Review

Local patronage and a diverse menu make this one of Orlando's most popular Chinese restaurants. The lightly battered, deep-fried chicken breast gets plenty of zip from a delicate lemon-tangerine sauce. If you're in the mood for beef, there's a grilled filet mignon that's seasoned Szechuan style (the topping has toasted onions, garlic, and chili). Portions are sufficient, there's a moderate wine list, and the service is good. The candlelit interior is decorated in soft earth tones and creates a romantic atmosphere. Glass-walled terrace rooms overlook lotus ponds, filled with colorful koi, and a plant-filled area under a lofty skylight ceiling. A musician plays classical Chinese music on a zheng (a long zither) at dinner.
