3.5 stars. I ordered the hot pot but the broth was too salty for me. My first visit here so I cannot say if the saltiness is the norm. However, the quality of ingredients and the service was top notch. Will have to come back to try other dishes.

A very austere and elegant atmosphere, with phenomenal food and easily the best service I’ve ever gotten in Chapel Hill. The starters (mushroom dumplings and duck spring rolls) were extremely delicious and surprisingly generous. We did the duck breast and Japanese NY strip, and both were excellent — the sides/beds were perfect compliments to the main courses, and enjoyable by themselves. I’d like to again mention the service, as I’ve worked in hospitality and lived in Chapel Hill off and on for years: I don’t expect much, even from CH’s pricier restaurants, but our main server was on point and the other servers and host staff came through periodically to assist with refills and run food. It was just an overwhelmingly pleasant experience for a date night (hence the lack of pictures). I did take bathroom ones though, because that’s my style.

Food was good. I had the Duck soup. Good portion. I think the duck was missing the unique Chinese roast duck flavor. The Duck egg rolls were missing the duck flavor also in my opinion. Dessert was great. Awesome cocktails thats for sure. Sorry, didn't take a picture of my dish. I was hoping for the sea bass, but due to the past week's weather, fish wasn't on the menu. I would give it another try.

Food was really good. It is definitely an upscale Asian restaurant. Menu is not large but full of flavor! The ambiance was great for a small group setting. Would recommend a reservation.

Awfully busy the night we went. Make sure you get a reservation. We didn't and ended up in the noisy back room bar. Great, really great food, but noisy in the bar. The dining area really seemed nice. We were sorry we couldn't be seated there!
