O Mandarin

Traditional Chinese home style fine and high end restaurant. You are eating as if you are invited to a big traditional Chinese family house. The decoration is unique and immersive. Service is awesome. I like the fish and lotus with sticky rice. I especially love the bowls and plates which are artistic and beautiful. I feel really happy and satisfied eating here. The food tastes fresh and delicious. Not too oily or salty. It also has Chinese traditional round table which is super good for 2-3 families to celebrate special occasions.

You get what you pay for. Quality, quantity, it's worth everything about this place. You're not going here for chicken and broccoli, it's not your American Chinese food, it's the real deal, it's authentic and it's amazing! You enter this place with a happy welcome from the staff. You see the beautiful bar and then walk past the fish tanks, but these are not your typical tanks for display. These are your fresh fish tanks. As I said you get what you pay for and fresh is what you get when you order the fresh fish of the day or the king crab legs.
You want frog legs well you can have frog legs, and yes they taste like chicken!!!
Peking duck, they have it.
Dan Dan noodles, oh yea they have that
Lamb and scallions with buns, yup got them too.

Excellent decor like everyone said. Service was great. Taste was not as good as it looks. Definitely overpriced for the portion and could probably improve rating by decreasing price or increase in portion. I will come again next time to see if there are any changes because overall I enjoyed it.

We did reservation for 4 on a Friday night for dinner. The place is beautiful and decor makes you feeling like you just been transpoted to mainland China. The resturant was packed and you see fresh seafood in water tanks adjacent to the bar. We ordered a few appetizers and picked a few mains to share family style. Majority of the appetizers were very tasty and service is super fast. We also ordered some cocktails but not impressed with their mixology services. The main dishes were just ok nothing spectacular. The tea smoked duck was very high in sodium and we told our waiter and he said he can't do anything for us and recommend us to dip it in the side sauce to balance the salt. We also ordered frog legs and it was a stew with few pieces of frog, tasted like chicken but not a "wow" dish. The shrimp dishes were very fresh and seasoned perfectly. Overall it is a good place but you really have to know what to order from the menu. We scoped a few Asian family's table and they had nothing close to what we ordered and probably knew the menu better. We are going to try again and see next time we hit the jackpot on the main dishes so we really have a better dining experience.

Nice decor and good service. A few dishes are overly salty. The spare rib soup is tasteless (and cold bec we didn't drink it immediately...). The pea shoots 豆苗 veggie is tender, and yummy.

The wine glass is on the heavy side.

A friend paid for the meal. I think the bill came at about $200 (three adults and three kids) and he probably added 10% for the tip. The waiting staff came to ask ... and he added more, to 15%.

10% is low, according to the unwritten rule. But, tip is a tip, I don't think the staff should confront anyone over it. I felt the service was adequate - I prefer not to be bothered. But he may not like it that way, and feeling being under served. The staff could have helped us with the soup, for example. It sat there for a long time...
