The service and friendliness as well as the food is unbeaten here. It keeps me coming back week after week! Every single time I come into the restaurant, my dinner is on the table within 10 minutes and sometimes even within 5 minutes.

This Chinese restaurant really nails it! The decor feels warm and inviting, with a touch of traditional charm. Their chow mien and steamed fish are super fresh and flavorful. Service is quick and friendly, and prices are fair—perfect spot for family or friends to enjoy a good meal.

Out of the many Chinese Food restaurants I've tried over the years, this one by far beats them all. Family-ran, very polite, friendly and so fast.

How is it possible to have all 4 dishes so flavourless, overcooked and with leaking containers? The soup was thick like a slurry with soggy Bok choy. Really poor offering, will never order from here again, or recommend.

Terrible food, can't even express myself in words , I loved Chinese food so much until I'm been to this restaurant. And now I feel like I would never eat Chinese in my life after having the worst food here and it's not just about taste , I'm suffering from food poisoning right now ,so, if you don't wanna get sick from food then please never visit this place

Always a treat
Really gross, the food was inedible.
We ordered the dinner for two and the hot and sour soup, which cost $50. The soup was a bright pink (almost the colour of salmon?) and had a really weird taste and gross texture; tons of weird stringy bits of what I assume was tofu. The chicken chow-mein was bland noodles with sliced deli-chicken (!), and the chicken chop suey was a greasy vegetable salad with very little chicken in it (maybe 1/3 cup worth of chicken?). The sweet and sour pork was very chewy and submerged in sauce, but tasted ok.
The employees seem nice, but we won't be eating here again.

Amazing food, it was super fresh, hot and delicious, the prices were really reasonable for the large portion sizes, and really amazing customer service, the lady who served us was super sweet and kind. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area!!

Nice service, terrible food. Ordered the sweet & sour pork and it was bland, tasted like raw flour and undercooked. Beef & broccoli was grey meat, soggy broccoli and no flavor. Fonbo chow mein was 2 tiny shrimp and packed full of old noodles. Very disappointing, should have read the reviews before ordering. Will not be going there again. Gross.

Really disappointing. Rice was burnt, prawns and chicken balls were undercooked. Bland and the only taste was the burnt rice.

We have gone for lunch twice this month. We share the 16 piece Wor Wanton and a pot of tea. Our server is delightful and service was quick. The soup is delicious with wantons, added shrimp and vegetables.

Just got 10 wontons and Chicken chow mein for pick up. As another person observed...my chowmein was dry and even a little burnt. I feel like they warmed up old noodles (from lunch?) in a pan, added some luncheon deli chicken and served it to me for $12, five hours later. It was cold. The portion was small.
The wonton soup was the blandest I have ever had. The lady who took my order was pleasant enough, but i won't return based on the quality of the food.
