2023-01-21 22:59:37Nice restaurant on the main street. Comfortable ambient music and nice table waiting.The food was very good! The spring rolls were one of the best I ever had. The spicy chicken was good a little bit above average.1 less star only because it was not as cheap as expected. So if you think to have a fast and cheap you get only the first one.Overall recommended.

2022-10-12 22:18:28I ordered the basil chicken lunch special. The flavor of the chicken was good, but there was very little chicken. Most of the basil chicken entree consisted of onions. It didn’t occur to me to take a picture of the onions that were left in the box until I ate all of the chicken. This was approximately half of the onions that were left! Additionally, the rice was not fresh. It looked like day old rice at best.I’m not sure what the service procedure is for lunch, but I walked in hoping to get a table. I was given a menu at the door and had to place a to go order. I wasn’t offered a table and I assumed that there was no seating for lunch. When I returned to pick up my order, I saw that people had been seated since I had placed my order. My assumption was that they don’t want customers at the table ordering from the lunch menu and that they prepare lunch portions to go quite differently from the regular menu. Diner beware.

2022-08-03 17:33:33Owner not a very friendly guy. Lady serving food was very nice and knew owner had made me feel unwelcome. Food was good but with so many great Chinese restaurants, its hard to say I would return here. If anything to help support those working there because the owner/manager guy is someone who made me feel unwelcome

2023-06-04 06:23:15OK so I decided to try this place because someone told me it was really good and Im always out looking for a good new Chinese restaurant. Well I was very disappointed to say the least. I ordered the sesame chicken which was SO soggy and WAY too sweet for it to be sesame chicken plus the broccoli in the dish was WAY overcooked and mushy too. The sesame chicken reminded me of sweet-and-sour chicken which Im not a fan of. The Mongolian beef I ordered was actually very good very spicy which I love. The popcorn chicken was extremely soft and had no crispy texture to the outside of it at all And the portion was tiny. The green beans I thought would be delicious but were overcooked and very blah it says its made in their special sauce but I didnt taste any sauce at all. I make better green beans with my eyes closed. The beef Chow Mein and chicken fried rice were actually very good. Thats the only thing Id order from there again. And whats really upsetting is this nasty food cost me a $117. Total waste of money I would rather gone to Trader Joes and got me the Orange chicken and compow chicken and I wouldve made the fried rice myself and green beans myself. Very expensive meal for extremely average Chinese food.

2020-01-26 18:03:38I had the Kung Pao Chicken. The portion was great and the taste was spot on. I just wished it was a little more spicy. The steamed rice I also ordered was good and easy to eat with the provided chopsticks (one of the only things I can use the chopsticks for), and I tend to judge the quality of the rice by my ability to do this. Great work across the board.It was the customer service that made this place special. They noticed me right away, and when I specified I was going to be on my own, they promptly switched me to a warmer, inner bench seat. Great work all around.Close to the airport, public transportation, and public (2 hour) parking.I wish they were in Miami.

2022-05-21 02:45:24Always a wonderful dining experience. The staff is attentive and remembers our favorite dishes and drinks. They ask after our family if they arent with us. They really make an effort to get to know us. The food is amazing and always cooked to perfection. Ive never had a complaint about going to dinner here.

2022-02-19 23:03:28All in all a great experience, I have zero complaints about this wonderful restaurant. My girlfriend & I were in town for a few days and this was a spur of the moment decision due to another restaurant that wen enjoy being too packed. I guess it was meant to be! They use quality ingredients & its very obvious they dont cut any corners.The sesame Chicken, orange peel, pot stickers, spring rolls & Chow mein are all good choices.Will definitely be repeating!
