Problem: The food is good, but the portions are extremely small, especially for the price. The same food could be found a couple blocks away in Chinatown for a third of the price and twice the portion size. We ordered soup for $10, thinking that it came in a large bowl typical of Chinese restaurants, but it turned out to be only a cup. We also ordered duck for $16 thinking that it would be a dish enough for one person, but it turned out to be only a small plate the size of an appetizer with a few pieces of duck. The only reason why this restaurant exists is because it is a novelty in the area. In other words the food is decent, but the value is terrible. Also, the service was mediocre.

Problem: I have to say that this place was absolutely phenomenal! I would go back there in a heartbeat. I'm posting this a little late; my husband and I went there for dinner about 1 month ago at the end of July. This was our honeymoon and I am so happy that we got to experience this restaurant. Firstly, the hostess was very very sweet and asked us if we were celebrating anything special. I said that it was our honeymoon and they treated us like gold. They seem to be very nice accommodating and customer friendly anyway so I have no doubt that they would have true that's just the same had it not been a special occasion. The restaurant was very clean and decorated in a very modern and contemporary atmosphere. Our waiter was fabulous, explaining everything on the menu, going over all of the specials in cocktails explaining everything in detail. He was wonderful! Everything we ordered was awesome. To start, we got complimentary duck pate, which I've never had before but it was really good! After this course, they provided complimentary cheese popovers, which were again amazing. They also provided small recipe cards so you can make the pop overs at home if you wish. I thought this was a very nice touch and very classy. My husband and I shared the Porterhouse for two, got a few sides, and also three dipping sauces to try. Again everything was delicious! We picked everything clean! Additionally, the cocktails were very good. My only criticism is that each cocktail was $14 each which, I know is Vegas, but still, a little expensive. Naturally, we had to splurge on dessert and we weren't disappointed. So rich and delicious, each I believe were only $10, which seemed like a steal compared to everything else, haha. Howeve, my favorite part throughout the whole experience was watching the staff members throughout the evening. There seem to be multiple managers walking around, checking on customers, in addition to the incredibly efficient wait staff. I was very impressed that multiple folks came by to ask us how our meal was, how experience was, and knew that it was our honeymoon and congratulated us. It made us feel really special and made the experience very personalized. They also gave us a complimentary dessert which were too small chocolate bites because they knew it was our honeymoon and my husband's birthday was the day before. It was cute, small, and had a lit candle in it which was very nice. We absolutely loved it and I wish that there was one near off in Boston! It would probably make us go broke!

Problem: I wish I could give 0 stars. This was the worst experience I've had at any restaurant ever. Me and 6 of my friends waited over an hour and a half for our food. During that hour and a half we kept reminding them and they kept assuring us our food was coming. Finally after an hour and a half, our food started slowly arriving. I ordered a red curry, vegetarian with tofu and as if my experience could not get any worse, the waitress brought red curry with chicken. I pointed this out and next I could clearly see the waitress go to the back, scoop the chicken out and replace it with tofu and bring it back! Oh and I also ordered a tea which they never bothered to bring out. Unbelievable and completely disrespectful of our time and vegetarian choices.

Problem: I love Big 5...this location is my favorite! I went on on Veteran's Day hoping for some deals and deals are exactly want I got! The Manager Mark is awesome there-he seriously made the transaction go smoothly with his knowledge of the product and the discount he made available. So happy! Thanks Mark.
