We had not had dinner here in a couple of years, until last night. I saw the new menu items page with the "Tea-Smoked Duck and had to try it! It was worth the drive in the Winter storm to try the generous serving of Half Duck!

I went here last night with my partner and my daughter and I’m so glad we did because it was awesome! Honestly the best Chinese food we’ve have since moving to the area 3 years ago. Everything is super fresh. My daughter ordered vegetable fried rice and there were actually hearty and fresh veggies in it! Im a vegetarian and ordered the “imitation” sweet and sour chicken. Normally im not big on fake meats but I’m so glad I got this because it was absolutely delicious. My very meat loving partner even liked it. The staff is extremely welcoming and very efficient. We will absolutely be back here and highly Recommend you try it!

An amazing place focused on healthy options of Chinese cuisine!!

Tasty Chinese home cooking. Really, "home" - family cooks and grandma and grandpa sit at tables nearby.I think their beer is a loss leader - cheap tasty German imports for $4.50

We have been ordering from Renee for years. We love the rolling lettuce chicken, soups, vegetarian entrees, and fried rice. Our kids especially love the fried rice and I love that it's made with quality ingredients and not greasy. Yes it's a bit pricey, but they prioritize using fresh and organic ingredients as much as possible. Bonus - Renee is always kind and welcoming.

Definitely a local favorite. Everything on the menu is tasty and prepared thoughtfully. Unlike other local places, we also appreciate that every entree is not dripping with oil and grease. Renee's really focuses on quality. As it's a smaller local place, the menu is not as extensive, but everything is good.
The quality of food has gone down a lot, we used to like this place. It was empty on a Sunday, and it seems they don't have much business anymore.We ordered two types of fish and they were not fresh, have to send them back. Not coming back.At least the eggplant with garlic sauce was still good.

My friend and I stumbled across this place as we were walking by. We walked in and the decor was gorgeous. The customer service was amazing ,they sat us by the window. We ordered the pork dumplings and the green onion pancake. We got some jasmin tea an order of orange chicken and a order of chicken chow mein. Everything was delicious and my friend even ordered a chow mein to go. I'll definitely be back and recommend. I wish I had taken photos :(

I was so excited to try their Veggie potstickers until I opened the box and saw how small they were . Not to mention the fact that they were filled with spinach only and tasted awful like plastic . Cost about 15 dollars for this . I will never go again .

Strangest combination of "Chinese" food I've ever had. The crispy duck was crispy all right. Very little duck left after frying the bejesus out of it. Not sure what the point of the fried tofu was. It was like eating regular tofu with the outside lightly toasted. And the HK pan fried noodles were quite burnt and very crunchy. Nothing against the people working there as they were very friendly and were talking about how their kids are all grown up and going to college which was very sweet. But... the food is definitely incredibly lackluster and overpriced.
