I've been hearing about this place for years and finally had the opportunity to try it. Was I impressed? Not really. I feel like it's nostalgic for many, but I don't get the hype.

Was the food bad? No, not at all. It was quite good actually. But the overall experience left a lot to be desired.

The place seems to have been modernized, which is always appreciated, yet the seating was uncomfortable and unpleasant.

The servers were nice and respectable, but the food took forever to get to the table despite it not being busy whatsoever.

The menu selection was decent. But I was shocked to see that what I expected my favorite dish to be turned out to be my last favorite: beef teppenyaki. Quality of the beef was poor, not tender.. they thought they could just mask all that up with an ultra sweet sauce. Same can be said for the Szechuan beef.

On the other hand, the dish that I thought I would like the least was my favorite: dry chilli and garlic chicken. Super delicious.

The rice and noodles were average.

Despite all of this I would go back and try other options because their prices are great. So bonus...

Im sad to write this review but i had to. This restaurant was one of our favorite restaurants at all time to my self and my family. It was like in our tradition to celebrating any occasions and eating the yummies food. We have been coming to this restaurant for over than 20 years and walking away with fully satisfaction. Ive been out of the city for 4 yrs and when I got back the first thing I asked is to come to eating in this restaurant. My family warranted me that the quality of the food not as before but I still insisted to go. I was chocked first thing with the chairs how uncomfortable they are. The service was so bad i can not even give 1 start for the service. The waitress were so unprofessional and not around. Serving food itself was horrible like im in 1 star restaurant and last thing the food was less than expected, the quality was terrible and not like before. Its like it has a new chef and different management. Its so disappointed, it used to be our favorite restaurant and now we will never be...
