The worst restaurant in Amherst.
The food was extremely greasy and tasted awful.
The dumplings were barely warm — some parts were still cold, like they had just been taken out of the freezer and reheated.
And without any explanation, they automatically added a 20% tip on the bill.

Loved the food quality. At night it can be a full house . Definitely recommend during daytime for dinning in. Overall excellent food and hospitality.

I need to edit my review after I became violently ill. I noticed my rice was extremely oily on the bottom 2 to 3 inches. I avoided eating that low into the container, however that was not enough. I ended up throwing up the rice and there was a thick layer of oil on top of it! I also had the pleasure of liquid coming out the other end at the same time. Sorry for being graphic but people need to be warned! Will NOT be ordering from here again!

Food was bad, I saw the server maybe 3 times while I was seating, one to take my order the other when I call with over for more water the las when he bought my check over, it was a table for two and when they bought my check over they were demanding a %20 tip on the actual bill with the %20 being on the bill it self with the total included

I ordered 3 apps through door dash. The food being cold could have been more of a driver issue, but they may not have a hot rack either. Idk. Most of the items were ok-nothing that really stood out as anything more than take out chinese. Nothing special. but the crab Rangoon wasn’t very good at all. The flavor was different. There was barely any filling and there was some kind of bell pepper in there that I wasn’t expecting and wasn’t listed- I don’t eat them- so I couldn’t eat this. I tried the restaurant. Didn’t like it. Kind of a bummer.

The food was so spicy that I politely asked for more water, but I ended up having to request it again after 5 minutes. And it was very unpleasant to see him serving while wearing a mask.

3 of us ate yesterday. Just a few dishes. They included the tip 18% on to the bill themselves.
Then after I paid the server expected more tip.
I think this is dishonest to include tip onto the bill
For 3 people. Please recheck your bill when paying
I always pay tip usually 20 percent. But when restaurants add it on themselves for only 3 people
I think it’s dishonesty!!!!

Average food served quickly by a very attentive server. We were there during off peak times. My son has raved about their food but I thought it was above average at best and nothing out of the ordinary. I had the shrimp with broccoli

Went here for my birthday and had a terrific experience. I wrote in advance to request their whole Sichuan Smoked Tea Roast Duck, and this was a unique and delectable dining experience. Started off with the beef stuffed scallion pancake wrap, and also had the side of Broccoli with Garlic Sauce. Fresh ingredients cooked with love and attention. They had Mondavi wine and a mango and lychee beer which were a delight to drink.

I had been looking forward to this dinner for over four months, and they delivered. Consistent water refills, spacious restaurant with plenty of seats, and they did get busy around 7 pm on a Wednesday night. This is a great venue for a sit down meal for a special treat.

Kid-friendliness: They had high chairs for children and the waitress was charming and personable for the families sitting around me.

What self respecting Chinese food establishment would use spaghetti noodles for their Dan Dan? Seriously? Cmon…

I've been here 6 times, and the only complaint I could summon was I didn't care for their ginger soy sauce for dipping with dumplings.

Everything else I've eaten, whether take-out or dine-in is always great.

$10 for a lunch special with soup, $13 for a dinner portion. I'm in heaven every time I walk through the door. The quality and the consistency in which it is delivered is amazing.
