I came in for a small meal, looking for some french fries. They did have some! I also bought steamed pork dumplings. they were they most neatly prepared, delicious, and fufilling dumplings I've ever had. The lady at the counter was very nice, understanding, and informative. the kitchen cook courteous, very fast and made the food good. better than going to McDonald's!

I love this place and I love the food and eat here on average once a month. I follow the rules. I placed my order online way ahead of when I want to pick it up. I placed an order today before 5:00 p.m. and was told to be ready at 5:30. I arrived at 5:45 and paid for my order. I was told that it would be right out. After waiting another 15 minutes I asked for my money back.. the child at the register went to the back for 10 minutes and then came back and asked me if I wanted my food or my money back. I told her I wanted my money back so I could go home. She disappeared into the back again for 10 more minutes then came out and handed me a bag of food with no further comment. What am I supposed to do? I have always enjoyed your food but this is no way to treat your customers. If I order online you tell me it's going to take 2 hours that's fine. But don't tell me it's going to take 30 minutes when it's going to take an hour. Now I have a bag of food that I have no interest in Eating and I'm out my money.
I would like a refund for this experience.

Great atmosphere!
Good service. They got my order wrong and happily fixed it and added in a free egg roll. Their egg rolls are amazing!

I’ve been a fan of this local family restaurant for a while now and was waiting to write my review to see if they were consistent with their meals. I have to say the food is always flavorful and the variety is impressive. They definitely do try to go above or beyond expectations. Their prices, quality of food, and portions are what keeps me coming back! Be a little adventurous and try something off their Special menu.

Terrible experience. Based on many of the positive reviews, my family and I were excited to discover and support a new Asian restaurant. The gentleman at the counter who took my order had a apathetic attitude and could care less. He acted like I was wasting his time. The quality of the food is very low, and many of the items tasted frozen. The chow fun noodles were clumped together and drowning in soy sauce. The tofu was rock hard, and the vegetables were old. They were out of multiple items. The dining room was extremely hot - it did not feel like the a/c was on as the front door was propped open and there was a floor fan running, in the middle of a summer day. Suffice to say, we will not be back.

EDIT: It's been 2 years since I wrote this review and I still think back to this meal and how inhumane, vile and disgusting it was. How putrid and revolting the smell was. I think I was actually traumatized by this experience, as I have sincere food trust issues now when ordering out from take-out places.
Ordered the General Tso lunch special with Lo Mein.
I was in the area and this was the closest place. The lady who took my order told me Lo Mein was $3 extra. Okay, sure.
This is, hands down, the worst Chinese food I could imagine. The Chicken is inedible. Dry, stringy, chewy and I couldn't eat more than 1 bite. Literal mystery meat. The sauce covering it was burnt and the whole thing stinks like rotten garbage. Literally. ROTTEN GARBAGE. I just threw it in the trash. This is offensively bad.
Oh my gosh. I had the best duck I have ever had in my life! I don’t eat duck very often because it’s greasy. Not this duck. It was perfection. It was juicy, tender and not the least bit greasy. How do they do it? You must order the duck two days in advance so they can work their magic.The restaurant itself is more like a takeout Chinese restaurant devoid of any charm whatsoever. But, frankly, I couldn’t care less. Eat in or takeout, it doesn’t matter. All your senses will be focused on the duck!

Closest I've come to NY Chinese since moving to Florida. The owner is delightful!!! She knows her clients by face.Ask her about there rainbow house specials and you'll love what she suggests.
Dining area, nothing fancy a few tables if you prefer to eat in rather than take out.

Kid who takes orders needs to learn more about customer service. Lo Mien was very good though.

Everything was amazing. I’ve never been served with such kindness, the owners were generous enough to give us a free item for spending over $100 and extra of things. Showed us what the food looks like just in case we didn’t like it. Such an amazing place, gave us free HOMEMADE green tea which was delicious while we waited and the decor was so beautiful. Really amazing place I recommend. Food was phenomenal as well!!!
