Among my chef friends and the epicurean elites, aka “foodies”, the conversation around great Chinese food was always centered around authenticity, with classic American Chinese takeout dishes not considered authentic. But, having grown up in the Chinese American restaurant my parents have worked at for the past 25 years, I’ve always seen it as a by-product of enormous creativity and ingenuity of Chinese Immigrants.

    Took a friend there for her first time, they treated her with a personal Happy birthday card and a birthday shot! She enjoyed enjoyed the entire experience. Just like I've mentioned and my past review, the bartenders and staff are happy to indulge your questions about their drinks and will make you something to your liking if not on the menu. They are very knowledgeable and educated us about which places falls under the Raised name after we enjoyed a night of dinner at Born and Raised prior to coming there. We called going to both Born and Raised and Raised by wolves the "Born and Raised by Wolves" experience/tour.
