  Fantastic. Highly recommend the chrysanthemum sole fillet in tomato sauce (definitely get this), tofu sautéed with salted duck egg yolk, and lamb pies.

  Seemed to have more authentic dishes and generally tasted fresher and aromatic compared to other Chinese restaurants. However they maybe should reduce the Chinese sour jujube seeds in the Sole fish soup. It tasted interesting at first but that floral lemon flavor was sharp and stuck around for longer than I wanted.

  Food was tasty. Credit or debit cards face a 4% upcharge which they don't tell you about until you pay. A bit pricey. Also, not many noodle options and most non-seafood dishes seem to be pork-based or use pork lard, so not for everyone.

  Extremely disappointing. We went on a Sunday evening and waited over an hour for our food, which came one dish at a time after that! So much for eating family style. The fish was 99% breading and 1% fish, chewy and tough. The rest of the items were ok at best. While we waited with empty plates, a dozen takeout orders came out of the kitchen. If takeout is your priority, why have tables and seating? The restaurant was mostly empty, we should have seen that as a sign and walked right out. Definitely never coming back!

  The Chrysanthemum sole is delicious. This is a go-to place when we’re looking for something tasty. We have always been seated promptly, and the staff has always been helpful and friendly! I don’t think we have ever ordered anything we haven’t liked.
