This new restaurant is a positive addition to Norwell. It is bright and cheerful with yellow walls, high-back, slatted, black chairs, and oriental looking wood accent pieces extending from the ceiling. A vase with a fresh carnation adorns every table. Chinese music plays softly in the background. The traditional fish tank with large carp serves as a room divider. We had the luncheon buffet, which has a nice selection of dishes and each container is kept constantly full. The serving area is kept exceptionally clean. There is a sign at the table requesting that diners take a clean plate each time they come to the serving table. The table service is excellent.
