Everything is amazing as always but honestly the days of inexpensive 2 person dinners are obviously over this has absolutely nothing to do with them as business owners and operators and everything to do with the state of our economy and inflation situation.

Chicken chow mein almost entirely onion. Some celery. Crunchy noodles were stale. The dish looks very pale. Disappointed because I've gotten food here before, it was good. The building had a mildewy odor when I walked in.

Lived here about 6 months. I really like the following items: chicken teriyaki, chicken and broccoli, egg rolls, crab rangoon, spare ribs.
I'm not big on fried entrees, but their unbattered entrees are solid.
Crab rangoons have crab and are not super sweet. They're a balance of savory and sweet. Eggrolls are standard cabbage filled eggrolls and I love them.
The restaurant is clean every time I go in. The service is always great. They almost always quote the right time for your order.
I see a buffet in previous photos from years ago. I've never seen one there. They also do not advertise having one currently. They don't deserve a negative review for this.
I have been a customer for years here. They have the BEST Chinese food here in Marion, and in my opinion, all of Eastern Iowa. ALL of the food is made quick, fresh, and always delicious. I don't know what these other people who give bad reviews are talking about -- they just don't know good Chinese food. Will forever be our favorite place to go!

Very nice people very nice restaurant great service. It hurts me to say this. I’ve been searching for a real authentic Chinese place since I moved here to Iowa got back to the hotel opened up my food. I ordered beef and mushrooms. There was an assortment of many other vegetables in there which I don’t mind I love vegetables, but I’m used to custom traditional beef and mushroom started with the egg roll phenomenal it was amazing that I opened up my dish and the smell was like that of a urinal or Porta potty. I kept smelling and smelling thinking I was crazy literally smelled like urine I figured , I spent money on it. Let me try it. It looks amazing. Had a red tint to it which I’m not used to. I don’t know that is what’s making the smell. I bite into it tastes like pee!!! The mushrooms Tasted like straight vegetable oil from a deep fryer, clean vegetable oil, not dirty still not a good taste breaks my heart to even write this because I was so excited I’ve eaten Chinese and of places I love Chinese food Oriental… I’m sure the other dishes are great. Well, I’m not sure. I’m just being optimistic, but damn couldn’t do. It had to throw out waste of money. Hopefully, they were just having a rough day and that dish was off, but I will never know cause I will not go back. I’ve never had food smell or taste like that like urine. I suggest you guys try your dishes before serving them. Maybe it’s been a long time since you’ve eaten your own food to blame my own pallet, but that’s not the case I’m from New York. I’ve eaten every cultural dish can think of. Best of luck to you please try your dish. It needs a big change. Maybe it’s the oil that does that I couldn’t tell you. Btw The rice was super dry chicken fried rice With no peas or carrots, which is very weird to me but hey Maybe that’s what people around here like. One more thing there is no sign directly above the store so I was driving circles for 10 minutes trying to find it seeing as I am not from here.

Nice people but food wasn’t as advertised. My wife said “Just get me something with pea pods. Only thing on the menu with pea pods was Szechwan Double Delight so I ordered it. For me I ordered Seafood Delight which claimed shrimp, scallops and crab meat. I also ordered Egg Foo Young. The Szechwan Double delight had NO snow peas. The Seafood Delight had shrimp, IMITATION crab meat and NO scallops. The egg foo young had NO bean sprouts. The food was all freshly prepared and , except for the egg foo Young, tasted okay but it’s frustrating that it wasn’t as advertised. I called and was told “We don’t have snow peas.” I said “Then why are they on your menu?” She asked if I looked at the menu on the internet. I said “No, it was the menu you handed me in the restaurant. It says snow peas.” She repeated that they have no snow peas. So, no snow peas, no scallops, no bean sprouts in the egg foo young, which wasn’t good and the sauce was not good either. I paid $16.95 for Seafood Delight, the most expensive thing on the menu because it has shrimp, scallops and crab. Of those, all I got was shrimp and imitation crab meat which is cheap. Lots of cheaper dishes had shrimp!

Just popped in for the buffet but sadly it went when they moved to their current location. But always friendly and yummy food.
good food, but the lady upfront was quite rude, and the menu online is very outdated.
