Our favorite place to stop for a meal on our way to Montreal. The food is good, with plenty of vegetarian options. RESERVATIONS NECESSARY!! (You won't get in without one - they're always fulling booked.)Next time we'll try their very reasonably priced tasting menu. Mostly large family-style tables but they also have tables for 2-3 people.

Great Asian food including sushi. We particularly like the Lemon Chicken, diet/vegetarian dishes, Beef Broccoli and more. Great service, attentive and very polite.

Ordered vodka martini; got sushi martini. No big deal but waitress just didn't understand sufficient English. Ordered the fried calamari appetizer. Absolutely the worse I ever had.Won ton soup wasn't very good; the noodles seemed old. Main course of a seafood special was ok. Parking is a pain. There are many other places where I'd rather spend my dining dollars.

I was part of a group of 5 who came here for lunch. We each got a lunch special (a lunch portion of a dish, a side like an egg roll or spare ribs, and a side of white or fried rice). For $10 a pop, we figured we'd each try something different on the menu and share some bites to get a feel for what they offer.Every dish was equally disappointing. I've had Chinese from Chinatowns across the US, to PF Changs, to mediocre crap served at mall food courts. Every aspect of this lunch was "food court" quality. The lo mein was a soupy, tasteless mess. The shrimp was lukewarm and tasteless. My "spicy" Sichuan kung pao chicken was not only bland and not spicy in the least, but the peanuts on top were raw (that is, thrown on at the last minute and not cooked with the dish). Nothing tasted like anything, really; just meat in sauce with no flavor. The fried rice was bad, the eggroll and crab rangoon was like what you can get in the frozen food aisle. The pork spare rib side was perhaps the tastiest thing we ordered, but even that was a fatty cut of pork on par with what you'd get at PF Changs. No one had anything good to say about the food here among the 5 people in our party for lunch. I guess the portions were good. That's about it.To top it off, the well-meaning waitress was unhelpful, bordering on clueless, when navigating a gluten allergy for 2 of the people in our party of 5. Some items on the menu are labeled GF, so we expected the staff to know something about what's in the food.(Like, is the fried rice gluten free? Are there any sauces made with glutenous soy sauce?). When asked, this waitress made guesses abut what would or would not be GF. In the end she just shrugged to some of our questions and said "I don't know." Well, can you go back an ask the kitchen? When ordering the lunch special, not a single one of the sides offered on the menu was GF, and our waitress just shrugged at our dilemma and said we couldn't make substitutions. Basically telling the GF people at the table, order something that will poison you or just skip that portion of the meal that you're paying for. For the prices this place offers, you'd think they'd be really attentive to their diners' needs. Not so. This place is setting itself up for an anaphylactic disaster if it doesn't get it staff trained.This place had a huge bar (despite nothing even remotely special on tap beer-wise), and several times we were asked if we wanted the $25 bottomless mimosas. It really felt like the whole meal was a bait-and-switch, luring us in with the promise of Chinese food and then doing a hard sell on the booze. No thanks. Plenty of other places to drink in Winooski.I know this place is new and I'd love to have more options in downtown Winooski, but this place has Single Pebble prices and cheap takeout quality. After the disappointment spread across the 5 lunches we ordered, and the unhelpful and uninformed staff, it's hard to recommend going here.
