"We landed here as a last minute change of plans for dinner. We arrived on a Friday at 4:00 and sat right away. The waitress immediately took our drinks orders and gave us time to watch the menu. My first experience with milk tea, packed it delicious OK, I think my son appreciate it more than me, LOL Soon after the waitress took our order, For apps, we had noodles, fried pig beans and steamed dumplings, both shrimp and pork, along with Beijing duck dim sum. Everything came out hot, and it was all amazingly tasteful. I'm not a duckman, but the dim sum has definitely changed my view of it! My wife and son have literally inhaled the dumplings that were tender and juicy, not gum-like. The main course followed after a nice delay to enjoy our apps. We didn't get the robot, LOL. General Tso Chicken, Dry Pot Beef, and I can't remember the name, but it was pig belly bacon and paprika. That was NOT Chinese take Tso's. Seasoned and sauced exactly right, and paired with some really honestly excellent white rice, the dish would have served easily two people. The chicken was tender and tasted amazing. The pig belly shell I will find the name later was a mixture of Teriyaki? Taste pork and paprika and something else. I'm sorry I didn't pay any more attention, but how he ate it, as it didn't happen tomorrow, says something: The Beef Dry Pot I ordered came in a Mini Wok Bowl / Pot with a small staro underneath can keep all pipe hot. It included a mixture of melt cut in your mouth beef, crispy sorted slices of vegetables, and a hidden amount of hot peppers. It was just an explosion of aromas on the tongue. Absolutely a surprise. Through our visit the waitress was polite and attentive, without being intrusive. She didn't offer us a dessert, but she probably noticed how full we were, and has simply pulled-out container, LOL. We wouldn't have eaten another bite. Many things on the menu we have our eyes on. We're coming back!"
