Food:Chicken Satay - very good, nice peanut sauceSushi - meh. Spicy Tuna and Eel with avocado - wasn't that great.Blazing Noodles - pretty good. The noodles were a tad too thick for my liking but overall nice taste.Sweet Sour Chicken - The good thing was that it wasn't too sweet like most other places. But it could've been better.Ambience:Nice and cozy. Lakers game was on so that helped.Service:Friendly.

Since no one in Palisades will deliver chinese food, we have to get ours from Santa Monica. Alas, no one over there will deliver either, except Yangtze. They charge us for delivery, but at least they do it! We like the Kung Pao chicken, the Lo Mien, and get a few basic sushi rolls for appetizers. They also make a mean fried rice called "Fire Rice"-- best with shrimp. Their location is right on the 3rd St Promenade, so they could probably be a lot cheaper if they were off strip. This is how hard it is to get a simple chinese food delivery in PP?
