Cuisine: Largely Chinese, with additions of Japanese, Thai and Korean.

Serve Alcohol: Yes
Parking: Valet available
Ambience:
The first thing that is sure to strike you when you enter this restaurant is how spacious it is. Though they have, the prerequisite for any Chinese Restaurant, usual faux ponds with koi fish swimming in it, toads sprouting water, dragons greeting you at the door and Chinese silk paintings dominating a wall, this restaurant is done up extremely stylishly. Soft lighting lends warmth and comfortable rosewood tables and chairs are spaced widely enough to offer adequate privacy to each table.
The spacious floor space has been tastefully divided into areas which hold tables to seat large groups/families and those for couples and groups of four.
Staff;
Attentive, quick and courteous, though language was a slight problem with some. The manager was very attentive too, doing the rounds of the tables and guiding, chiding and keeping an eagle eye on the staff.
What we ate;
The buffet includes;
Soft drinks and fresh fruit juices
4 types of soup (2 veg and 2 non-veg)
(I had the chicken manchow soup, which with delicious)
A mind boggling array of starters with non-vegetarian choices far out favoring the vegetarian ones in number. The starters are mostly fried and steamed. 4 different types of sauces are the accompaniments.
(Do try the dumplings and the sticky rice starters)
A sushi counter
Vegetarian (mango sushi!) and non-vegetarian sushi which were strictly a-okay. The sushi wasn’t rolled very expertly, nor did it seem very fresh. Though the pickled ginger slices were good, the wasabi paste was extremely dry, the consistency of clay!
Main course
Steamed rice, fried rice and noodles. 4-5 varieties of vegetables/curries.
Once again, very little choice for vegetarians, with just 2 veg dishes. I had steamed rice with red Thai curry, the curry was really nice.
Dessert
The dessert counter showcased diamond-shaped Chinese desserts like chocolate, blackcurrant and lemon jellies (please avoid!) along with squares of tiramisu, cheesecake, gateau’s and torte’s (really, really good!) and wedges of tea cakes like butter cake, walnut cake etc (very dry!)
Do try the tiny cookies though, they were super-yum!
They also have a Baskin-Robbins ice cream counter with a dozen flavors to choose from.
I think you should know;
*********************************
The staff do not inform you of what all the buffet compromises of.
The main course and dessert are served in the inside dining room, as a result of which most people unknowingly skip those or find out about only much later.
The buffet has limited choices for vegetarians.
The strong smell of the non-veg food being fried, on an open counter, could be off putting for vegetarians.

Excellent Chinese (Indian Style)
One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. The orange tofu with fried spinach if just great. Also do not miss the korean rice. Gets a little too noisy on the weekends plus has a very limited wine collection. Apart from these downsides, this place is the perfect spot for some amazing chinese food especially with an Indian touch on it - not too expensive either (if ones compares this to China garden or Royal China)

Awesome!
Bedlam during the weekends and friday nights when one has to wait in long queues down the tiny street but the food is well worth the tedious wait. The ambience is wonderful and everything that I have tried on the menu has been fantastic! The service is efficient and the staff are attentive without being non intrusive (although this is more true during the weekdays rather than weekends). Highly recommended!

good food (veg)
it started off in a chaos. it was a sunday. the traffic outside on the tiny street was absolutely crazy. the attendant at the reservation counter was a little overwhelmed by the crowd of people standing on her head. clearly she couldn't handle things well. so things started off on a bad note.
however, once we got a table for 8, things were pretty cool then on. the service is excellent. they brought out the soup and starters almost like a fast food restaurant which was impressive.
i don't remember exactly the food we ordered. but i must say that the food was pretty good. we all liked it. though they have a smallish vegetarian menu, it's decent enough!
