I went by here yesterday and it was permanently closed! I was so excited after reading all the great reviews and so disappointed to find they had gone out of business. I hope they find another location.

Rice was good but not what I expected for fried rice. Portion was fair and the service was very good. I think the price is high for simple rice and shrimp. The rice was served in a nice take home container that is a plus. Just not my thing I guess.

Had stop in to get a bite to eat with a family member and wasn't really expecting much because of the area that it is in but the food is amazing and we sat down to eat and the owner was very nice and even gave us some wings to try and let me tell you it was good and the shrimp fried rice had real shrimp in it and also has fresh a good amount of fresh vegetables inside it too and the flavor was great..

Delicious food and very generous portion sizes! I had the chicken fried rice and egg rolls. Was waaaay too much food for one person. I've got lunch for the rest of the week, good thing it's so yummy! The sauce for the egg rolls was something very special too and made in house! Very nice lady working the register makes all the sauces and the gentleman working was very friendly too! Will definitely be back with friends!

So I'll start with the positives. The prices are great and the portions are nice. But- I literally could not get past the overwhelming white pepper taste. That's literally ALL I COULD TASTE in the fried rice. Like they put wayyyy too much. I couldn't even enjoy it. I ate some at the restaurant and took the rest home. Even going back and eating it again, I just couldn't do it. It was not good. It has potential to be good. But it just wasn't.

This place definitely surprised me. I stopped by on a whim, expecting a sub par greasy rice bowl. I ordered the chicken fried rice with korean barbecue beef, and was delighted by how fresh everything tasted. The veggies were fresh and not over cooked, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. I was especially impressed by the authentic korean bbq. The chef/ owner here definitely knows what he is doing.

The chicken fried rice, crab rangoons, and chicken tempura were all delicious. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. It was seasoned really well. I will definitely be back.

Everything was really good. I ordered almost everything on menu and the wait wasn't long at all. The service was great. They were very nice. I will DEFINETLY be back!!

This place is delicious, and right in the neighborhood. The owner is a super nice guy! I got two meals out of one order.

After seeing this place on IG, the food looked appeasing so I had to check it out and I must say that I was disappointed. However, Hak the owner was very nice! He let me sample the sauce, an egg roll and the tempura. I ended up ordering the shrimp fried rice with shrimp tempura and he assured me I'd be getting enough shrimp, he lied! I got the 6-7 shrimp you see in the photo plus like 4 additional baby shrimp which I guess represented the tempura. By the time I got home I was too tired to eat so I had the not so shrimp fried rice the next day for lunch but I really just ate the shrimp on top because it just wasn't good. The egg rolls though were bomb! Although a bit soggy. I don't think I'll be returning. SN: the menu board says a bottle of water is $99. The restaurant commented "maybe try the food when it's fresh.". Wouldn't have made a difference, it was still just brown rice with shrimp on it. I literally forcefully ate four bites. The freshness wouldn't have made a difference. Just FYI I ate the egg rolls and tempura fresh, they were all soggy but still delicious.
Conveniently located near my work, made fresh was noticeable so that was great , got chicken fried rice, combo with an egg roll , Egg roll was drenched in grease I think the small white bag it came in literally a total of 3 tablespoons of grease sitting at the bottom of it , and more squeezed out as I bit into it . They were kinda busy waited almost 10 mins at drive through window , but over good all good fried rice .

This place is terrifyingly close to my workplace, which could naturally indicate problems for my wallet, except that they have some pretty stellar prices. I got the pork fried rice and was incredibly pleased with the extremely large portion size. My American taste buds were longing for a bit more salt, but the reality is that this was probably better for me. If it was within my grasp, I would have likely added a bit of soy sauce on it to satiate my American needs. The crab ragoons were delightful and had me wishing for more if it were not for the large portion of rice that I had to finish off. Overall, you get a pretty good bang for your buck here. I'm not quite convinced I found the fried rice that met my specific taste and am willing to pop by often to find "the one." In addition to price, what really sets this place aside is the service. The owner who is replying to these reviews was at the register and clearly cares for her customer's experience. This was evident while we we were giving her our order in the midst of a rush hour ("I'm all yours, now," she said as she turned from their drive-thru window), when our food was brought out ("Let me help you with that") and when we were leaving. These people truly care and are both generous and kind. This alone demands another visit. Support a good honest local business and pop by. Seriously.

I drove by here earlier after taking my client to an appointment and then decided to pick some up on my way home. My goal was to hit the drive thru because I really had no desire to get out of the car. That being said, I really don't even know why there is a drive thru in the first place. I parked by the speaker where I *would* have ordered, but apparently either it doesn't work, or they have no one to man it. (It seemed like there were MAYBE two people working in the whole place, so I'm leaning towards Option B.) The interior is extremely unmemorable. It's like whatever restaurant used to be here went into the witness relocation program. I ended up going in. Got a combo with dumplings and pork fried rice. No drink (they only had soda and lemonade, and I would have preferred an iced tea.) Once I got home, I was ready to try it. It smelled delicious! The rice was good. But it was also weird. The bits of potato were very strange. I also don't like mushrooms (but my dogs do) so they were thankful for a little treat. The flavor was good, but a little bland. No worries. I have soy sauce. The dumplings were...okay yet still lacking. I liked that they had some sort of liquid in there to keep the meat mixture from being too dry. I don't really like them deep fried, and they were. (The sweet and sour sauce was pallid and a light pink, like the color of Homer's shirt when Bart threw his lucky red hat in the washer) and almost unidentifiable as sweet and sour sauce. Overall, it was an adequate if unmemorable meal. I probably won't be back.

Yelp recommended, consumer approved! So this place was thrown to me in my Yelp recommended yesterday actually. I went over its reviews, looked thru all the photos, dug around online and despite even some of what seem negative or just okay - this place had my eye. Here we are into the day after my looking into it I guess right place right time I got to go there. Wasn't planned for today but boy am I glad it found its place in my agenda. I was pretty excited to try this place, I mean I do love me some fried rice. Pulling up to the front the building is definitely small. Mind you that does not deter me. They did have a little area outside with some seating next to a fountain. There was a bit of a line inside when we went to go open the door, I let a couple people pass me as well on account of it being way too warm outside plus this was a new place for me. The line seemed to move on pretty quickly after orders were taken which is pretty nice. I won't lie part of me was feeling surprised. Everyone's orders came out cooked up and hot and they went on their way. I would like to mention I always appreciate when restaurants have the standard fountain dispensers over these new ones that spit out the soda in one hole. I do not like the fancy ones because it all comes out of the same spot. Also drink prices here really good next to the menu prices. While sitting there waiting I did noticed even after the crowd has moved out the indoors is pretty warm. I get it small building, cooking area might be building up all the heat around. The air conditioning seemed rather ineffective so I can not say that I would have stayed to eat indoors. No biggie, I understand it is a bit of a new place and will probably be something later on figured out. Another reason to not mind eating in well the containers are tight, nicely shaped and perfect for on the go no leakage kind of take out lunch, snack or dinner whatever you want this for. Maybe you want fried rice just because you do. There was no real food kind of aromas inside the building either, tho maybe other times they do. Also not a deal breaker. I sometimes when I walk into a food place I like to smell the air for aromas. My order was out promptly, air tight container, very hot very freshly cooked. It stayed that way my ride home. I tell you it was very hard not to bust into this because I was pretty excited and happy to have been able to get there and grab this. I super wanted to eat it. I got a pork fried rice, teriyaki sauce,shrimp tempura and a cold drink. I took a bite before dumping my sauce in. I really enjoyed how light the taste was but the flavor was there. The small bits of vegetables were really good too. I happen to like turnips. Soon after I wasted no time pouring the sauce in. (Of course i stuck my finger in the sauce cup first) I have never had a teriyaki sauce taste bad or anything like that but always have to check. The shrimp tempura was 3 pieces of OK sized shrimp. Now, I am not gonna sit and complain about the small amount of tempura I got. We went in there, we all looked at the menu and prices. Those are good prices for what we get. I lined my shrimp tempura along the rice and it hits me like heck this is like a good 3 servings worth, even 4 depending who you are i mean someone will be missing a shrimp but that's okay. I do not eat much at home even when I do cook so this still comes out to about what I'd be stretching out during the day even with some small meals. This was perfect! Went on to continue eating what I deemed one good serving and they gave me like the perfect amount of sauce for this, they really did. Like I didn't even need to stir this all up or anything. I had poured it all across when I did and this was the perfect sizing amount for this. Whatever rice you guys are using, your seasonings and vegetables, the rice, it is working for me. This all tasted amazing. I for sure will be making a return trip and well I'll most likely try something else off the menu. It tasted good, nothing overpow
