You know that classic music you get when you sit down in a Chinese restaurant, and it makes you feel like you're in the Orient? This place does not have that music. Humorously, it was Credence Clearwater Revival (CCR) and it was awesome.
Took my parents here for their first Charleston Chinese experience, and we ordered three appetizers with three entrees. Dessert consisted of fortune cookies, because we were full at that point.
Our appetizers were steamed pork dumplings, crab wonton, and chicken lettuce wraps. The pork dumplings were awesome, but I wish there was more pork inside. The wontons were just as you'd expect, but the lettuce wrap had me asking "where's the chicken?" It tasted ok, but the chicken was hard to identify.
Our waiter, Mike, was pretty cool. He gave us a lot of feedback on the menu items and was very attentive throughout our meal. Overall a very good experience and I'll be back again when I crave some Chinese food and CCR.
