The best Chinese in the area! A hole in the wall spot with an amazing beer selection and funky vibe. You will not be disappointed... unless you order above a 3 spice level... take our word and stick with 3 or under!

Located in the first floor of a boutique hotel, you won't feel like you're in Kentucky. Awesome bar, amazing food and a nice patio if the weather is nice. Definitely work checking out. For dinner, you may need a reservation but can also grab a table by the bar. There's also a late night walk up window 10pm-2am on the weekends with specialties made by the chef.
