At this white tablecloth Chinese restaurant, specialties include orange beef, chicken made with Grand Marnier and Kung Pao shrimp and chicken. Pot stickers are made with homemade dough, and the decor is tasteful and clever. Walls are a muted tangerine color; ceiling is midnight blue with a gold sun-moon-stars border. A seven-foot-tall peacock and peony urn stands next to the door; a jade-like Buddha sits on the bar, where mai-tais are a specialty. Check out the restrooms, with hand-painted trompe l'oeil walls.
