I am not sure why this place is always empty during lunch time. Maybe because there are few restaurant that offer the same stuff for cheap? I am not sure. I have been here multiple times and I think its a decent place to have lunch. They have good options for a decent price. Lunch comes with soup, salad and 2 slices of orange. I have never had a complain with the service or the food. Sometimes (1 in 10) times I have to add some salt to the dish but apart from that its not bad. The reason for 3 stars and not 4 is because there is no "chefs special" or "chus special" that make this place different than others. I can find the same menu down the road for a cheaper price.

Finally open and worth the wait. Like their sister restaurant Kirin in Solano, this is a stylish and upscale Chinese with moderate pricing. Traditional dishes are offered, but so are some modern twists like green onion pancakes with salmon and a peking duck-like bao with pork instead of duck. The bartender got high marks for solid Mojitos from a large group of diners. Dont know anything quite like this in the area and makes College Ave dining that much better.

Ordering off the regular menu instead of the lunch special, my dear friend and I celebrated her birthday with the unique salmon onion pancakes and the tasty(not greasy) chicken lettuce cups. The environment is very modernand a bit harsh (a few flowers needed) but the service was prompt, relaxed and pleasant. I plan to return promptly with my family to try more dishes. Welcome to the neighborhood.

I went here for happy hour. I got the smoked salmon pancake, crab dumpling, garlic noodles, and prawns. The salmon pancake was too sweet because of the sauce on top. the dumplings tasted previously frozen, but The garlic noodles and prawn were pretty good. I probably would not come back. We asked the waited for recommendations and he seemed unknowledgeable, which is a bad sign to me.

This has been my favorite neighborhood restaurant for awhile now. Great fusion of Asian cuisines. We eat there or take out from there monthly. Great happy hour menu. Highly recommend anything spicy with shrimp, the dun dun noodles, and the brussel sprouts. Nice inexpensive drinks.

The food is amazing, great flavors and terrific drinks from the bar! The restaurant is clean and modern. This is my new favorite place and I dont usually like Chinese restaurants! Well, this is sort of fusion...Excellent food and good attentive service.

Went here for happy hour.Thought the garlic noodles and shrimp was good, the other dishes not so much (salmon onion pancake, crispy dumpling). Wasnt able to try the drinks, although they looked good. A bit overpriced for me.

Scrumptious food. Although I thought the chicken wing appetizer was a dry rub, but instead it was in marinated sauce. Still good :)
