This place used to be a fantastic family restaurant, but it’s completely gone downhill under the new ownership. Let’s be clear: my family and I were regulars here for years. We had a great relationship with the previous owner—she knew our names, our usual order, and genuinely cared about us as customers. That’s long gone.

Since the ownership change, the food has tanked. Portions are smaller, recipes have been butchered (looking at you, orange tofu and moo shu), and, for some reason, they thought mixing politics with kung pao chicken was a good idea.

The final straw? After Trump’s election, I got a text offering discounted food to “celebrate”. Seriously? Politics never had any place here before, and now they’re pushing this nonsense. We immediately called to get off their marketing list, and when my wife updated our review to reflect this bizarre turn, the so-called “chef” hit back with a snarky response, even throwing race into the mix.

Yes, it’s a free market, and they can make whatever choices they want. But between the sharp decline of food quality and political grandstanding? I’m done. If they want to alienate loyal customers, congratulations—they succeeded. I won’t support their nationalism or their business.

I used to order here all the time. I think they must have changed owners or chef. Last time I ordered here was 3 months ago in July and now the end of October it’s totally different. I ordered the sweet and sour pork dinner it was a delivery. The container was the small one that I know they used to use for lunch which was cheaper on the menu than the dinner one that was bigger. There wasn’t that much meat as there used to be even for the lunch container and it was very dry with very little sauce. Honestly it was terrible and their food used to be great. This was a dish I ordered many times. They also are open lesser hours only from 3pm to 8pm. The only thing I can think is that they must have a new owner. Won’t order here anymore and it’s a shame because now I have to find a new Chinese restaurant. This is where I always ordered my Chinese food.?

We used to be long time regulars. The prior owner was warm and friendly and the food was always fresh and delicious. This new management has changed the recipes and they no longer resemble the old dishes we loved so much. Daughter's orange chicken was bland, too spicy, and with zero flavor of orange or crispiness (past orange chicken was flavorful, sweet, tangy, crispy, and with lots of sauce). Today's orange chicken was bland, overly spicy, soggy, no sauce, just was not good. My kung pao chicken resembled nothing like the prior recipe and was bland and uninspiring. It's too bad because this used to be one of our favorite places. We will not be back.

Seems like this restaurant had a long history before it’s down bad as now. 4.5 stars, probably not true. Called sweet and sour chicken today, for 15$, that’s expensive. They have a big portion, but the price should be reduce. The service was nice, space kinda old. The guys seem like a new owner, but not Chinese, kinda disappointed. Won’t comeback since Mr.Cook way much better, also closer to my house.
