We were visiting Lawrence briefly, and my daughter loves Asian cuisine, so we searched Yelp and gave this restaurant a try. It did not disappoint. If we are ever in town again, we will definitely go back.

Been here a few times and have ordered off both the regular menu and the traditional Chinese menu (the hot pot is great). Particularly impressed with their bento boxes - a lot of food for the money. Yellowtail sashimi was amazing. Service has always been good as well. I have tried the Thai food yet but I'm looking forward to trying their red curry. They have a large variety of dishes and they do almost all of them right.
