  Are you getting tired of my Chinese restaurant reviews?  I've been going to a new one every other weekend so I have a lot more coming.  I've been sprinkling them in my reviews from time to time.  My parents and their friends like finding new things, but they're always Cantonese dining, so I try a lot of different places when I tag along. 

  

  The parking area is very narrow with very little parking in the front.  It's not well lighted at night.  The restaurant doesn't look impressive from the outside.

  A stylish but bright interior:

  

  I was surprised.  The inside looked a lot better than the outside.

  Some honey roasted cashews, seaweed salad, and small fishes to hold your appetite for a second:

  

  I was suprised by the little snacks.  More restaurants should do this.

  Chef's Special Crystal Free Ranged Chicken:

  

  The chicken was moist and warm.

  Bok Choy and Mushrooms:

  

  Not as oily as other restaurants.  I was impressed by the number of mushrooms in the dish.

  Stir fried shrimps with vegetables:

  

  The shrimps were quite large and crunchy.

  Stir fried beef with green bean and onion:

  

  Lots of beans and tasty beef that's hidden under all those beans.  The fried onions make the dish look more fancy but it doesn't make a taste difference.

  Honey garlic pork ribs:

  

  Very very rich in garlic taste.  There isn't a lot of pieces of ribs and there isn't a lot of meat on each rib.

  The dishes were all prepared, especially fresh and hot.  The prices were very reasonable, about $12 each dish (as usual, seafood dishes are more expensive).  I didn't have any dishes that really stood out from other Cantonese cuisine restaurants.  I don't really understand the fusion part of this restaurant since I didn't find see any items on the menu like that.  With a lot of my friends getting married, this would be a good restaurant to have a banquet but parking is a trouble here.
