Shared crab wontons, sesame chicken, brown rice and a glass of chardonnay with my partner. Plenty of food for two. Very good ordered chicken mild as partner cannot ear spicy, was done perfectly with mixed veggies done crisp, brown rice in abundance,wontons, 6,delivered hot to table, also very good. Adequate glasses of wine. Will go back to try other dishes. Construction on Colfax is a pain. But worth it. Resturant very quiet, service speedy and good. 2nd visit. Pot stickers, 6 fried hot stuffed full. Mongolian beef large serving with rice, ordered hot excellent lots of beef. Chicken with cashews, flavorful good veggies. Wine for each. Stars not changed highly reccomended.

I was enjoying my meal until I found this piece of chicken with a hair threaded into it. It makes me question what I'm eating, if it's chicken or not, and how much other stuff I've eaten that was contaminated like this. I did take it back to them and they offered a free replacement and app. I'm definitely a little turned off from them but they were nice and it's a nice place so I'm sure it was a one off.

Amazing food! We had the Singapore noodles with tofu and Hunan chicken. I asked to leave off bell peppers and add snow peas and they did so happily and without charge. The only small issue was the Hunan chicken was spicy and this was not noted anywhere on the menu. When asked they were happy to replace but we went ahead and ate it anyway. Portion sizes large and the lunch prices very good. Highly recommend!
