    Lunchtime!
    Bengie M.

    Great service by the woman (who appeared to be one of the owners) and the food seemed to be being cooked by the other owner who is her husband. We based this assumption of who is who on their "story" on the menu. So, the woman was efficiently and very friendly in caring for each and every table on our Sunday lunch visit. We came in hungry and we're promptly greeted and seated. The server brought us a little bowl of wontons and a sauce for dipping while we looked over the menu. The wontons were great as we came in hungry and ready to eat! We started with a Summer Roll that was stuffed with veggies and shrimp and served with a peanut sauce. For our entrees were ordered Pad Thai, Panang Chicken and Bibimbop. Everything came out piping hot. The menu is broken down into Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Curry, Hibachi... Ordinarily that would be a bit extensive for a menu but they keep the selections in each category smaller so that helps to make the choices easier and preparation and serving more efficient. Overall we were pleased with the food and service.

    Hot Pot Chicken with Shiitake Mushroom

    We enjoyed great authentic Chinese food today and are definitely going back soon to try other Asian cuisines! We really liked the Peking Duck and the Hot Pot with chicken, tofu & shiitake mushrooms. Our server, Alice, was delightful. Parking was easy. Overall, we highly recommend it!

    The atmosphere was pleasant. The server was very nice, the food came fast. I had a soup bowl with dumplings, vegetables, chicken and shrimp that I enjoyed.

    Lo Mein Side Order

    Honestly this is some of the best Chinese food I've had in a while!! Everything was so fresh! Service was welcoming, helpful, and prompt. The tofu was fried perfectly, loved all the veggies in the side portion of the lo mein, and the spring rolls were delicious! I will definitely be back the next time I am in Daytona!

    Hot Pot Hong Shao Pork Belly
    Lisa M.

    I didn't think I would find authentic Chinese dishes outside of Orlando but here we are! Because their menu spans all the most common Asian cuisines - Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese - we decided to assess from a few angles. We started with Thailand and a bowl of Tom kha (coconut lemongrass soup) which while the broth was a tad sweet for me and I was missing the lemongrass and lime leaf, they did excellent with the seafood, adding it just at the end so it was still tender. The chicken satay were perfectly cooked with crispy edges and moist inside, only critique was they put the delicious peanut sauce on top rather than allowing us to dip as we want. My father tried the sizzling plate with pork intestines and while he usually prefers them fried and crispy these were pillowy soft and tender with an addictive spicy sauce. I opted for the hot pot pork belly which came in big meaty chunks with lightly steamed bok choy that retained its crunch and simmered shiitake, bamboo shoots and whole water chestnuts in a sort of five spice sauce. Delicious and comforting. Decor is a bit strange, abstract pictures on the walls, a tin siding bar area that looks more at home in a lakeside backyard than a restaurant, but it was comfortable. Service was great considering I only ever saw one guy doing the whole floor (there was only one party when we got there because it was quite early). Definitely want to come back for other cuisines!

Everyone was exceptionally nice and talkative. I ordered a half dozen oysters on the half shell and the shrimp boil. The oysters were delicious and fresh. The shrimp boil was amazing. The shrimp were HUGE! The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the sausage was delicious. I couldn't eat it all. There was a lot of food! The owner told me they have music on Wednesday nights. I wish I was going to be in town. Maybe next time. I will definitely be back. Two big thumbs up guys! Y'all are great guys.

My husband and I started with the buffalo shrimp, which is a go-to order for us at seafood spots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the sauce was very oily, and several shrimp still had bits of shell attached beyond the tails, so I ended up picking shell out of my mouth while eating. For my entrée, I ordered the snow crab and shrimp platter and asked for it to be cooked without butter but keep the old bay. The plate arrived with no discernible seasoning at all, and the seafood, potatoes, and corn tasted like they'd been boiled in plain water. When I asked about it, the server explained that they don't steam crab or shrimp in Old Bay, despite agreeing to that when I ordered, and that the platters rely on butter for flavor, which was disappointing for a $40-$50 dish. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because my mother did enjoy her lobster platter. That said, her lobster was absolutely swimming in butter and Old Bay--not lightly drizzled as the menu implies--and it felt like butter was the main source of flavor rather than an enhancement. The server even mentioned how much butter the restaurant goes through in a day, which reinforced that this is their primary approach to seasoning. I enjoy seasoning and lots of flavor, and I prefer seafood that's cooked so the spices and the delicious taste of the shellfish stand out, not preparations that rely on heavy butter, so this restaurant ultimately wasn't a good fit for my preferences.

The Pink Flamingo was delicious. The biggest surprise for us was the cinnamon roll kitchen where bakers are making fresh cinnamon rolls in front of you and you can eat as many as you like! The beauty of this restaurant is that the "fish camp" fixins' are on an all-you-can-eat buffet. But your entree is made to order, fresh for you! Best of both worlds! We had 8 in our party and were delighted to know that it takes 12 for the gratuity to be automatic. That was not an issue, though. Our first server "cousin Richard" was excellent, but then he got pulled away and "cousin Bailey" took care of us. Both were delightfully friendly and very attentive. In our group we had chicken tenders, which I sampled and were some of the best I've ever had. We had shark and alligator appetizers. They were both awesome. We had sautéed shrimp and sautéed scallops. Both were swimming in a delicious buttery garlic sauce and cooked to perfection. One had meatloaf and said it was great! One had salmon. And a couple of people had the crab cakes which they also said were delicious. The sides were also good, and the "fish camp" sides were awesome. I want to especially comment on the cheese grits. As a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the south) and a devout grits snob, I give my wholehearted double thumbs-up on the grits. I thought my grandson was going to make himself sick eating so much! Final word, the cinnamon rolls were AMAZING!! Warm out of the oven and covered with sugary sauce.

He messed up the order of a table next to us twice and the guy didn't eat while his entire family ate their meals. Not sure if he was new or just having a very bad day. My wife got sick halfway through our appetizer meal and I promptly told him I needed 2 boxes and the check as soon as he brought our main dish... I waited at least 30 minutes until he came back with the check and boxes, then he left again to correct the check for another 10-15. I wished he would have been a bit faster and more attentive since we were trying to leave in somewhat of a rush... I think maybe this place is just understaffed or we got a bad waiter. The catfish was still good the next day and the cinnamon rolls were AMAZING though!!
