I was visiting my daughter who loves this place and it has a quirky charming ambiance, especially when you sit in the enclosed deck... kind of like a treehouse. The food, however, disappointed me. Our server didn't speak much English and the menu didn't clarify so maybe it was what we ordered but I wasn't impressed. I am a huge fan of Thai, Chinese, sushi, you name it, but this didn't do it for me.

All 3 that ordered sushi said it was much ado about nothing! We waited about 15 min. outside for a table and was led up a winding staircase. One party ordered shrimp & scallops with onions/peppers for $25 (too expensive) - the other 3 ordered sushi (not the best). Our meals were served separately (2 at one time, then one, then finally another one). Maybe it was because our waiter had to run up & down the winding staircase. Whatever, the bill was way too expensive for the meal. Will not be going back! I wonder how students can afford this place?

I love everything about this restaurant and am so happy they opened another one of their restaurants in Northampton (the other is in Amherst). I didn't think anyone could top Zen (now closed) in this location but i was wrong. Huge, extensive menu of delicious offerings, this place is usually full. I noticed that many of the Asian Smith students like to dine here so I know the food must taste good enough to be familiar. I love their braised chicken (served in it's own small wok), their dim sum is great (try the pork shumai), and their dumplings are to die for. Every time I bring guests here, they are impressed. If your friends don't want traditional Chinese, the sushi is delicious. My only complaint, the staff can be a little too efficient if it's not busy and you get the sense they are hovering over you-- waiting to take the plates away or bring the check.

Have been there for lunch a couple times with my girlfriend. We both got lunch specials and split a sushi roll. Awesome service and a cheap bill! Definitely a value for all the food you get. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Only one other table occupied when we arrived, but it was early for dinner. Food was delicious with ample servings. Noodles are fresh made every day, so have a nice chewy texture. Service average,
