Food used to be pretty good. It's under new management and it's not as good as before. They've messed up my order a couple times.

I honestly do not recommend going to this restaurant. Bought food last night using the Uber eats app for pick up and I've never been more disappointed in getting Chinese food at night. You walk in there and the place literally smells like an animal & in general just doesn't look clean at all. I will never order food from here again. Not a single person who ate the food was satisfied by the taste at all. We would've rather gone to sleep without eating if we would've known how bad it was.

This was the first time trying this place with my mom. The food was so freaking delicious definitely will recommend this place to everyone I know. The service was good as well they came out fast and kept asking if we needed anything. The atmosphere was quiet not to loud and very clean and tidy. I will definitely go again and tell my family about it as wells

I have been to the restaurant many times because the food is very good. But I've noticed that most of the customers are Latinos because even though it's Chinese food, they come from Venezuela. Today I went like 4 times and I came out desperate because the literal music sounded like H5. Music should be entertaining to customers, not restaurant owner. I was tormented by Chinese music. On the other hand, the rest needs to be neater. You feel like you're in the middle of the flea in Maracaibo. Otherwise, the food is perfect

Very good portion, it didn't take long to serve, it wasn't that crowded, ample parking, it has a variety of dishes, if I liked it it's 9 out of 10

For those who know me, you know that I hate, hate, hate giving bad reviews. there is enough negativity out there that I do not have to add to it. Plus, previous reviewers have done a good job of warning folks.But . . .Okay, so the first thing is that when I walked in, there were fries and ketchup on one of the tables. Cool, cool, cool. This could be one of those Chinese places that serves everything from breakfast to late-night grub. Mmmmm. Not really.Okay, so I ordered mushu chicken and sauteed broccoli. Both were just fine, but not all that flavorful. Food seems like "Chinese food for non-Chinese folks, which in this area seems unnecessary and a missed opportunity because there is not much in the way of Chinese food out this way. I was disappointed, to say the least.I think the worst part was that the place seemed genuinely and visibly dirty. Heading back to the bathroom may have been a mistake. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love a good hole-in-the-wall place, and I have been in my share of Chinese restaurant back areas, so the fact that this place gave me pause should tell you something.To give a single start for me means "never ever again," but in a pinch, I might come by for takeout something, but ONLY in a pinch, and I won't be going to the bathroom.

I selected this restaurant because it had 3.9 stars, but it is completely and utterly not recommended.Ordered take-out online, website said will be ready in 20 minutes. Then got notification that order will be ready in one hour.Tried to call to cancel the order, but no reply and voice message was full. called again - same result. wish I could give 0 stars for "service".So, we paid already so had to wait ... the wait did not prove worth it.We ordered 3 "meals" - one with chicken salad and Mongolian beef, one chicken cashew and chow mien, and one beef cashew with chow mien.all were very disappointing - again I wish I could leave less than one star.salad had no dressing and the chicken pieces were dry. Mongolian beef tasted mostly like soy and oil, very little hot spice. beef was stringy and not really good.Both chicken cashew and beef cashew had very little meat, both was mostly zucchini - beef had onions, chicken had celery - but very precious little meat. And they both had, unfortunately, the same bland no-flavor of generic nothingness.You will do better with getting any other Chinese food - even from a generic restaurant like panda or the such, or even from Safeway.

I ordered from Uber Eats wonton soup and chow mein with thin noddles. It was so delicious the soup came in two containers one for the broth and the other filled with plenty of wontons, shrimp, chicken and pork pieces. Along with baby bok choy and cabbage. The chow mein was combination with a equal amount of veggies and meat. I WILL RE ORDER AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
