This really the only restaurant I've ever been to with such a wide-selection of Asian dishes. They seriously have everything from sushi to noodles to pho. The variety is great, but there are also some favorites that we like to order at a traditional "Chinese-only" or "Japanese-only" restaurant. But if you…
