Dined on Oct 15, 2026 with Lynne’s Family
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Lynne and her family. You are welcomed into the home and shown the real family atmosphere as well as seeing the new Chengdu. We had our meal with Lynne, her husband and children, her parents and aunt. The food was delicious and plentiful.
