I treated my wife to this tasty restaurant after our return from Rome on a Sunday. After performing a magic show for a party some years ago in this restaurant, I recalled their tasty food. We ate in a private booth. The service was very professional and did everything for us with a smile. The prices may be high but the food was great, tasty, properly heated. We ordered a few dishes which came in large bowls and shared it; House special lo mein, veg. fried rice, chicken cutlet salad, raspberry tea, fries, and, a hot chocolate volcano with parve ice-cream. We had much food left over and took it home to create another dinner. The final price which included about a 20% tip, taxes= $138. However, the food to feed 1 could feed a family. Very tasty and fresh. We will return on a future date. Benjilini - Benjilini
