to answering questions. The menu was extensive. The dining room was clean, organized and spacious. The food we got was phenomenal. The best Kung Pao chicken I've ever had!

Thank you for the delightful dining experience! The restaurant is exceptionally clean, and the lighting is lovely. The decor and ambiance harmonize beautifully. The menu boasts an impressive variety, and the food was divine--every dish was fresh, flavorful, aesthetically pleasing, and served promptly. We enjoyed the Mapo tofu, braised pork belly, and pineapple shrimp, all of which were scrumptious.

The food is authentic. I tried the dim sum and some traditional dishes. My favorite's were the fried rice and fresh dumplings The food presentation is nice (you can watch them making the fresh dumplings) and I love the restaurants decorations (giant red fish). Our server was friendly and helpful, plus the menu also has pictures of the food.

This is an amazing new place in Matthews. We struggle to find good Chinese in the Charlotte area, but this place is GOLD!!! Try the spicy wontons for sure! Everyone was super friendly, especially our waiter, Tom! It's also very neat that you get to watch them make the dumplings when you walk in.... Not to mention the cute little tables between dividers for extra privacy. Perfect for a date night. We will be back soon!!

The only reason why I gave it three stars was because our first meal was outstanding! When deciding where to celebrate our family's birthday, this was the obvious choice. Boy were we wrong! When we attended before we had a half duck, it came with bowl of sauce, scallions and cucumbers. Because there was more of us, we ordered a whole duck this time, and it came with the same amount as a half duck. When we ask for more sauce, scallions and cucumbers, they told us they would need to charge us an additional fee. Honey Glazed Char Siu was ordered and when it arrived, it was obviously pre-cooked or has been sitting under heat lamps for hours upon hours. We've had it before and it was delicious but this time it was dried out and nasty. We mentioned it to the waiter and he went back and spoke with the two owners and the manager, came back and said we're not taking it off your bill..... no one asked you to take it off the bill and because that was their attitude, they have lost customers. They make a soup with the bones. It's exact same size with a smaller party, but this time there was so many bones in it. The bones filled up a quart container with no broth. There were many things they did not have and we were there at 5 PM. When we all walked away, we all agreed, the meal was adequate at best after dropping $241 plus tip.
