Chinese-California cuisine in a modern, comfortable atmosphere: Matisse prints on the walls, colorful lighting fixtures, tropical plants. The setting creates an anticipation that is only augmented by good reviews and the happy faces of those already eating.

The menu is stocked with economic, delicious plates, so whatever you try, just make sure it's not too spicy - but otherwise it will probably be good. Favorites include: the chowmein, the mango beef, Buddah's Delight and the potstickers.
