Went there today for lunch and as the buffet didn't look that great chose to order from the menu instead. The staff was very welcoming and overall did a great job, the place is comfortable and looks decent. As for the food, however, we were quite dissatisfied. It does taste and look wonderful, but the servings are quite small and everything is sooooo pricey we almost left right away after a first look at the menu. We tried the gongbao "chicken" (45 kuai, the smallest I ever had in China, and I've been here for years), the sausages (pretty good but 8 kuai for one!), the haixian lapi (that dongbei style tofu with sesame paste and mustard oil : 38 kuai!!! I make the same at home for 4 kuai)- even the youmaicai were 16 kuai, and did I mention a pot of tea goes for 68 kuai? A great place if you have a big wallet and that you're 40 something- some of the more expansive dishes really looked fantastic but I can't afford spending 200+ kuai for one dish. If you're just a student or simply broke, just go somewhere else.
