We loved this place! The butter chicken is heavenly! The chicken is fork tender and the seasoning is perfect. The coconut curry chicken was well balanced and excellent. Our server, Dora, was friendly, efficient and professional. We will definitely return to this cute town and excellent restaurant.

Went tonight for dinner: we got two of the lo mein meals, a flatbread for an appetizer, a glass of wine and a martini with three Michelob ultras for my husband. Took forever for the service, (and waiter was so unfriendly,) everything came out at different times. The food was below status quo.
Food had absolutely no flavor. Everything was so overpriced. I would never ever ever go back there again, much less pay the $102 markup because we had a large party (8), and I will tell you I wouldn’t have paid $50 for what we ordered, much less, the $102 we were charged.

Please don’t go here so I will never have to wait for a seat! The ladies are amazing chef Vic is so talented and the atmosphere is something that New Port Richey sorely needs. Makes you feel like you dining in an updated venue in a major city but the team gives it personal charm!

Chanelle, was my culinary guide/inspiration for the night. I mentioned that I was in need of a beef entree. Chanelle, without hesitation mentioned that I would not be disappointed with Szechuan Filet Stirfry. She was spot on.

Very disappointed this time as we've been there many times but their sushi chef, puts cayenne pepper in all the tuna which kills the taste of it. They use mayonnaise in a number of rows and won't take the mayonnaise out. Not very accommodating for customer friendly service. Apparently everything is pre-made. Never been to a sushi place before that can't make just a plain tuna roll. Service was excellent and ambiance is good.
