407-622-0188 | | | | | Description: WINTER PARK. Chain though it may be, this restaurant makes for terrific dining. A contemporary space accented with murals and vases updates the whole Chinese restaurant experience and sets the tone for a menu of modern classics, such as Peking ravioli and honey shrimp. Spicy chicken wraps use lettuce leaves instead of conventional wrappers to contain the filling and are a welcome change of pace. Dishes are seasoned judiciously, service is attentive and sauces are prepared tableside for an added dose of personalization. In short, it would be hard to ask for more except maybe a slice of that yummy chocolate macadamia pie.
