                        Nostalgia is alive and well inside the colorful dining room, complete with oceanic hues, soft cushions, vibrant artwork and a U-shaped bar. A large dining area with proper tables is perfect for groups.
This throwback is a loud and happy place, thanks to an extensive menu of heartwarming Chinese-American classics. Crab rangoon and shrimp chips make an appearance, but don't miss those luscious dan dan noodles or "special combo" fried rice, studded with cubes of pork, shrimp and more. The bone-in pork shank with black bean sauce and charred cabbage is designated a "special" for good reason, and fried string beans in a rich, savory broad bean purée are a must. Finish with the sesame cake with jasmine and orange.
