Come enjoy signature Pan-Asian cuisine inside this multi-decked "Palace" of bold colors, broad decorative strokes, mah-jongg tiled walls and a colorful open lobby bar. At the north end of the restaurant, a gold-leafed Buddha keeps a watchful eye over the guests while they peruse Executive Chef Shawn Edelman's vast menu, a collection of delicious dishes from every part of the Asian continent. For a lighter bite and a piece of the action, score a front row seat at the 20-seat Sushi Bar where sushi chefs put on a show, producing fresh maki rolls and sushi from the daily arrivals of the sea. For a more well-rounded experience, score a Broadway window table and share Pan-Asian dishes on our Lazy Susans. Visit the Far East with traditional dishes like Steamed Gulf Shrimp Dumplings, the Snowball Roll with Tuna and Crab encased in Crisp Tempura and Stir Fried Filet Mignon with Chow Fun Noodles in a Black Bean Garlic Sauce.

Nice Twist

The décor is accented with dramatic lighting that includes lanterns replicated from China’s “Forbidden City.” There is also a gold-leafed Buddha keeps a watchful eye over the guests while they peruse Executive Chef Shawn Edelman’s menu, a collection of delicious dishes from every part of the Asian continent. I started with the Ruby’s Crisp Chicken- lettuce wraps & hoisin dipping sauce ($9.50). It was good as any other lettuce wrap. Then I tried the Dragon Roll- BBQ eel, shrimp, cilantro aioli ($13.00). The ailoi was a nice addition to the taste. Both were very tasting and well prepared. My husband had Stir-fry Filet Mignon- chow fun noodles and black bean garlic sauce ($21.75). He enjoyed they mixture of bean and garlic in the sauce. He was a bit up in the air about the texture of the noodle.

My salmon rolls were as good as any and I liked that my friend’s California rolls were made with real crab. The best part of our meal was the peanut butter and chocolate desert. The decor was a little over the top and the server ignored us for most of the night. I don’t think I’d come back.

Went during Restaurant Week (thank goodness), the food was okay – sorry it wasn’t groundbreaking so I think it’s a bit pricey. Great service and environment. If you go here, I highly recommend the Monster Maki Roll & Chocolate Raspberry Cake.

The food is great tasting and the place is beautifully decorated. I tried the sesame crusted tuna and it was amazing. I heard the sushi rolls there aren’t shabby either. I will go there again.

Great classics and new twists on old favorites. The soups are huge so be prepared to share, but otherwise this place has been a wonderful lunch with friends or date location since I’ve been a little girl. Don’t miss the dumplings!

I went here once. I waited 50 minutes for the pad thai I ordered, which was inedible when it finally arrived. Completely bad restaurant. I think this is another Isabella restaurant (same owners).
