Some of the best Chinese food I've had. Don't take my word for it - they were ranked as one of the top Chinese restaurants in the country! You can eat at the restaurant, but there is usually a long line and the atmosphere isn't all that impressive. Better bet is to take out and bring it back and watch a movie with beverages of your choice. A great date night for staying in! Get the Thai Fried Rice - it's addictive!

The food is good but where this place shines is in the overall atmosphere. During the warm months they take over the walkway/patio with live music, pub games (cornhole), great drink selection. You want to stop here for a pre-event drink and snack before crossing the street to the PPL center.
