About:This restaurant combines a contemporary, trendy setting with traditional Chinese cuisine. Popular with the business crowd, cell phones complement this spot's decidedly urban decor. Heat lamps allow for year-round dining on an outdoor patio, although many guests simply prefer to dine at the full-service bar. Mu Shu Pork is a favorite entree, served with hoisin sauce and thin pancakes. Popular seafood options include Chang's Lemon Scallops and Orange Peel Shrimp. Traditional meals such as Sweet and Sour Pork and Chow Mein round out the extensive menu.

    This place is TERRIBLE! I am so ashamed of myself for eating here. I should have known better than to eat at this gimmicky asian "fusion" feedbag (and just that no one that I know saw me in the process).

    First of all, the food is HORRIBLE. Ok well maybe horrible is a little bit strong, but its definitely not right, and you could definitely get better chinese food elsewhere for less money. My gastrointestinal tract feels really wierd ;-)

    Second of all, I feel like the clientel here is reminiscent of the same folks I saw at the sizzler back in the late 80's / early 90's. And I know, i'm here too. ;-)

    Finally, the waiter insisted on making a special "chang" sauce for us at the table. Here's the SURPRISE: he, wait for it - mixes the three basic condiments already on your table into a simple sauce that you easily could have made yourself. I can't believe he did this!

    OK so all in all, it probably won't kill you, some people like it, but you could definitely find better chinese food somewhere else for less money. This place is a joke. STAY AWAY.

    This is not real chinese food.

    If you want something chop up and mixed together with various asian flavored sauces and serverd by a bunch of non-asians then this place is for you. Ruth Chris shoudl just stick with their over-priced steaks. It's a disgrace to Chinese Food.
