If you didn't know they served Asian food you wouldn't know it by the décor. Not your typical Chinese restaurant. Really good fresh food...Asian not just Chinese....great sushi..try the Lucky Roll. I've never had anything I didn't like.

This is an old railroad bed that has been turned into a hiking biking trail. There are various points you can get on it but this is a good place and you get some really nice views crossing some old viaducts.
