I cannot for the life of me understand how the food here was given any positive reviews. The chef is either lazy or cares very little about the food they serve.
I'll start by saying the service was fantastic, and the restaurant decor & ambiance were beautiful. They set the scene and gave me high hopes for the food.
I live in Norwalk and was craving peking duck. This restaurant is one of the few in the area that have it on the menu. I did not feel like making a trip all the way to NY, so decided to give it a try.
It was beyond disappointing. The duck was leftover roasted duck that was thrown into the deep fryer. It tasted like it was from the day before... took one bite and abandoned the entire dish. And the wraps.... OMG - the fact that they steamed tortillas & served it in place of proper wraps or buns was a massive deal breaker for me. The only saving grace was the crispy skin.
If you're looking for authentic, this isn't the place for you. Definitely don't try the peking duck. $48 for half a duck is already way over priced. Would have happily paid for it if it was...

When the server finally came over, she recommended a dish that ended up being completely different from what I ordered — and honestly, it was disgusting. It was just canned peas topped with greasy fried chicken. That’s not a meal, that’s an insult.
To make things worse, when she brought the food, she casually said they only had one fork. How is that even acceptable in a restaurant?
She was also openly packing food for takeout orders right in front of customers on top of the ice bin. Seriously unsanitary. Meanwhile, the guy making sushi behind the bar was picking his nose. I wish I was joking.
Then came the final straw: the check. They charged the chicken dish as shrimp — of course, more expensive. At that point, I was done.
This place is a disaster. Horrible service, awful food, questionable hygiene, and dishonest pricing. Never...
Read moreI go to this restaurant all the time. Tonight will be the last time I’ll go there. They regularly mess up orders. Yesterday I took my food home and the $5.50 soup wasn’t there. Tonight I ordered a dish I always order. Extra spicy. I get home, nothing. Bland and uneventful. I call up, I know them very well, they apologized and next time it will be better. They screwed me yesterday, they ruimy dinner tonight. Instead of saying, I’m sorry, tomorrow lunch is on us, $20 bucks, he says nothing. Ruin my dinner and it’s ok? I don’t think so. Honestly, the food is hit or miss. I found a few dishes I love and I eat there often. I can deal w cold white rice, but ruining my dinner twice in a row is unacceptable. There are better restaurants in this town where you don’t have to be aggregated in a regular basis. Sorry guys, but I’m...
