Outstanding
We arrived a little after 6p.m. on a chilly Saturday evening, earlier than most weekend diners. The welcome was quick and friendly and we found this small space clean and comfortable. The menu was extensive with an impresive array of asian dishes, including vegetarian selections. Dinner was served more quickly than we expected, which was just fine, and was served family style which we didn’t expect, but appreciated so that we could easily share. I ordered Hong Kong Prawns with honey glazed walnuts (I may not have the title perfect). The were served in a delicious creamy sauce that clung to the prawns like a magnet, and pieces of honey glazed walnuts. All this on a bed of sliced lettuce. I can’t identify the spices, but it was light and delicious. The prawns were cooked to perfection. We both loved it. My hubby ordered a Happy Platter and side of white rice. It was a medley of vegetables, seafood, and chicken in a very tasty sauce. Again we couldn’t identify the spices, it was definitely not the run-of-the-mill chinese or japanese sauce. It was a delicious change of pace that could become habit forming very quickly. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and we’re looking forward to going back many times.

Hong Kong Prawns with Honey Glazed Walnuts
