Food and service was excellent. I got the Egg Fu Young lunch special which included soup (not pictured). The view of the river is a treasure!

I had a great experience here! Cindy took care of us and she provided exceptional customer service. The food was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was also clean and the vibe was nice. 10 out of 10. Don’t listen to the negative comments.

First visit today and pleasantly surprised. Probably among the best in the area and close to I-93. Lunch was excellent, good choices, and staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Not many places you can get a wide selection like this. The Basil Chicken was well prepared, tasty, and had a nice spice. Will definitely come back for more.

Every dish I ordered was top notch. The service exceeded my expectations. Superior to other restaurant service. The restaurant is setup nicely with a bar off to the side in a separate room. There is an outside deck overlooking the river for outside dining or cocktails. They offer karaoke on Thursday nights. Bathrooms are modern and clean. I highly recommend the sushi dishes.

The staff and the food exceeds expectations and go above and beyond. The staff are engaging and charming and the food is delicious and great value. The decorations on the sushi dish look more suitable to a wedding than a plate. It's very picturesque and I appreciate the effort in presentation. The appetizer sampler is amazing value and it's so cheap for all the different flavors you get to try. It's a high recommend if you want to try a lot of variety on your first visit.
