First time trying this place. Saturday night. You need a reservation. Service was great. Food was ok. Chicken dumplings were a bit burned which caused the smoke flavor to overpower the whole plate. Had the coconut snapper - good piece of fish but again a little burnt. Potatoes and asparagus were perfect. Wife has the thai pasta and it was great. Entrees were 25 bucks which seemed like a great value. Will try again.

Visited here for our anniversary dinner and everything was amazing, food and service. The spinach artichoke potstickers were so good, I would go back for those alone. Both meals were cooked and seasoned well. Wonderful attentive service while still giving us our space. Not overpriced, great meal for the money.

We were the first customers. Nice and quite great service by Aleyia. My hanger steak was cooked to perfection. The egg roll special app was very generous for $12. Tia pasta was a hit. A dessert menu would have been an added bonus. Very nice restaurant great staff reasonably priced.
