    Wasn’t sure about a Japanese and Chinese place, but wow. We got the Sizzling Rice Seafood Soup, and it actually sizzled soooooo good. Also had the Egg Drop Flower Soup, which was warm and eggy in the best way. For mains, the Kung Pow was spicy and crunchy, and the pepper Steak was super flavorful and tender. Both were A+. Service was fast, portions were big, and everything tasted awesome. Would 100% eat here again.
