First time trying this restaurant for lunch with my friends. It's an Asian restaurant with a unique menu. We ordered S2, S5, coconut stew, chicken soup, and eggplant. Everything was so delicious except the coconut stew which was underwhelming and for a food lover like me, I just couldn't stomach it. The foods came quick but the service needs to be better, you have to call a few times to ask for a chili sauce or get your water refilled. The place is nice and clean. Pay parking is everywhere. I won't come back since it's quite far but you should give a try but even it looks tempting and unique, avoid the whole coconut stew.

Oh man, I guess I'll need to stop saying I don't like soup dishes, especially the chicken ginseng soup they make here! Service and setting were great as well, will be back soon!

Added more dishes. Stew goat clay pot. A place to go to have traditional double boil herb soup. Everything is tasty with quality ingredients. Try week days rice special for $9.99

This was the first restaurant I've been to with traditional Chinese soups that a Chinese grandma would make! The presentation was beautiful and the prices reflect the quality. The server spoke Chinese as did all the patrons who were there while I was dining. The rice dishes that my friend and I had were tasty and generously portioned. We had enough to bring home for another meal. The soup was yummy, but I wouldn't recommend eating the meat in it. Just leave it there to flavor the soup. I'd come here again and would love to bring my parents or in-laws.
