Oriental-theme restaurant seems to be cropping up in many cities and this is no exception. Despite the centrepiece of the Budda statue dominating the restaurant, this place is no Zen-like---- the crowd is there to make the noise and have a good time. The food is East-West fusion--- the tuna sashimi pizza and lobster fried rice came highly recommended by my friend Sharkie.

Supposedly the second best restaurant in the USA.

Chinese dishes with a French haute-cuisine twist - usually this combination means outrageously expensive prices for mediocre cooking, and this place is no exception. Not impressed by the place at all, and to make it worse, I got overcharged on my credit card for this meal - all because of the failure of the credit card machine, and the rather sloppy way they tried to swipe my card on paper. Don't think I'll go back!
