This place is really good. I mean awesome. They're open all night, and serve that great late night food that one craves after a night of partying. The issue is that the place is really crowded late night, and the people aren't all that attentive.…More »

I go to this bakery for my Chinese buns all the time (if you want other Chinese buns, I suggest you go to an adults website).

Excellent authentic Chinese food. I come here with my parents (along with Jade Harbor) to eat dinner sometimes. They make my favorite dish beef short ribs with peppers and onions very well.
