I missed the previous owners who have retired . Today, the atmosphere is stagnant, the food quality is similar however not my favorite place to go with so many changes.

The Google says dining closes 9:00pm. Then they were kicking us out at 8:45pm because they are in a hurry to go home and sleep. The dry chili chicken is not even deep fried and dry. It was sauteed with a sauce. Then they expected me to give 15% tip after kicking us out. They don't do their food right and they are rude and unprofessional. Not recommending and not even coming back here.

Egg drop soup was decent but entrees left much to be desired. Mongolian beef was lackluster at best. Egg Foo Young was rather tasteless except for the addition of multiple egg shells. Waitress wasn't particularly friendly or attentive nor did she bring our entrees out at the same time which was unusual. Possibly just an off night but I don't plan on returning.

During my recent dinner with my friend, we ordered four items. When the bill arrived, our server had already included a 15% tip without consulting us. We were surprised and a bit taken aback by this, as we were accustomed to adding our own tip based on the service received. This experience left us feeling uncomfortable, and we may need to reconsider returning to this establishment in the future.

We ordered for pick up and it was amazing.
The portion sizes are hearty and the food was really good. Egg rolls are a must! The staff were also very friendly.

Everything was great from the dining space and the meal that I enjoyed. The only thing worth mentioning that I honestly didn’t appreciate is something that has never happened to me before. My server TOLD ME the percentage of which she was going utilize to issue HER OWN TIP after receiving my payment card. I found this to be extremely rude. Was I not a good customer ? I ordered four items and said positive things about everything and didn’t cause a fuss, and ate quickly. She TIPPED HERSELF a lower amount that I was already going to issue to her in cash. But after discovering that she short sold herself and underestimated my integrity, I let her choose the lesser amount not knowing she would have gotten more. For this inconvenience, I can’t return here. I don’t like being disrespected such as this.

First time in ordering. When I ordered my food, one of the items was a sweet and sour chicken. The girl who took my order didn't ask me what size for the sweet and sour chicken. When I finally received my order, about 1 hour later, I opened up my order and found a large order of chicken. After finally going over it in my head, she never asked me! I just called the restaurant, and mentioned what happened, I was on hold for 15 minutes for someone to get back to me. Finally the girl got back on the phone and asked what she can do for me. I told her you charged me for a large sweet and sour chicken. I than told her you didn't ask me what size! This kept going back and forth for 5 minutes without going nowhere! She told me, that I have to tell her what size I want and if I don't they automatically charge customers for large orders! I would not recommend this place! They rip you off! I would of really like to order from them again, but not under these circumstances! It's a shame how you get ripped off from places! Also, it's hard to find good Chinese food! Shame on them! Poor business tactics!
Doughy pot stickers and bland MooShu Pork... not going back.
