We had the tangerine chicken, chicken pad Thai, potato dumplings & veggie dumplings in chili oil! Everything was very good - huge portions meant for more than one person. Everything comes to you on a lazy Susan type of thing and things just come out as they’re ready. Very fresh!

Staff was attentive and helpful, very friendly.

The turtle cheesecake is a must!

Just a note for fellow wheelchair users - call in advance and ask for a table on the first floor, there are only a few down there and they fill up! The other two sections of the restaurant are only accessible by stairs.

Great dinner and a nice night!!

I don’t often give low reviews but honestly not sure what all the hype is about. Been a few times now. Food is OK, we got the mock eel, bao buns, and beef special. The bao buns were the best. The mock eel and beef special were both on the saltier side. For how expensive each dish was, I was expecting better. I think the best thing to do is the tasting menu where you get a ton of dishes but for $90 something a person that seemed steep…

Enjoy family style eating with excellent Asian food inspired by different regions of China and beyond. For a first time, I’d recommend the tasting menu — be prepared to still eat a ton! — so you can try a variety of dishes.

I was there 20 years ago and I remembered the mock eel. It was still amazing, even better than before. I don't know how they get mushrooms to taste that good. We also got shrimp lo mein and double garlic broccoli with cashews and for extra protein they added tofu for me. Everything was outstanding. Seriously, one of the best meals I've ever had (and I'm a tough critic). Our server (Cal?) was knowledgeable and personable and attentive. They were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free restrictions without any fuss at all. We live in NY, but if we're back in Burlington, we will come back without question.

The service was exceptional between the constant topping off of our cold glasses of water and the knowledgeable wait staff - probably the best I have experienced in Vermont so far. We ordered the Vege Dunplings, Crispy Vegetable Spring Roll, the Buddha's Sesame Beef entree (Vegetarian), and the Red Chili Shrimp. While we waited, they brought us a snack mix with nuts. We ordered food at 4:51 and the spring roll arrived at the table by 5:08 - just 17 minutes. They were crispy with a nicely blended filling and served with delicious sauce. 2 minutes later we had the Vegetable Dumplings in Chili Oil which were on the smaller side (like golf ball sized) but incredibly well made. The filling was seasoned well, and the dumplings were soft and delious. The Buddha's Beef was crispy seitan cooked and seasoned to taste so much like beef, yet it was so uniquely its own thing - we both couldn't stop eating it and the gave us a large portion with many vegetables as well. The Red Chili Shrimp was fantastically crispy and the sauce was immaculate. Probably the best shrimp I have ever had. They were very large and cooked to perfection. The building itself was old and was slightly musty and the bathrooms weren't what I expected from a restaurant of this price point. All in all, the experience was fantastic and while it is a bit above our normal dinner budget I am sure we will return again for the next special occasion.
