The food was ok for the price point. They could improve on their costumer service.

If this is not the worst Chinese food anywhere in the area, I cannot imagine what is…I would have offered up zero stars across the board if possible. Small, cramped, not clean looking. Zero “atmosphere”. Rice tastes like it’s a week old or maybe steamed in dishwater. Overcooked, over-salted ribs - in fact, everything was over-salted. Tough meat. Soggy, greasy spring rolls that were virtually flavorless. And it goes on and on. Just a big waste of money. Do yourself a favor, skip it.

Very good Chinese food here…. I order many things, but the one that stands out the most is string bean garlic sauce (pork).

The food was great and so was the service, my main issue was the atmosphere, there wasn't a lot inside and didn't feel as welcoming compared to other restaurants I've seen and been to. The price is a bit steep but the quality makes up for it. Wouldn't recommend going there by yourself, bring a friend especially if your dining in. If your taking out, avoid common times for lunch in dinner, once had my food delayed 10 minutes. Also, there aren't a lot of seats partly due to lack of space, so if you want to hold a party, don't even bother trying to done in, just get take out and it shouldn't take too long for them to get the order prepared unless it's 1-1:30 or 6-7, those are the common times for delay from what I've experienced. If your wondering how much you can expect to spend, it should be around 12-18 dollars per person I would say. Look at their menu and prices online if your concerned. Overall, good place, great food, nice staff, can do better on interior.

We've lived in Norwalk for years and not found Chinese food we enjoy, until now. Every single menu item has been a hit, customer service wonderful and food ready on a timely manner. 10/10 will come back.

THINK TWICE before spending here.

Not exactly sure why, especially being a minority-owned business itself, but this establishment made me feel so bad, embarrassed, and with an overall bad taste in mouth. I ordered PLATTERS of food with them ($200+), and this day was no different. Previous times including the last order, I use my card over the phone. This time, however, I came to use my card and the said I needed ID. This was never the case before then she tried to make up a false story, which at that point I was over, and I just took the food and left. It also wasn’t as good as previous times and missing some items.

We should treat everyone equally and also maintain standards across the board, especially food quality. I would stay far away if I were you.

This take out spot has great food! Just beware that they won't let one person pay over the phone and another to pick it up due to people stealing others food apparently.
