"Wow, Ernest has figured out this Asian/Island fusion. Delicious blend of Chinese cuisine with Tiki scenes. Get in early for happy hour or just make sure to order some dumplings and rangoons. I ordered DanDan noodles to experience their spice blended with savory. My wife got the Mongolian beef and our kids got fried rice & noodles. We all left stuffed and pleased."
