Yes it is gourmet !

Located just off Palo Alto's main drag is a true Oriental gem. We had 2 amazing dishes for dinner - lamb kung pao and a smoked duck. Unusually prepared, totally delicious. Wish we could have sampled more off this chef's menu !

Small and quiet

This is a nice small and quiet restaurant. The food is pretty good but nothing special. Prices are pretty standard for downtown Palo Alto. The dishes marked 'spicy' are not very hot.
