When we used to live in Alexandria we ate here all the time. Lunch specials were so affordable and huge portions. They were literally $9. Now the lunch specials are $19.99. That's why I give 4 stars. Lunch specials should be cheaper. I can get a Chinese lunch special in Pennsylvania for $7.99.

Anyways, we went here Dec 24 and the waiter said for 2 weeks there is no lunch specials during the Christmas season, it's all dinner prices. So we paid $250 (with tip)for the duck and 3 entrees mid day. We had no reservations! DMV people, don't come here Christmas Eve dinner or Christmas Day. Avoid the chaos by going earlier on Christmas Eve. We went here at 2 pm. There were many tables. The problem is that people who were there when we got there were still eating when we left at 3 pm! My family is Asian so we eat and run! We do not have long luxurious meals to gossip or talk profoundly. I saw at least 3 tables near us who probably stayed til 6 pm.

I'm not likely to come here again based on the prices, but it's ok for special occasions because of the Peking duck, which is so yummy & scrumptious. I was full after I ate 3 duck wraps and could not eat more of the other entrees. Otherwise, we will just go to Peppercorn as we usually do in Springfield. That's where real Chinese people eat for cheaper. Any meal under $200 is a good deal to me. Also since when is hot tea for 5 adults $12.50?

The entrees were ok, but the Kung Pao chicken didn't taste as good as I remember. They used to lightly batter and fry the chicken before. The service was impeccable & we always got our water filled. I like having the waiter be all up in your face. It's very rare.

I really, really wanted to like this spot. Like really. I didn't love it, to be quite honest. I would, however, return to give it another shot because I think it was just an off night. I'm giving it 3 stars for now.

First, the good: if a Chinese restaurant could be a speakeasy, this would be Peking Gourmet. It's a hidden gem in a nondescript Northern VA shopping strip. Once you find it and walk inside, you'll be transported to a quaint, cutely outdated restaurant with the warmth of decades' worth of enjoyable dining. If you couldn't feel the history, you can see the documentation of pictures on the wall with just about every notable known to man.

The service was actually impeccable. Our table was attended to all evening, and we were constantly asked if we needed anything else.

The mediocre: the star of the show on PG's menu is the pecking duck, served tableside. For a mere...$79...a whole roasted duck will be brought to your table and carved so that the table can create their own pancakes with cucumber, leeks and hoisin sauce. It was an experience and glad I did it - but wouldn't do it again. I tend not to like working for my food, and this was no exception. I found it all lacking in flavor, saved only by the sauce. And at that price point, we got about 10 pancakes out if it. *shrug* Also mediocre were the pan-fried pork dumplings. They were perfectly fine - but too dough-y for my preference. I've had much better.

The ugly: we also ordered the szechuan beef proper (a crispy spicy beef equivalent). It *looked* amazing when it hit the table...but it was terrible. They got the sauce all wrong if this was supposed to be crispy spicy beef. It was too sweet and had some burnt taste to it. We ate only a portion of it and left the rest.

So the dumplings, the duck and a beef dish (along with a couple drinks, tax and tip) cost us $200. For that cost, I can't co-sign this spot. The dishes were almost twice as much as they should be and underwhelming. Had the dishes hit a home run, I would have been glad to pay that amount.

So...until the second attempt, let's just leave it at the fact that I was sorely disappointed.

One of the best meals I have ever had. We ordered an appatizer and two meals and could have feed 4 on what we got. The basil beef and shrimp was perfectly done and the beef so tender. The orange chicken was so much better than any I have had before it was like a different dish. The ribs were huge and delicious. Absolutely amazing.
New Falls Church residents and beer lovers who were excited to try this place. Two of us each had a flight with nine different beers in total. All were slightly flat. A few tasted off. Outdoor seating was nice and there was a large selection of local craft beers.

Peking Gourmet has some of the best Chinese cuisine in all of DC Metro area. I know they are popular for the duck but I encourage everyone who dines here to try their other dishes from the Chef's Special menu! Great service, and excellent experience!
Shocking experience from Popeyes. Good was OK. Staff if rude and after every penny they can. They charged for plastic water cup since my wife didn't water a fountain drink. Then we forgot to take sauce with the 16 pc meal we bought, but yet they won't give to my son unless he pays extra for it, even so we haven't left the store and just sitting at the table.
They charge 20 cents for a condiment to go with the food you order. Things are already overpriced but to be charged for sauce is crazy. Never had That at any other Popeyes.
HALAL POPEYES, but to get halal u only have to order a Family pack, they dont give you even 1 free sauce, Its weird that you get chicken fries but no sauce comes with it! Every other Popeyes I go I get sauces with Chicken but this Place charges you for that. They’ll charge you for a Complimentary Water cup! It feels like to me that they know people will come here to eat HALAL so they are trying to rip as much as they can from them.
I wish there were negative stars. I almost never write reviews but this was something else. In Islam we’re not supposed to criticize food, but we are also taught to warn each other. Please do not come here. Staff were very cold and rude. They even charged for water and sauces even after spending $60. I’ll be honest, the sweet tea was good but my friends didn’t like it. We did not like the chicken, you’re better off eating roaming roosters or Hot Lolas as those places actually have good chicken and good customer service.

Very poor spot. I was excited to eat Halal Popeyes for the first time, but I wish I never had it. Upsetting experience. I love good food, and I’ve never complained online about bad food. This place is genuinely bad. Do not come.

A really old fashioned Chinese restaurant that looks and feels like what Chinese restaurants used to be in the 1970s. Known to be a favorite of Presidents and celebrities. Peking Duck is why people show up, but for anything else, expensive. Table service excellent, but the duck was a bit dry, the sauces a bit top salty and overly done. Not quite authentic Chinese, but if one views it as Chinese American cuisine, then you can't go wrong. Should order Chinese banquet type food; it feels like a location where one should be eating banquet food. Expensive compared to other Chinese restaurants, but it is popular. Most Asian locals are familiar with the restaurant - it's a restaurant where people go for special occasions, not necessarily a place to hang for a regular dinner.

I’ve come to this pollo campero a few times before because it’s a bit of a drive but today I dined in with my family & everything was great. Very friendly service & the food was even better. It’s so nice to go into a food place where they are hospitable, reminds me of pollo camperos in el salvador.

We all know at other chicken spots like popeyes or kfc you’re expected to order your food, pay & go get your order.. not here, they even bring you your food to your table. They really do have excellent service, keep it up guys!

Not only the food that is good but also the price, service and the people who work there are very nice and makes you feel welcomed. I hope the food quality and the service dosnet change.
They are generous and makes you feel like a guest and family.
One thing I noticed that employees have power to solve problems and find solutions to keep customer satisfied. Unlike other restaurants employees feel powerless and there is nothing in their hands they can do to make customers satisfied.

I ordered a chicken sandwich, while I was waiting I was offered a drink because it took longer for the sandwich to be ready.
I was happy and I felt heard and acknowledged and loved.
It is hard these days to find restaurants that work this way and care about their customers.

This is the values of hospitality that I admire and makes it one of my favorite restaurants.

Keep up the good work and nurture this spirit in your company. Make customers above profit and God would bless

God bless you all 🙏
The Halal Popeyes seekers, beware, only the signature chicken is halal. The sandwiches, tenderes etc are not halal!! The staff was kind enough to tell me that without asking, just by seeing my wife's hijab. Very polite and nice staff!

The Peking Gourmet Inn is a classic Chinese restaurant with alot of historic ties. Not your average dine-in or take out joint. Just make sure you bring your pocket book with you because the menu is pricey $$$. Atmosphere and ambience is 5 stars. Service and food is 5 stars. Definitely try the signature whole Peking Duck with your favorite sides. Food was prepared excellent. Flavors and taste was suculent. Delicious 😋 overall experience. Highly recommend you to stop by if in the area!

I rate this 1 star because the service is not good all the ladies look bored and don’t have a good attitude , I use to buy the combos with the side salad and the salad tasted really weird or like if it was expired. And today I went to buy a 12 pc combo to go for me and my family but no sides. When a lady gave me the combo I asked for some bags of ketchup. The lady denied me the ketchup because I didn’t buy the fries I still asked for some but she just kept denying. I think is ridiculous that you cant have small bags of ketchup without the fries.
Ok, so I was a bit thrown off because I know the area, but I never knew this gem was here. I was invited by my friends and they raved about it so I gave it a try. BEST DECISION MADE! The interior is small but very cozy. The service is impeccable, Sara was an absolute darling, as was John.
The food is served family style, and this was a great touch because it made the dining experience much better. We ordered the Peking Duck, which was crisp and Juicy. The Garlic Chicken was outstanding, I've not eaten chicken that delicious in quite some time, and ya'll know I LOVE good food. The crispy beef strips were also great...the fried wantons were deliciously crispy and full of flavor.
It is pricey, but the portions are huge, you can feed 10 people easily, and everything is fresh, hot, and well seasoned. I am looking forward to taking some friends and family for a nice meal. Oh, be sure to get reservations. Otherwise, you will wait. Great job. You've gained a new customer who appreciates a fine dining experience.

I came in looking for fried chicken for dinner and my experience has been that it’s usually crowded, on a weekday evening it was quiet and had plenty of space to sit down and the chicken was fresh unlike other places where the chicken has been sitting under heat lamps for hours, this was a well made meal, only problem is that they don’t have spicy chicken and they don’t offer hot sauces. I got some yucca and was given ketchup, not my initial choice and I thought they could be offering some other hot sauces in small containers like “chirmol” or a version of it, better than ketchup.
Me and my mom always get halal tenders from here it’s SO delicious. It’s been hot and fresh every time. The store is always clean and the staff is always welcoming. I’m not sure why people are making negative comments
We had a great time and great food at Peking Gourmet. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. Come hungry- The serving size is very large. I think one entree is good for two.

We did not get the duck but the two entrees we had, beef and chicken, were both very good.

Regarding gluten free, they can make many of the entrees gluten free, but not the appetizer or soups. While that was a bit disappointing, I was very impressed that our beef did not have flour because it was crispy and delicious.

We will definitely be back!

Oh man, the roasted chicken is delicious 🤤, the staff is very friendly, I was really surprised from everything I tried, I have been there three time so far and I’ll definitely come back again, one of the best bacon chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Highly recommended

So happy that the other restaurant ended up closing before I could order, we ended up purchasing food to go from The Casual Pint. So glad we did! Order three flatbreads and some boneless chicken wings, all were excellent and truly hit the spot. They have a huge selection of beer, cider, and other drinks to go, as well as a huge on tap selection. The best part is anything they serve on tap can be canned on the spot in under a minute and taken to go as well. It was surprising and an amazing process to watch.
The food had hair in it. The people at the cash register didn’t have hairnets which most likely have caused this. Also we asked to order halal chicken and were told we only could get halal chicken if we ordered a family meal. That didn’t make sense.

I went in to pick up an order for UberEats today and this man was VERY RUDE!! I showed him my phone to confirm the name and he turned to pick up the bag to bring it over. When I reached for the bag as I was confining the order in the app, he snatched it from me and yelled at me to confirm the order. I showed him my phone that I was in the process of confirming the order and he snatched the bag so hard from me that the bag scratched me. I told him that he is not allowed to scream at me like that so he snatched the bag from and took it away. He literally discriminated against me as if I were stealing the food but he did not do that with anyone else that came up for their pickups ahead of me.

What can you not say about a place that has craft beer coming out the door, great food incl vegetarian options and above all, staff that care. I’m from Canada, sorry. I was lucky to come here a couple of times. The first time it was with a new staff member being trained. As I drank my delicious IPA and ate my monster pretzel I saw mentoring and tips on how this newbie could fly. On the second visit it was a “casual pint” to decompress after some challenging news. It was the same guy who was training the other day. Beers were suggested, lil tastes given and the beer selected made the conversation. Luis thank you for being a highlight of the trip. To anyone reading this review. It’s so worth the stop.

**Dogwood Tavern: A Rustic Gem for Brunch, Service, and Atmosphere**

I recently had the pleasure of visiting **Dogwood Tavern** in **Falls Church, Virginia**, and I must say it left a lasting impression. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt the warm embrace of a true Virginia tavern. Let me share my delightful experience with you.

1. **Brunch Extravaganza**:
- **Sunday Brunch** at Dogwood Tavern is a feast for the senses. The spread includes an **all-you-can-eat omelet and waffle bar**, complete with bagels, lox, fresh fruit, and an array of toppings. As a brunch enthusiast, I was in heaven. The omelets were fluffy, the waffles crispy, and the bagels perfectly toasted. And yes, I tried to conquer all three—omelet, waffle, and bagel—but alas, my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The value for money is exceptional.
- **Virginia Mac & Cheese**: If you're a mac and cheese aficionado, don't miss Dogwood's version. Creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-comforting, it's a must-try.

2. **Service with a Smile**:
- **Cassandra**, the manager, deserves special recognition. Her attention to detail and genuine warmth set the tone for the entire dining experience. She ensures that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. Kudos to Cassandra for her outstanding service!

3. **Lively Atmosphere**:
- Dogwood Tavern strikes the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant. Whether you're catching up with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a lazy Sunday, the atmosphere invites you to relax and savor the moment.
- The outdoor patio, especially during warmer months, is a delightful spot to sip on your favorite beverage and soak in the Virginia charm.

Dogwood Tavern is more than just a bar; it's a community hub where good food, friendly faces, and Virginia hospitality converge. Whether you're craving brunch delights or seeking a lively evening out, this rustic gem won't disappoint.

---

Dogwood Tavern has truly mastered the art of creating a welcoming space where locals and visitors alike can unwind, indulge, and create lasting memories. If you haven't experienced it yet, I highly recommend adding it to your brunch bucket list! 🌟🍳🥞

Food was pretty good. We both got bloody Mary’s and they were delicious. The service was good at first, but we felt very rushed toward the end of our meal. We came for lunch on a Saturday before noon. Our food came out and our server didn’t check on us until we were nearly finished with our meal. Our server came over and asked if we wanted dessert while we were still eating. Then a few minutes later she dropped the check off (also while we were still eating). Both of our drinks were still full. I probably would’ve ordered another drink, but felt as if we didn’t have the choice. Honestly it kind of ruined the entire experience.

Excellent selection of IPA's, Lagers, Stouts, and Sours.. Service was excellent and bartenders love to converse with the customers.. They have a lot of canned / bottled beers, ciders and wines to take home as well.. Price is a bit steep though for larger pours and growlers are insanely expensive..

A world filled with creative grilled cheese sandwiches, totchos, and craft beer options as far as the eye can see. Good vegan options too if that's your jam. Plus a TV playing all your favorite DVDs from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. We caught the Mummy 2 and Lucky Number Slevin.

Cozy tavern atmosphere, great service, and very good food! We really enjoyed the french onion burger, pokebowl, chicken avocado BLT, and that the sandwiches came with waffle fries or tater tots -- both were great! We were there for lunch, so it was all sandwiches for us, but their entrees looked very delicious as well. Great looking seafood options which we will be back to try!

I had the melted Cuban sandwich with tots and dip. Very good! They even played campy horror movies. Planet Terror was on screen! Maryland drivers suck and I wish they'd fly up and off the face of the earth and land in the sun.

Good sandwiches. Good tater tots. Decent salad but don't love their balsamic dressing. There is music but it's not so loud you can't talk. But it's also not just "in the background,' so if you have hearing issues, this is not the place for you. I didn't like the beer I picked but that's just luck of the draw. They do have a relatively large selection. The best part though is you can get a "mini" glass to just try a small amount at a cheap price--in case you don't like it.

Favorite bar! Only alt spot in falls church, I go just about every week. They have a rotating selection of craft beers in a few different sizes, great drunk eats- tator tots and creative grilled cheese, including vegetarian (and potentially vegan?) options, and they're always playing good music and showing some kind of cheesy/cult classic flicks on a tv behind the bar above the taps. Really great atmosphere even when busy, typically i don't love being in crowds but i actually like when it's a little busy here- just gotta be quick or willing to wait a while on fridays and saturdays bc they fill up quick. 100% worth it.

Great beer selection, meaty sandwiches and tator tots. Knowledgeable and attentive staff. A cut above your basic dive bar.
Went during restaurant week and got a really great deal.
Rum cotton candy bowl drink - 5/10
Charbroiled oysters- 10/10
Calamari, shrimp, fish & fries platter - 10/10
Seafood boil (w/ oh dang sauce) - 8/10 the sauce was really oily but everything was cooked nicely
Beignets - 7/10 not that sweet. Taste great with icecream
Chasin' Tails stands out as a vibrant and modern seafood destination that promises an enjoyable dining experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a clean, contemporary design that created a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's ambiance is perfectly balanced, providing a great vibe that complements the dining experience.

The food at Chasin' Tails is a delightful journey for the taste buds. Each dish we tried was flavorful, fresh, and well-presented, showcasing the quality of the ingredients. The menu offered a variety of choices, catering to different preferences, all while maintaining the high standard of seafood cuisine.

Service is another area where Chasin' Tails shines. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. This level of service added a personal touch to our meal, making it even more special.

A unique aspect of my visit was the thoughtful gesture I received for my birthday. The special gift from the restaurant was a delightful surprise and demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction and personalization. It truly made my day more memorable.

In conclusion, Chasin' Tails is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of good food, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Whether you're a seafood aficionado or just looking for a delightful dining experience, Chasin' Tails is a must-visit. This restaurant not only met but exceeded my expectations, making it a place I will eagerly recommend and revisit.
There's a garage around the back, it can be a little confusing at times but Chasin Tails does offer complimentary 3 hour parking. I think the garage options were only 20 minutes, 3 hours or 6 hours.

The restaurant interior was upscale and modern and we were sat immediately. We did make a reservation and the restaurant was moderately busy. They do add on a 20% service charge in replacement of the tipping system but it gets tacked on as a item so it is also taxed. Any additional tip would be towards the servers directly.

The tables are covered in a paper and you're provided with a bib and gloves. Reusable silverware and plates are also provided.

We ordered the Coconut Basil Mussels which came with a quarter or half of a baguette (4 slices). The mussels were delicious and we loved the coconut curry sauce, it was rich and flavorful and just wish there was more bread to be able to dip into it and soak it up.

My friend and I opted for the Pocket Pair royal feast and added on crayfish as well. We went with the Oh dang sauce with a medium spice. There wasn't a lot of sauce that the seafood was sitting in but the menu does indicate that the seafood is wok tossed with the sauce. I personally wish I had gone with the garlic bitter sauce because the oh dang sauce was a little top salty for me but it had a nice kick in terms of spice. The andouille sausages were way too salty and tasted a bit off to me. Just kind of a tad disappointed in the flavor.

Although the seafood pot was just a tad underwhelming, I will say the garlic noodles were absolutely delicious. I could definitely just eat that as an entire meal so I definitely recommend those.

For dessert, we opted for the beignets and added on the vanilla ice cream. With the ice cream and the Strawberry coulis, they were delicious. Without, there just seemed to be something lacking.

Service was good, overall no issues and she was friendly and mostly prompt. It was an experience but not sure if I'd go back.

They need to optimize their processes, the amount of orders they get exceeds the capacity of the equipment they have and you end up waiting more than an hour for your meal, they should have rules for large orders that should be placed with anticipation so it doesn't get the rest of the customers starving.

Great selections of brews and awesome grilled cheeses and tots. Simple food but done well. Parking can be difficult (as the parking lot is small) but don’t let that discourage you to try some grilled cheeses and beers!
I ate at this restaurant more than 40 times. The taste used to be good, but it was less spicy and tasted flat than before. It used to be rich in flavor and thick, but not anymore. I miss the old Chasin' Tail.

Please bring back the double New Orleans you guys had before, and please change the garlic. Minced garlic was much better than ground one.

Years ago we used to go to Full Kee and had a good experience 10 years ago. Yesterday we went back and had a terrible experience. They have a sign up that says prices subject to unexpected change, meaning it can be different than the menu price. This is past the pandemic and you can expect higher prices BUT the same dish at Hot Peppercorn was far less, $30 vs. $16! And they were filling a 5 gallon bucket with ice water and then used a pitcher to dip into the bucket. Other restaurants may do this in the kitchen, but this was in view in the dining room. We were disappointed.
I miss the old Chasin Tails location and vibe :/ the new Falls Church location is far more formal and upscale than it used to be. Prices seem steeper as well. That being said, the parking garage is convenient, and the food is great.
Chasin' Tails is a must-visit for any seafood lover. The Korean wings and calamari are two of the must-try appetizers. The wings are coated in a sweet and spicy Korean sauce and are perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The calamari is lightly breaded and fried until golden brown, and it is served with a tangy sriracha dipping sauce.

I enjoyed my crab legs seafood boil combo. The seafood was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful without being overpowering. I do wish that it was a bit more spicy.

The ambiance was very classy as well, which I greatly appreciated.

Overall, I was very impressed with Chasin' Tails! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great seafood meal.

I’ve wanted to try this place for a while - finally did! Great food and beer selection. Lots of different things to try on the menu. Really good options for kids. You order at the bar and they bring the food to you - so no table service. Indoor and outdoor seating. I wish they had booths inside. We’ll visit again.
I’ve been going here since I was a kid and they never disappoint. The food is amazing and the staff provides great service!
Awesome location, great food! Friendly staff and clean restrooms and seating area. A welcome restaurant to this location. Enjoyed some fries and large Diet Coke this evening. Grand opening was yesterday evening, and today is day 2 of this new location for Popeyes Chicken. Enjoy!
The flavors here was great!!! They gave us the original and the new one to try. The oysters was a bit skimpy on the meat. The hush puppies has this curry taste to it which was very good and different.

Stopped by Dogwood after visiting the nearby Falls Church farmers' market. It was a quick walk and had both plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The hostess was so friendly and our waitress was informative and attentive. We were seated in a lovely two person booth that felt very cozy. We went during brunch! I had the huevos rancheros and coffee and my friend had the Appalachian country breakfast and mimosa. Everything was so good! The mimosa price ($5.50 when we went) was by far the cheapest I've seen in a while. We were both stuffed for such a reasonable price. Dogwood was a great place to catch up with a friend while enjoying some delicious food. Would highly recommend based on the wonderful, friendly service and the price

I forgot to get a snap of the grilled cheese. But the tothitios? Idk what they called em. But the tots were great. Enough for two people to snack on. I was happy and enjoyed the space and beer.
This place is truly amazing! The staff is hospitable. The food is delicious... literally everything I had was loaded with flavor. I watched how patient the chefs were in the kitchen, and it was very clean. The decor is beautifully modern and beautiful. They also have another nice restaurant joined with theirs. The next-door restaurant is Vietnamese cuisine.

I came into town and met up with some friends. I got here early and they seated me, even though my party wasn't complete. Simon was our server and he greeted me immediately, brought over water, and answered my questions about beer selections. I asked if they did beer flights, but unfortunately they do not. Simon offered some samples to see if I would like a beer before committing so I tried a sour, which was delicious, but it I have to commit to a whole beer (and I only drink 1/meal), I chose an oatmeal stout. I was NOT disappointed.

My friends joined us and Simon immediately came over to take their drink orders and asked if we would like to have any appetizers started, which got us to order the pretzels with beer cheese and a half dozen oysters.

I ordered the chicken piccata and it was so delicious!! I can't remember what my friends ordered but they loved their meals as well.

For dessert, we ordered a key lime pie and the bananas foster bread pudding. So delicious!!

This place has amazing food and service!! I will definitely return next time I am in the area.

I’m leaving 2 stars and that’s simply because Brooklyn took such good care of us. Really such a sweet and professional girlie. I love that part for us but that’s where the goodness really ends. We came in for a cute little lunch meal today the spinach crab dip was warm and yummy but there wasn’t really any crab involved. It was more so essence of crab. Then for entrees we had the bacon burger and the Cajun pasta. The burger was generally flavorless and nothing to be desired. When it came to the Cajun pasta.. yeah there was a lot going on. The sauce was watery and flavorless. There were four little pieces of unseasoned chicken spread through out. And several pieces of red onion skin included for some reason. Back of the house got something crazy going on. But yes Brooklyn was super sweet and the ambience is really cozy and welcoming.

Pretty nice place. Lots on tap with a rotating selection, a calendar of events including discount nights, trivia, etc. Decent amount of food selection, though the prices are sometimes high considering. Very nice staff.

I will say that the water dispenser could use more ice. Otherwise no complaints really.

I wanted to check this place out after going to Galaxy Hut. The atmosphere is chill with obscure movies being played. It has a great beer selection and menu is super vegetarian and vegan friendly. This time we ordered the Pesto Control and grilled cheese #3 with tomato soup. The tots are divine and out of this world. If you come for any reason whatsoever, order some tots.

Awesome place to eat!!! The food is great and the atmosphere here matches. The staff here are very friendly and the place is very clean. Tucked away at The Loren luxury apartment this place exceeded my expectations. I ordered the American Way burger. I added some of their boom boom sauce. Freakin amazing. The sidewinder fries are unique especially paired with the beer cheese. I definitely recommend this place.

Fairly old fashioned and good Chinese restaurant. Limited in dimsum but very good. Help overwhelmed at times (but thats because of the large number of folks trying to order) so patience is required.

Our second visit, this time for dim sum lunch. We had the steamed pork & shrimp roll, steamed BBQ pork buns, shrimp rice noodle roll, and the baked pork pastry. Everything was absolutely great, service was prompt and courteous, and our total was just $22. We will be back for sure.

There are 2 menus a dim sum which is amazing and varied, the second is a lengthy list of Hong Kong, Szechuan, & Hunan. Everything ordered was flavor and beyond your usual spot. In service dimsum is a really fun experience for big groups.

Excellent roast duck! Also had the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce which came with vegetables — we thought it would be all shrimp, but it was good. 1/2 duck and shrimp was $14.95 each and am glad Chinese tea was included in the meal, and they also provide a few slices of orange and a fortune cookie after dinner.

Awesome food and great service.

Update: We keep coming to this restaurant and the food is always good. There is a busser that is very attentive. Let's be honest, chinesse food could be intimidating and most time we don't understand what it is written on the menu. So this busser apparently has eaten all the dishes and we asked him what's good depending on my likes and taste, and he recommended many dishes that in his opinion were the best.
I am telling you, this place is good.
