We ordered Gengis Khan for delivery, so this is solely based on our takeout experience. We had a…read morelarge order (around 10 orders or so) since we had a large party. The food was very mid. Despite asking for the noodles to be spicy, the noodles were not spicy at all. The flavor was lacking in general. Portion size was good though, and they give you a variety of veggie options. They did not label any of the takeout boxes so we had to guess based on the ingredients which dish was what. Wasn't that big of an issue but something to be wary of if you are ordering for a large group via delivery.

I was amazed that the lines in the mall food court were for the big chains like Panda Express while diners could have had freshly prepared-in-front-of-their-faces Mongolian! There was a small line - it was the day before Christmas Eve - but it went really quickly. Unsurprisingly, my dinner was exactly what I wanted (since I picked the ingredients myself... duh!) and it was served HOT over a bowl of noodles. Really enjoyed the experience again and look forward to another visit when I actually remember to use the camera on my phone.

The all you can eat lunch buffet has a lot of delicious variety. The selection can change on a daily basis. My wife is vegetarian and we love all the vegetarian choices. Today, some on my favorite items in the buffet were the tandoori chicken and the vegetable curry. The papadam and the chutneys are really good. What separates Darbar's chutney from others is the flavor and the thickness (while other restaurants water their chutneys down). This is one example of the attention to details the makes this my go to for this cuisine. The folks working there are friendly and provide good customer service. The restaurant is spacious and ample to seat parties large and small. They also have a private room that folks can set up a private party. I look forward to returning:)

Would I recommend or return: neither.

Royal China is my go-to Chinese spot…read more It's really close to my house, which is a huge bonus, but honestly I'd still go here even if it wasn't. The food quality is great every single time. We've ordered a lot from here, and I can't think of anything we didn't like. If I had to pick a favorite, it's probably the hot and sour soup. It's a perfect combination of hot to sour ratio. I've had it in a lot of places, and they just get it right every time. The string bean chicken is also one of my favorites. It's very flavorful, and the green beans are very fresh and cooked perfectly. We also really like the asparagus chicken, Mongolian chicken, walnut prawns, moo shu chicken, and the potstickers. My wife loves the sweet and sour chicken, and my daughter is all about the wonton soup. What's funny is we've never actually sat down and eaten there. I always say we're going to, but usually when we're in the mood for Chinese food, we just want to take it home. Every time I go in though, the place looks really nice and has a great vibe. We've just gotten into the habit of doing pickup. At this point it's just kind of our default. When we're in the mood for Chinese food, this is where we end up.

The best Chinese food I have ever had. Consistent, delicious, and never disappoints. The ambiance…read moreof the restaurant is always very classy, I feel underdressed wearing anything less fancy thank a collared polo shirt! Their chicken chow mien and chicken fried rice is to die for! They have a very large menu with a ton of different options, and seating options ranging from small tables, booths, large tables, and you can also sit at the bar. The hostesses at the front are always welcoming and polite, and the servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Honestly, I struggle not to eat here more than I should because the food is so delicious! I will mention, especially on holidays, they are absolutely swamped. They have a huge following from the locals who know how good the food is, and they're definitely a favorite for people to order out from on holidays. Sometimes they do have trouble keeping up with the sheer number of orders they seem to receive. All in all, if you're going in the evening, I highly recommend reservations, and if you're ordering online on a holiday, order early so you don't miss out or have to wait too long!

So i said, they better have great food! Our server tho made us very special and was very cheerful, attentive and friendly! We ordered steak (must!) with blue cheese butter and steak sauce on the side. Mac And cheese, so asparagus, mussels which I loved so much! We split everything! Then our cocktails were so refreshing and i had a 2nd one! After that I ordered the cheese cake for dessert and my husband was full. But since its his bday they gave him a special ice cream with candle to blow. We enjoyed our dinner and everything was delicious! We will definitely go back!

The oysters were pristine and briny, and the martini, properly chilled and balanced, set a confident tone. The bar staff were polished, attentive, and engaging without ever being intrusive. Once seated, the experience continued seamlessly. We selected seared scallops and butterfish, complemented by a range of classic sides, baked potato, etc. The scallops were expertly executed, caramelized to a delicate crust while maintaining a tender, almost buttery interior. The butterfish lived up to its name, rich and silky, with a depth of flavor that lingered pleasantly. What stood out most was the cohesion of the dishes. The sauces, in particular, were layered and thoughtfully composed. They were so compelling that, by the end of the meal, we found ourselves savoring every last drop with bread, unwilling to leave anything behind, all while enjoying a steady cadence of well-crafted martinis. Service throughout was seamless and professional, striking the right balance between attentiveness and restraint. The atmosphere carried a lively yet refined energy, well-suited for both intimate dinners and celebratory evenings. Starks delivers a dining experience that is both polished and indulgent, one that justifies a deliberate visit rather than a casual stop.

It was a Friday night, and apparently, they have live music several nights a week! It wasn't amplified, or if it was, it was still provided a great dining atmosphere - not too loud, but I could tell the guy playing was really enjoying himself! We ordered an assortment. I always love Chicken Tikka Masala - I consider it the test of a good Indian restaurant. We got the Allo Gobi - a cauliflower and potato dish, as well as some of their lemon rice. I had never seen that before so we had to try it. We also had a Paneer dish with onions and peppers. Everything was fantastic! So fresh and flavorful, and absolutely packed with spiced! My partner said she thought it was the best we have ever had! We enjoyed everything, and the service was very friendly and personal. We spoke with someone who may have been the owner, who informed us that the food was from Punjab - far Northern India. We had a great meal, and felt like we made new friends as well. Wave if you see us there - we may have our own table there before long!

Would definitely recommend their udon dishes however. Great mixes and so flavorful. 10/10!

It bothers me that I like this place so much…read more Mainly because the cost of dim sum at some restaurants is ridiculous. The fact that Hang Ah charges $8.45 for an order of har gaw or shu mai today when just a few years ago this dish was half the price at most dim sum spots puts a money chill in my very bones. But the fact is that their flavors are on point brings me back in the future. I had one of the best turnip cake dim sum I have ever tasted. Crispy fried with some great flavor through and through. I would order this dish every time I visit in the future. But I would also request that they sear it on both sides for optimum tastiness. The har gaw and fried squid were also full of flavor. I do think that in the future I would request the squid extra crispy as it was a bit undercooked and limp when it should be crispy af. :-) The spot is typical of Chinese restaurants in terms of ambiance and service. All in line with my expectation. My only complaint is paying near $50 for 2 orders of dim sum and one entree. I hate 2026 prices.

Though Hang-Ah Dim Sum doesn't have your traditional dim-sum cart type service, their food is…read moreexceptional and definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. The outside looks unassuming, but the inside is very clean and neat. Not too packed at noon on a Monday. Pros: - Favorite items: Chicken Claws, Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice, and baked bbq buns - The meat on the Chicken Claws was tender and easy to get off the bones. The claws were soaked in a sauce that was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. - Though the baked bbq buns could've used more filling, the bun itself was soft, fluffy, and warm, covered in a thin layer of sticky-sweet glaze that paired well with the sweetness of the chashu pork filling. Cons: - Shanghai Soup Dumplings are a skip. They seemed over-steamed, as the skin was sticking to the bottom of the dish and to other dumplings, causing them to rip easily and lose all their broth when you tried to pick them up. - Items like the sesame balls, the steamed egg custard buns, and the baked bbq buns could definitely use a lot more filling.
