Welllllll.... i can't help but wonder if the raving reviews are family or employees. we had dinner there tonight..... i was the guest and the rest of the 15 people were all Asian so i'm guessing we were treated better than most because my hosts have been to this restaurant MANY times.

As you can see from the pictures... (and it's the same in person) it's very plain pedestrian decor. it's also very brightly lit inside so the pedestrian decor is even more plain looking. The food?? good (not great) but VERY over priced. at our table of 15 there were only 3 bottles of wine and 3 Tsingtao beers... so a very low liquor tab considering how many people were in our group. The total bill.... was OVER $1100. (YES, really). The crispy lobster for example were 2 very small (probably 1.5 lb each) lobsters that were butchered in pieces, then deep fried. yes it was good but it took forever to get out a few morsels of lobster from each chunk. each platter of crispy lobster was about $20.... sooooo i consider that very expensive considering each "chunk" of lobster barely had a morsel inside.

The service was in my opinion verrrry poor. we had three servers (shared among 5 other large tables). one of the servers had an amazing attitude (but was constantly rushed)... the second one wasn't bad and did anything she was asked but was NOT at all pleasant about it... and the third one was just plain awful.... and i mean awful. this third woman had a TERRIBLE attitude and had a disgusted expression with every plate she removed and anything she was asked... and i'm guessing by all that was ordered, she knew the tip wouldn't be small (and it wasn't). i tried to discretely slip my hosts some cash (knowing this was a verrrry expensive meal) but they adamantly refused.

Personally i would nevvvvvver go back... but for some unknown reason that i cannot figure out... my hosts have been there MANY times. crazy but every word is true.
