Have you been to hong min?  I go now and then, had really excellent fish about a year ago, I think it was pike, with ginger, standard sort of thing.

Phoenix, the upstairs part, is that what you're talking about being wrong atmosphere?  It's a lot like what I recall restaurants in China being like.  Big tables, big rooms, high ceilings, no decor.  Very authentic.
