My husband and mother in law, enjoy dining here. I don’t find it enticing.

I eat this food all the time. Me and my family have been going there since before I can even remember. It's a generational thing, and I order at least once a month. Recently, I haven't been getting the most consistent food.But today I ordered in this food is disgusting.It was a complete waste of fifteen dollars.I'm not sure if it was refried or sitting there.I understand the restaurant had no one in there and it wasn't a busy day, but I thought I would get fresh food just because there was less people to serve.

Sad to say that I’ve been coming to great taste for the past 10-12years and this is what it’s come down to. First of all let me start by saying for whatever reason when you go to pick up your food and don’t leave a tip, if there is a lady working she gives you the dirtiest look and will go into the kitchen momentarily and start speaking in their native language… not sure if they understand the fact that you are picking up your own food that doesn’t require a tip, maybe would be different if it was curbside pick up but seems like all the workers there are just looking for that tip which wasn’t like that before, especially when the older gentlemen would great you by the door he was the best! Always a smile and wished you a great day. Secondly I always order the same boneless spare rib with rice and for my wife general tso chicken with the lo mein combo, the noodles were the consistency of a rubber band, and much darker in color than normal which indicates they are using the same oil over and over to cook, the ribs were OK, the general chicken was very chewy… more chewy than normal. Only real good thing about the meal was the rice. We also ordered crab Rangoon, now before I even get into it let me start off by saying everyone understand this days economy and everything has gone up, but the amount they charge for 6 crab Rangoon you would think they come DECENTLY stuffed!? Well you’re wrong! Idk if it was a bad batch but there was literally BARLEY ANY stuffing in there it felt more like I was eating a friend dough than crab Rangoon. I hate to say but this is not the same great taste it was 10years ago. Maybe eating in they give you better, fresher food but for take out I don’t recommend for the simple fact that the past 10times we’ve gotten take out each time disappointed between the staff looking at you funny because you don’t tip on a pickup order to the food being below average.

I gave 4 stars bc it used to be delicious no matter what day of the week. But now its starting to get hit or miss. My family came in from out of town recently and we ordered a big takeout and most of it was kind of blah. Im happy though that the steamed dumplings and especially the sauce is still the same-- so yummy!! Please get it together GT and make sure your quality is consistent!

I Stopped in today around 12:00 for a pint of Pork Fried Rice. I judge Chinese Restaurants by the quality of their rice. I ordered it and was surprised when I got it in two minutes. That means that it is pre-made. Not to order. The rice was luke warm and was nothing special. No bean sprouts, grayish egg and a couple of peas. The sad part is that I had explosive diarrhea within 45 minutes. I won't be going back there again

Always excellent. The menu has all the traditional favorites and many unique dishes. I have experienced many seafood dishes and have never been disappointed. The full bar is very nice. The owner Frank is always visible to be sure you have a positive dining experience.

Was there for a wedding rehersal dinner. Staff was incredibly attentive without hovering or being in the way; an impressive feat! The food was served family style(I think its called), and the serving dishes were never empty! Ive ordered take out from here a bunch of times but never ate inside, much less thought of holding any kind of event here. I will be keeping them in mind for our upcoming aniversary!

The food was outstanding—every dish was flavorful and freshly made. The dumplings were perfectly steamed, the General Tso’s chicken had just the right balance of sweet and spicy, and the fried rice was some of the best I’ve ever had. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in their cooking.

I’ve been coming hear for years, in the early days this food was amazing everything was fresh nothing was overcooked but recently the raccoon is filled with more cream cheese than flavor, the beef sticks and the chicken wings look like they’ve been overcooked 10 times over. And I’m not basing this review on a one time this is how I feel over the past 12 months I’ve given them many many chances.
