What happened to this place? It used to be so good. Chowmein, pot stickers & spring rolls were lukewarm. The orange chicken was super tough. Sweet and sour pork was almost cold. Sitting in a metal bowl. (As in the last of the last) So disappointed.

When this place first came to Novato it was really great, fresh food. As the years have passed it has gone downhill And tonight was my last visit. If you go any other time other than lunchtime the food has not been replenished and it's either all gone or has been sitting there all day. We went at 5:00 today and there were 4 empty trays and the food that's was left was cold and obviously had been sitting there awhile. Our meals were so dried out that we ended up throwing them away. I understand that because they close at 7 they don't want to be making more food they can't sell but maybe they should just be open for lunch only. They offered to cook up anything that I wanted but didn't see there but the whole idea of this place is easy pick up....

I went a while ago for lunch after 11, when they open. The door was open but when I went in I was yelled at and told they weren't open. I went back tonight at 6:50pm, they close at 7. I figured they may have limited options but was okay with that. Again the door was open and the open sign was on. When I walked in, they had the entire buffet broken down (no food) and they told me they were closed. Both times I double checked their operating hours to make sure I was within them. Both times I had to go somewhere else. Super disappointing, since they changed owners years ago. It used to be amazing.
This place has really changed probably due to Covid and maybe ownership? The Mongolian beef was good but the black pepper chicken wasn't anything like it used to be. Mostly bell peppers , onions and celery with a few withered mushrooms and a couple pieces of chicken. Will not be returning.

Hadn't been here in a while. Call my order in and it's always ready when I get there. Prices have gone up by approximately 20% like most food places, so be sure to grab a new menu. Employees may seem brusque occasionally due to being a small place and busy.

The food was burnt !! Bad flavor !! I called in to let them know kindly of the situation - the lady then told me to come in and she'd give me a refund. She did not give me a full refund , though opened the cash register and passed me the twenty with a rude look on her face as she walked away. How rude ! I am usually very shy in these circumstances though I felt like I should get my money back. I don't recommend anyone coming here. Sorry

Food arrived as expected..The walnut shrimp had a ton of coating on it, and had mayonnaise slathered on as sauce. The sauce is usually made with mayonnaise but not like this. One of the dishes I don't even know really what it was but it had pasta mixed in with noodles and slimy chicken. The two other shrimp dishes that we got were so salty we couldn't eat them.Unfortunately the best thing were the cookies.
