    My family and I have been watching the owner’s, Yanyi, journey through her YouTube and social media for a few years. Since she still lived in Brooklyn. This was a bucket list item for our recent trip to Puerto Rico and I’m so glad we made it happen. The place is stunning. We were greeted upon entering. I did think the pop music was odd for the setting, but that’s their decision and it doesn’t take away from the experience. We were served the wontons with the duck sauce. Delicious and nostalgic. For appetizers we ordered the chicken wings, dumplings and scallion pancakes. All delicious, but the standout was the wings. WOW 🤯 🤩 they reminded me of Korean fried chicken. 10/10! Bubble tea was delicious! We also ordered a guava margarita and the Peynut. My margarita was good, but they did mess up and left out the guava. They offered to fix it, but I decided to leave it as is. The Peynut is a phenomenally curated cocktail. By the description, I have to be honest, it sounded strange. It was so good! 10/10! For entrees we ordered the orange chicken, churrasco, chuleta, imperial ginger chicken and zhencha fried rice. Churrasco was well cooked, the tostones al ajillo were tasty. Orange chicken was yummy. The chuleta was a pretty small portion. It was thin and single. Flavor was good, but keep in mind it’s one. The imperial ginger chicken while it was good, it tasted like a sweet chili sauce. Not very gingery. The Zhencha fried rice was delicious, great to share for the table. Our server, Alejandro, was so so kind and attentive. Hospitality 10/10. Highly recommend checking out Zhencha. We’re so happy to support our girl Yanyi❤️❤️❤️❤️

    My friend wanted to visit this Asian restaurant since it opened last year. The place has a very Asian look to it but the music was way off for an Asian theme setting. Loud Pop music did not match setting. Once seated we were served old wonton chips with one tablespoon of Duck Sauce, and this was served on a teacup dish plate ??? Our server was very polite and I ask for water with lots of ice and I receive a small candle looking glass with about one cup of water in measurement. And my friend ask for gingerale and it was served in an unopened can. The wait was 1/2 an hour but the food was average in taste. I ordered your typical roast pork ( Carne ahumada) It was very tasty but was very unimpressed with portion and price and presentation. I paid 18.50 for what any other chinese restaurant would have charge 9 or 10 bucks with twice the portion. This is not an Asian bistro it is an over price Chinese restaurants. A side of 6 fried plantains with garlic was way over price too! I tried but will not be going back.

    My husband and I have been wanting to try this place since she opened up the restaurant and I have to say it was worth the wait, the food was amazing! Everything was great. The scallion pancakes were so delicious. The pork fried rice was great not oily at all so much flavor! The drink were also delicious.

    Beautiful restaurant. Cozy but spacious. Staff super friendly and down to earth. Long discussion over what to order (because everything Looks great) Settled with the pork chop (amazing) And the ginger beef (large portion) And hot sour soup (very good, not just basic) Next time I’d def try the orange chicken (many tables had) and the pork chunks maybe.

    Highly recommended for any occasion. The staff is very attentive and knows the entire menu. You’ll also meet the owner, who is quite young and did an excellent job describing each beer they offered. I love that it’s a small place because the service feels more personalized for each customer. I would definitely return, and I encourage you not to be influenced by negative comments. Some people complain about everything—they expect full-service restaurant treatment but don’t want to pay the fair price for that level of service and quality. You won’t regret supporting this local business.
