Elevated Americanized Chinese food in a kitchy kung fu-themed atmosphere. The food here is truly excellent. A favorite date spot and student spot. Large rotating tap featuring rare and excellent brews. Extensive, equally excellent bottle beer menu that reads like a wine list. Pro tip: the heat scale goes up to 10, but no self-loving person would dare go above 5. We're chili heads. Trust us on this one.
