We were visiting the area and ordered to go, Combo fried rice which had a burnt taste. We also ordered orange chicken. Every Chinese restaurant we have ever been to for the last 40 or so years give a container full of orange chicken (beef, pork or whatever). In this case the container was about 75% white rice and a thin layer of "orange chicken" on top. Bottom line, skip this place and go to an authentic Chinese restaurant.

This is a different type of restaurant. I want to preface this review by saying that their food is fantastic. This is an amazing place for take away. But this restaurant really cares about their customers. Last 2 times I went in to eat, kitchen forgot my order. This was not really an inconvenience for me but the restaurant gave me discounts for me being “inconvenienced”. This restaurant really cares about their customer experience which is rare. I wish I remembered the waitress’s name so this establishment could give her the credit she deserves. This is awesome and I would recommend it on their customer service alone. Get the salad it is gas.

The food was bad, way too much salt, way too much sugar. Chicken came out in 3 minutes so it was not fresh. The art on the walls looks like a horror movie. Just because you have trauma in your life doesn’t mean I want to see it. Service was lacking. Definitely won’t come back.
the lettuce wrap sauce is great here. hot mustard makes it.
The best.

I thoroughly enjoy this restaurant so much!!! Everyone I have brought to eat here has either become a full fledged customer themselves, or if not from the area, they have enjoyed it as much as my wife and I have. The service has ALWAYS been very minimal, but you are there to eat good food in a beach community, your not eating at the 4 Seasons. That said, if you need service, sit at the bar area, it will allow you to get there attention easier, and get more water, or whatever you required.

I wanted to try this one out with my mom and aunt. I was pleasantly surprised by the food taste and portions. Servers were really attentive and the price is on point. The place is a little tight but it might have been a club or bar at some point so it's

It's been here forever, it even burned down once! The salad is their signature dish but there are much better items on the menu. Ho Sum is always my Tuesday night choice. The staff are friendly but recently there was some confusion when members of my group paid separately, causing bills to be swapped when we paid in different cards and cash. Someone else ended up paying for a much less expensive meal in cash while I paid for theirs on the card and the waiter pocketed the cash difference. It was obvious, it was theft and it was fixed. After 15 years of attendance I won't be back for that specific reason,no matter how good the mu shu is.

Wow, drove by for years and finally ate here. Blown away how good the food is. Also a great value. We ordered the Ho Sum salad with chicken size large. Literally 4 people can share this. Also ordered the Mu Sho with pork. Also unbelievable how good of a value this place is. We will definitely be back!

Stopped for dinner because where we were going was closed for Halloween. Meals were bad. Not one decent dish out of the 6 we ordered.
The place I miss eating most in Newport. The best.
