Ordered this place from Doordash, upon digging into my meal I bit down on a piece of plastic! Have never in my life had this happen and it's disgusting a resturant would allow it. Never again will I go here and I recommend others steer clear, obviously the workers don't keep a clean and safe work area.

Disappointed. Used to be better. Stir-fry tasteless. Egg roll cooked hard. Sushi was OK though.

I have been going to this place for years since the owners were kids, and this place has consistently gone downhill over the years. The food is sometimes hit or miss. When it's a hit, the food is great, but that is not always the case. More of a miss than hit lately. After this last visit, I felt I finally needed to say something.
I live right around the corner from this place, and I'm always there when my food is coming out or just placed on the table to be picked up. I was there just this past Thursday evening, and the broccoli in the dish looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. Dull in color and no crunch. I should have taken photos because I only ordered a dish with broccoli and got majority rice.
When you order a small entree, pretty much the entire container is filled with rice, and they put a very small amount of meat and veggies on top of it. Other restaurants in the area don't do this. It seems like your prices have gone up to fill the containers with rice. I'd rather pay more for my entree somewhere else and actually get what the menu says, rather than pay for a container full of rice.
Not everyone is friendly here. If one of the owners checks you out, you get friendly service. If not, it's very dry and impersonal.
The eating area is not inviting in the least. As soon as you walk in, there are flattened boxes on the floor, leading up to the counter. I feel like I am going to slip when walking on them. Another eyesore is their overflow stock. It's everywhere.
This place used to be my go-to place for the best takeout in town. I can't say that anymore.

My girlfriend and I have ordered from this hidden gem at least 20 times! 😂

Hands down some of the best seafood fried rice! My gf gets the house fried rice and it’s consistently good!

Also, they have this hot oil that is to die for! It’s authentic and has a proper kick to it!

5/5 isn’t enough! This is place is a hidden gem! Two meals with leftovers for under $30!

I had the best steamed dumplings I’ve ever had in my life today! And customer service in the restaurant was top notch and very kind. Will be coming back when I’m in the area fosho.

I've ordered from here at least six times in the past 3 months and every time has been decently good except for this time I ordered boneless spare ribs tips and the sauce was completely loaded with sugar I couldn't even eat the food.
As I'm moving the sauce around with my spoon you can feel the thickness and the sugar grains sounds like there is sand in it.
As you can see by the picture all the crystallized sugar in it. I normally would still eat it but I could not eat this food.
I've never experienced this from any Chinese food place ever and this will be my last time I eat here. I wasn't expected to get a sugar rush from ribs.
I had to order from somewhere else.

I order from here a few times a month (through Doordash) and I am never disappointed. This is by far the best fried rice and lo mein I've had since moving to Florida. My food always arrives hot and complete. I never have to request extra sauces or utensils, the bag and containers are always neat and closed properly.
The spicy chicken roll is my favorite and I order it every single time. Everything I have ordered from here has been full of flavor and always exceeds my expectations for take away food.
If anyone thinks this place is pricey... think again, I just spent $42 here and have enough food to feed me and my boyfriend at least 3 meals each, plus dessert because I can't resist getting the donuts.
This is my comfort food and I appreciate the dedication to service, quality, and flavor.

Ordered today at 10pm, mind you they close at 10:30pm it was still 30 min before closing. Got a wrong order delivered to me and called them 6 times before they closed, no one picked up. I also tried texting them but got totally ignored. Really disappointed because I am a regular customer.

It's been a while since we ordered here and I am completely disappointed. Burnt dumplings, burnt wing pieces and burnt spring rolls. Horrible experience.

Probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The general tso was terrible, pretty sure it barely contained chicken as the pieces were almost all completely batter. And the sauce it was covered in was like a sweet syrup. The lomein wasn’t any better, the noodles were overcooked and soft and way too sweet. The presentation was awful, just terrible quality. I don’t know, but I’ll never be back. Just go to McDonald’s.
