service was great no complaint there, & i dont really complain anyways. but man… the food just was not good. the sesame chicken was like sweet and sour chicken with sesame seeds ?? rice had no flavor, the atmosphere was just old and depressing, & the smell of the place was so weird i should have walked out then… the house made duck sauce sucked, the egg rolls had shrimp in them (i should have read the menu more) but who puts shrimp in eggrolls ?? theres absolutely no good chinese food in this town. youll be disappointed coming here. youre better off going to the nasty MSG filled buffet down the street

This used to be a great place to eat. Over the years it’s gone downhill. The inside doesn’t even look like a Chinese restaurant anymore. The wait for service is absurd, there’s MAYBE one waitress for the place. Went last night and the lady waiting on us never cleared the appetizers plates, didn’t bring silverware til I asked. Really disappointed in how it’s gone so slum. The Chinese buffet down a few blocks is way better and my new go to is Johns Wok N Roll in Independence. At least the Wong family have kept their integrity in food.

Everything is made to order . Our food is always hot and fresh . By far the best Chinese food we’ve ever had , I won’t even go to another restaurant . Jessica and christina (waitresses) also provide excellent service and I would highly recommend:)

Wow! First, I would like to say that I am NOT the person to leave reviews, however, this must be addressed. I cannot even to begin to describe how HORRIBLE the service is at this place! I went in and stood at the counter waiting to be seated for several minutes and no one was to be seen. I could hear someone rumbling around in a room behind the counter. After several minutes, I called out “Good Afternoon.” Still no one. Finally, a lady emerged and asked if I needed to order. I then stated “No. I would like a table please.” She said “Ok, give me a minute.” At this time, a gentleman entered and she then began having a non-work related conversation with him asking if he was able to get what he needed out of her car, what he was doing, etc. He then told her that while he was there he was going to get an order. She continued the conversation and finally said “Hang on and let me get her seated.” As she was walking me to my table, I could tell that there were exactly two other tables occupied in the entire restaurant. One was a table of three and the other was a table of two. So, not busy. As she was showing me my table she handed me my menu (before I ever sat down- but not a problem) and asked what she could get me to drink. I told her and she left. She never returned. I sat for just over 20 minutes waiting for her to return. The couple sitting across from me kept saying to each other “I really wish she would come through because I need a refill” and “I wonder if she is coming back” and ‘“We need to go. I wish she would bring the check.” Again, the restaurant had exactly 6 total patrons at 3 tables. So being busy was definitely not an excuse. Just very poor service! I finally got up and began walking toward the door. She was engaged in conversation with the same man that came in for personal matters when I was leaving. She saw me walking out and said “Oh! I forgot! I am sorry!” I said “Ok. Please go check on the other table too as they are ready to leave.”

I hadn’t dined in for quite a while, usually ordering to go. We decided to dine in, and I ordered a regular war wonton soup. I removed two wontons and ate two spoonfuls before mistakenly spilling the hot soup mostly in my lap and some on the table. The waitress came over with a towel to clean the table, but she never asked if I was okay, knowing it was hot. My BIGGEST COMPLAINT/issue is that she never offered to give me another soup. I would have been okay with just the broth because I had the wontons on a saucer. She didn’t have any issue charging me for it. I know replacing the soup minus the wontons wouldn’t have been a big loss to the restaurant. What has happened to customer service?

For me as a Chinese, your food is terrible. There is no such food in China. I will not come again.

This used to be an amazing place for Chinese food but now…not so much. Service is not good and waitstaff attitude is like you are putting them out, possibly because there is not enough staff. Food is usually good but can be hit or miss flavor wise. Servings get smaller, especially lunch menu, although prices keep going up, and if you want white meat chicken then it’s even more. So sad because this is the only real non-buffet in the area.

This place was a recommendation to us. When we walked in, we should have known to walk right out. We decided to just give it a chance. Plates are small, meat looked like... well, ya know. Flower soup is their version of egg drop. ABSOLUTELY, no flavor- straight water with egg color. Food portions are small. Not worth the money at all. Service was good-

Just don't do it to yourselves!
