"I do want to say that the food was amazing, which is the only reason I'm giving this place two stars. That is, when I actually got food or service. My wife and I went here on a Friday night right at 7, and the place was absolutely jammed. We had the scallion pancakes, pork belly small plate, the dan dan noodles with minced pork for appetizers, which were delicious. However, I could tell the wheels were coming off quickly because after putting in our drink orders and ordering our appetizers, our waiter didn't come back for 15 minutes. After finishing our appetizers, we finally got our drinks but still hadn't put in our main entree orders, which was frustrating because even though we were right next to the kitchen, it felt like our waiter was on another planet. It wasn't our waiter's fault, the place was so extremely poorly staffed that he was overwhelmed trying to be everywhere at once. After multiple attempts, we finally were able to flag down our waiter and put in our main entree orders and our next round of drinks. The situation did not improve, as dinner took forever to come out and again our drinks weren't prepared in a timely fashion. We finally got the first dinner entree and our next round of drinks, but of course our drink order was wrong and we had to wait 10 more minutes to get replacements. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for the dry pepper chicken and I had to ask our waiter no less than three times to find out what happened after a half hour of waiting. Thank goodness the restaurant at least comped the dry pepper chicken for our inconvenience, and the apology from the manager (who was running around the whole night trying to make up for the staff shortage) was definitely sincere, but I was definitely let down by the experience. Until this place staffs up appropriately, I would definitely advise not coming here on a Friday or Saturday night during prime hours. I'll very likely come back at some point, but I feel this place has a lot of growing pains in the near future."
