The atmosphere was inviting and made for a great dinner experience. The standout dishes were definitely the roast duck and the house special lo mein--both were excellent and worth ordering. The rest of the dishes we tried were decent but didn't leave the same impression. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, a good spot for dinner, especially if you're curious about the fusion menu. Just make sure not to skip the duck and lo mein.

After having Puerto Rican food for days, I opted for a different type of cuisine and came here to…read morepick up an order of sushi. The menu had a mix of Americanized Chinese and Americanized Japanese items. I got a lobster tempura roll to-go. It was a basic roll with sushi rice, lobster tempura, avocado, soy paper, and a lot of sauce. The soy paper was difficult to chew (1 star off) and the sauce drenched the sushi (1 star off). The flavors were fine, but the sushi seemed to be missing authenticity. My expectations for authentic sushi should be lower in Puerto Rico though! That was on me. Back to Puerto Rican food I go, which I am completely content with.

Parking is a bit of a downside since there isn't much available, so I had to pay for parking. Once inside, though, everything moved incredibly fast. I got my food in less than 10 minutes, which is probably the fastest I've ever been served at a restaurant. It almost made me question how fresh it was, but after eating, I can say it was actually very good. I ordered the grilled white fish with lemon and egg fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side, plus shrimp tempura sushi to go. The yum yum sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but when I mixed it with the fried rice, it was really, really good. The fish itself was tasty but needed more salt I ended up adding salt and squeezing lime over it to bring out the flavor. It seemed like it was only seasoned during marination and not finished properly. The salad wasn't anything special, but overall, for how quickly the food came out, the quality was impressive. Portions are generous, and the pricing matches what you get. We came around midnight and left close to 1 AM when they were closing. The place looked packed, but service was still quick and efficient. Our server was okay--nothing standout, but no issues either. Overall, I'd come back. Fast service, solid food, and a good late-night option.

We were seated immediately then that's when our horrible experience started. Our server left and never came back. So, I decided to get her attention and ask her if we can sit outside to enjoy Ashford ave,s does and sounds of beeping and loud music. Lol. So she seated us there and asked if we wanted drinks, so we ordered drinks. A kind lady came up to us to warm us they have been waiting forever to get food and drinks then she walked up to the bar to get her own drinks. After waiting for a while, we didn't want to go through the kind woman's experience so we picked up and left Across the street for some great Puerto Rican food. I kept and eye on the seating we left and after about 10 more minutes she saw we were gone. The restaurant was empty except for the 3 couple on the patio with us. She seemed like we were bothering her for ordering. WTH!
