This is a very popular restaurant, although I don't understand why. The parking lot is always full, and yet the food is mediocre. Perhaps the attraction is the pleasant bar that is in evidence when you arrive, but we were very disappointed with the food. It didn't taste Chinese! We ordered steamed vegetable dumplings, which were soggy, strange, and salty. My lemon chicken did not even taste like chicken, and the brown rice seemed like another variety of rice. Buddha's feast was pleasant, but not extraordinary. I had a glass of white Zinfandel. This was the best thing that I tried. The noise level was frightening, and we could hardly hear each other even though we were sitting next to each other. We were overjoyed when the check arrived. We needed some quiet -- and fast. less
