This is a clean restaurant with a pretty layout. The prices are pretty good , although they have a few expensive dishes. Great place for a nice romantic evening , its not a place where they serve kiddie food the food it is very sophisticated.
I'd like to give it more stars, but let's be honest...
PROS: good-tasting food (though not "authentic Chinese cuisine"), friendly staff
CONS: long wait, very little variety of taste, long wait, and did I mention the LONG WAIT?
I have never had less than a 45-minute wait for a table, even on weeknights. Their policy of "no reservations for parties of 2" is very discouraging in this regard. There's only so much walking around the mall that you can do. Once you're seated, yes, the food is tasty, I'm certainly not arguing that. But once you've tasted a few items off the menu, you have tasted EVERYTHING on the menu...there is very little in the way of "variety" in their dishes. They seem to use only three sauces: salty, sweet, and spicy; and every dish seems made with one or more of those sauces.
My recommendation: try it, but there are MUCH better places to eat where you won't need to wait nearly as long.
I would not call it authentic Chineese food but it is very good and I have always has great service. I usually stop there for a business lunch or after work. I don't care for chain food places but this doesn't feel like a chain eatery to me.
Everything I have tried on the menu is very good.
I wish they had a bigger bar area though.

I completely agree about the long wait. When my friends and I arrived on a weeknight evening, they said the wait was 45 minutes. After nearly an hour after that I asked them how much longer and they said it'd be another 1/2 hour! We decided to go for some italian not more than a mile away. Unlike here there was no wait and the food was awesome.
