I got chicken and mixed vegetables and the big Bertha egg roll. Everything was very tasty and it was a nice bar with a very neat atmosphere

The dumplings were good. I got a noodle dish (can't remember the name, but has a white sauce) and it was unfortunately bland & the noodles (see picture #2 the noodles are the long disc shaped things) were very chewy and not what I was expecting (I love wide noodles but these were chewy and not flavorful). My husband got a dish with peanuts on it and it was pretty good! (It was my birthday so we traded food and he also didn't like my dish). Asian food is my favorite, but probably won't be back just because my dish was not very good. I had high expectations and wanted to come here for some time. It was my birthday too, I was just disappointed. I would get the dumplings again though!

We went in on January 25th 2025 Two couples. Ordered a spice level 3 and a spice level 2 meal. The level 3 was at a perfect level. The level 2 cashew chicken was very very much hotter than the level 3 The server after a little discussion agreed to have it re-made. Then the person who assumed was the Manager came over and informed us that as the server explained when we ordered the restaurant has a ‘no send back policy’ (this was never told to us at ordering’. We therefore had to pay for an additional meal. Will never return there to dine

We ordered two entries. Mongolian beef and pepper steak. The service was wonderful.:) we ordered carry out. The good was flavorful for the first 2 bites but then became incredibly salty. Too salty to finish. Will try again, but was disappointed.

The reviews on this place are amazing. It offers a beautiful atmosphere and very fresh food. That being said.....
On Christmas Day my family has a tradition of wearing PJs all day and ordering Chinese. We chose this restaurant based on the wonderful reviews, so we ordered and I happily went in to pick up our Christmas dinner in my pajamas.
The restaurant was packed, standing room only. I didn't know where to go for my carry out, so I kept walking until I hit the end of the bar. A very friendly server let me know Carry out was located in the back. So off I went and found the carry out section in the back. The cashier was very friendly and even gave me a great pair of chopsticks for Christmas. Our food was ready to go and nice and hot.
We get home and dive into our meal. Now I ordered an egg roll along with the beef and broccoli with fried rice. My chosen heat level, based on reviews, was a 3.
I started with my pork egg roll and found it disappointing. It was soggy, bland and inedible.
Then I opened the fried rice and dishes it out. Fried rice??? It ended up being dried out brown rice with what I assume to be lumps of mashed potatoes. Ok then, moving on.
Upon opening the beef and broccoli, I found it nice and hot with plenty of brown sauce. It contained water chestnuts and a plethora of other vegetables. Oh yes!!! It also contained 2 whole pieces of broccoli. Hmmm....... It did have plenty of beef, so I dove right in.
Now level 3 heat isn't really supposed to be hot, based on reviews of course. However, upon the first bite entering my mouth..... The reviews lied!!
My tongue quickly felt the heat of spice and my lips shortly became chapped. I couldn't distinguish any other factor, no flavor at all. Just spicy heat.
My husband's naked chicken dish with fried rice and egg roll were exactly the same. A soggy lump of an egg roll and spicy hot, level 3, chicken with dried up brown rice.
Now based on how popular this restaurant is and how fresh the vegetables and meat were, I'm thinking this wasn't a normal experience with their food.
A lot of Chinese restaurants are packed on Christmas Day, so I do understand if the food isn't at its absolute best. They have to crank out an unimaginable amount of food every year on this one day. That being said, I do think if they had slowed down just a little our food may have been what we expected.
So I'm still in search of the best Chinese food Covington can offer.

I ordered takeout and picked up my meal. I then went home and they forgot the rice. Not that big of a deal I called and they said come in and pick up the rice. I go in and wait 10 minutes and have to restrain myself from yelling at the server or whoever for just refusing to go grab me the rice that I paid for and even initially tipped!!!!! Then they didn't care about how disrespected I felt for having to waste 20+ minutes of my life for some stupid fried rice!!!

Spicy but tasty. This restaurant offers a great experience with an amazing atmosphere! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive! The food does have a spice levels that you can tailor per order! They do it by a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the spiciest! Will definitely return but lower the spice levels on my order haha!

Got the lunch special lo mein with beef spice level 2, it was very tasty except they put half a onion in there when I asked for light onions ... had to pick most of them out. I usually get imperial beef stew and egg roll which is the best they have :)
Was recommended by a local as a very good place to eat. Love Chinese food so was excited to try a new place in Covington Kentucky. Order takeout in the back of the restaurant was easy and quick food took about 10 to 15 minutes. Ordered General‘s chicken and pork eggroll and crab Rangoon. First impressions this is not normal Chinese food coming from the New York area. The egg roll was just made differently. Did not have the normal eggroll taste. The crab Rangoon were just OK mostly tasted cream cheese. The general’s chicken I would not order again did not have the normal general’s chicken taste, and also included pickles for some reason which did not add a good flavor to it. And the small container of fried rice was just plain fried rice, maybe with soy sauce. Overall, I would not recommend this place just for my order and I would not rush to go back.. Maybe this is just a local place that they rave about.
