Exceptional food and a hidden gem of a restaurant for anyone who adores Chinese cuisine. From the fresh, crisp egg rolls to the full range of kung pow specialties to the Hong Kong style dishes to the delicately prepared seafoods (once in a lifetime candied walnut prawns for a life-changing experience!). Very sweet and welcoming young couple (yea, Mary) are the owners, the staff are well-trained and carefully selected, the service is impeccable, and the prices are very, very competitive. You'll want to order extra dishes to take home for the next day(s). Wonderful. Ellie and Bob Fisher

Excellent American style Chinese food. A new family favorite I expect the in-laws to demand when they visit as the new standard, which is decently high praise. I recommend anything fried.

Disappointing! Szechwan food is supposed to be spicy, but their food was just basic Chinese food. Nothing special. Looks like this Szechwan restaurant has a Cantonese chef or they just "Americanized" their food too much.

I tried their crispy noodle chow mien. It was absolutely scrumptious!!! The noodles, pork, and the rest of ingredients combined made the dish over the top yummy! I will definitely be back to try other dishes . Kathy

The food was great. I ordered the szechwan shrimp. It was so tasty and really filling. Portions were enough at good prices. Great atmosphere and nice hometown setting. The service was non-intrusive but they always knew when I would need something like a water refill. I will definitely come back when in the area.Parking: One hour limit parking in back of restaurant.

I was in this area today running errands, then I got hungry.. I found this place, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed my experience. The food is very typical American Chinese food. But it was good, everything came hot and fresh. I got lunch special kung pao shrimp. It had Crisp veggies, fresh shrimp and a very good fried rice. What I enjoyed most was the view of the golf course, it was a rainy day but the trees and wet green grass just made me feel tranquil and relaxed. I have a family, I'm a mom of a young kid. Sometimes the highlight of my week is running errands and enjoying a quiet meal by my self. This restaurant is the perfect place to sit quietly, eat and enjoy a pretty view. The waitress was just attentive enough, polite and friendly. Ill definitely be back to try other things

I had the Happy Family seafood dish, and it was delicious, but the steam rice is dry and lumpy.
