There is a wide range of appetizers to choose from, with the wontons, posttickers and rangoon all highly recommended. The choice of salads, soups, curries, noodle dishes and entrees – with either steamed, brown or sticky rice – may be quite overwhelming at first glance, but the staff is always happy to give recommendations. A spicy and satisfying experience time and time again.
