The staff was great & the food & drinks were fantastic. The only negative is that they were out of pineapple juice, so 3 of us had to change our beverage orders (we survived).

The Szechuan dumplings are top notch. I don’t know what is in that sauce but it must be made with crack because it is addictive. All the other dishes we tried were also fantastic. Will come back!
