Living in bowie I always felt frustrated on how Montgomery County and NOVA had a monopoly on all the good asian restaurants but this place goes toe to toe with all the upscale places Ive been to in the DC Metro area (as far as Chinese food goes). Dont be afraid to explore with the Duck and Lamb dishes and the Chef specialties have never disappointed me. Unfortunately I dont mess with seafood so I cant comment on any of those dishes but I try something new each time and am always pleased.?

You pay for it, but it is the best chinese food in a 10+ mile radius. Expect to spend about 20 dollars a person with drinks (more for liquor). The inside is decorated with great attention to detail, an awesome huge saltwater aquarium! The service is literally second to none. Everytime I have gone, there has been a live piano player too. Dont let the humble outside fool you, it is an excellent experience.?
