I actually stopped in tonight. They do karaoke Thu, Fri, and Sat nights and my wife loves karaoke, so I got to have a couple Mai Tais while she sang.

All in all, it was typical of Chinese restaurants, and decent. The Mai Tais were good - not too sweet, not too sour - though in that typical Chinese Restaurant way. That is, they weren't "proper" Mai Tais though I would have been amazed if they were. No mint, no umbrella, and no "cherry and pineapple" flag so it was a very boring presentation. The Pu Pu platter was good, though the jumbo fried shrimp were not so great.

The decor is aging, and has some tiki but not a lot. Some tikis and bamboo, a large Budhhist-looking statue behind the bar, a waterfall in the fron entrance.

The crowd in the bar was a very good crowd. It was loud because of the karaoke, but the patrons were all a friendly bunch. Everyone kept the waitresses and bartenders going at a decent pace, but even by midnight nobody was overtly drunk, let alone hammered.

I'm sure we'll be going back. It's tough to get my wife into a Chinese restaurant, so if she'll feels like singing I'm sure I could be convinced to have a couple Mai Tais.

PS: The eyes were not lit up yet. :(
