The waitress was terrible! She was rude and acted as if we were a bother to wait on. When we requested lemon slices and a to go box, she seemed very irritated. Just for customer information, you must order a minimum of $7.00 and there is a small charge for to-go containers.
This was during lunch on Friday, October 3, 2026.

The food has changed over the years and was not so good this time. The egg roll and cup of soup was good but 4 out of five entrees not so good the one entree that tasted good was sweet and sour chicken we all agreed that it tasted good. The server was nice and took 3 of 4 seafood dishes back to the kitchen, he came back out and said the cook tasted them and found all very good. The 3 dishes sent back stayed on our check and the 3 ordered sweet and sour chicken and it arrived and was super good. The one that eat half of his seafood dishes and took the other half home
became violently ill about six hours later and because of his age, we ended up taking him to the emergency room. He receives several bags of IV with medication to help him stop the vomiting. The emergency room physician believed it was food poisoning and contacted the health department. The whole experience surprised me since we’ve been eating at this restaurant 3 to 4 times a month for about 16 years now and have enjoyed taking friends and family there to enjoy the food. As a courtesy I tried to reach the owner the next day and the gentleman that I spoke with who identified himself as the owner said it was the same seafood he served all day long for the past two days and nobody else was sick so It must be our friend had the flu. I tried to Explained to him that was not the case, but he insisted it was. He then told me Don’t ever come back here again. Newsflash we would not be going back there again “ever” … Something definitely has changed in the past few years and the quality of food And the service has done nothing but gone downhill. I suspect they won’t be open much longer with this kind of food quality and POOR treatment. When I paid the check the 3 bad seafood dishes stayed on our check so I paid for 8 dishes for 5 people and was told
The owner said we had to pay for them. Good luck Yen Chen you will not get any Moore money from us or our friends.

This is not a review it’s a warning. Although the staff was nice and the food came quick it was surprisingly overpriced for what it is. I’m not really sure what any of the meat was supposed to be but it was definitely salty. So if you want an empty wallet and probably food poisoning, this is just the place.

I ordered the scallops and snow peas dinner, and what I got was calamari and water chestnuts, and when I asked the waitress and the waiter, they told me that it was due to cost cutting. It makes me wonder what was in the mushu pork that I decided to order on the other hand and decided this morning that that will be going in the trash and we will not be going back.

Omg I think I just found a hidden gem and I already can't wait to go back! The 'bo bo platter' (pu pu) platter is phenomenal - the beef sticks and crab rangoons are amazing. MAKE SURE you get the dumplings (pot stickers) they are the star of the show. This is the closest I've found to East Coast Chinese food and I've been in Arizona since 2016! I'm in love! Thank you! I was too obsessed with being in the moment to take pictures! l will for sure next time! And the service was just wonderful! What a lovely dinner we just had! 🤗🙏

The restaurant was very crowded.They did not have enough help. The food was only marginal, and we paid a lot of money for it.

I had the worst egg fu young ever. I ordered the pork egg fu young. I was served two very small patties that looked like and tasted like vegan food. The patties were very thin and tasted like something that had natural food fillers in them. They were virtually tasteless. The patties were topped with the pork and vegetables. The supposed pork was very mushy and again, it had absolutely no flavor at all. Perhaps it was foreign matter🤔. The patties were swimming in a sauce and vegetables that went way, way beyond being salty. This was the worst waste of $27 that I have ever spent on food. I don't recall what my dinner partner ordered, but their comment was that they never had such terrible food. Unfortunately, we went here for a bit of a special occasion.
