Barring the strip-mall location and the slight priciness of the food and drinks, Jujube would be an almost perfect restaurant. The chefs are able to combine the best aspects of old-school, traditional asian food with updated, fusiony cuisine. The dumplings are fantastic; I'd recommend the Chicken and Cilantro. The spare-ribs and the firecracker prawns are great for a heavier, more savory meal. The seafood dishes are light and clean tasting, especialy the Ahi Tuna.
Good cocktails too. They make one with Gin and Cucumber that may replace Mojitos for me as a perfect summer drink.
Slightly salty, and overall not as good as The Lantern, but more authentic, and definitely worth a trip.
Pros: great food, good service, cool counter area
Cons: stupid location
