The appetizers, including the delectable dumplings and egg rolls, were a highlight of our meal, tantalizing our taste buds and leaving us eager for more. Each bite was bursting with flavor, a testament to the skill and dedication of the kitchen staff.
For Jo, the Sautéed Shrimp Salad proved to be a revelation. The shrimp paired harmoniously with the crisp lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The soy sauce dressing elevated the dish to new heights.
Meanwhile, Emily's choice of Rice with Yellow Chicken Curry exceeded all expectations.
