The casual, contemporary atmosphere along with lime and lemon sherbet-colored walls and a bustling open kitchen provides a cheerful spot to dine. The menu features all the usual Chinese standbys, with a few Thai choices in the mix, including pad Thai and curried beef or chicken. At lunch, diners can order from the buffet if they're in a hurry. Those wishing for sit-down service also can order from the menu.
