by Shane M. on This is a spectacular restaurant. I went here for a birthday meal with a few of my friends and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. First, you walk in and the decor is epic. A great atmosphere. You really get that feeling that you're in a special place. The menu is packed with all kinds of great stuff, but I was in the mood for the ol' stand-by, general gau with a side of spring rolls. I think probably the best part about this place is that you don't have to feel guilty after eating the food, unlike many Chinese restaurants where the food is greasy, fatty, and salty. The chicken was crispy but didn't have that super-fried feel that general gau chicken sometimes has. The sauce was excellent, but best of all the chicken definitely tasted fresh. As good as the chicken was, I will say the spring rolls were EXCELLENT. Easily the best I've ever had. For a drink I ordered a raspberry freeze, which was pretty much like drinking sorbet. For dessert was a tiramisu, very light and soft, excellent. Last, the service was great, friendly and we got our food very quick. I give this place a very high recommendation. Check it out! It's a unique place, apparently there's a dance floor and a good selection of drinks too. I can't say I know any other Chinese restaurant around with that good of a combo.
by nate s. on Great exhibits and animals, but paying 37 bucks plus whatever amount you have to for parking doesn't really cut it when it comes to something you would think is a packaged up gold mine for family trips. A trip to a local fish monger might be cheaper and while you're there you'd be able to touch the fish with more than two fingers. I really wanted to test my strength against the shark they had, but two fingers of mine just isn't acceptable.
