I was told by a customer of theirs that they had the best food around. There was no condiments at the table had to ask for everything specifically. The lamb was over cooked. Food seemed like it was warmed up and not freshly cooked. Very small amount of food for the price.

I hate having a feeling that a restaurant took advantage of me. I have that feeling about this place more than at any other restaurant I’ve eaten at in a very long time. I am extremely disappointed in the order I received for takeout yesterday. Three lunch specials consisting of pork lo mein, sweet and sour chicken and beef with broccoli along with a pupu platter for two cost $75. The pupu platter alone was $31. The portion sizes were insulting! I mean seriously insulting! Each lunch special was $12.50 and it was the smallest portion I have received from any of the Chinese restaurants in the area. The lunch specials came with a choice of soup. I chose the wonton soup. It was so salt it could not be eaten. I have a tendency to like more salt than other people. If I say the soup was so salt it could not be eaten, it was bad. It was literally like containers of seawater with wontons submerged in it. The only flavor was salt. I think they used so much salt in the soup that they ran out to season anything else. The lo mein was blah and needed soy sauce added to give it any flavor. The sweet and sour chicken nothing special. I liked that they added pieces of pineapple, cherries and onions to it. You don’t see that very often anymore from other restaurants. That’s how I always remember it as a kid. The beef and broccoli was not terrible. I didn’t have to add any any seasoning to the but the portion size was so incredibly small. I’m very picky about egg rolls. I usually like them or hate them, depending on the restaurant. These had zero flavor so I couldn’t say if I liked them or not. I couldn’t understand how what I was eating had no flavor. Thankfully I had some duck sauce to dip it in. The BBQ spareribs were very thin and dry. Many pieces were like jerky. The beef teriyaki had good flavor but was tough and a small portion. The vegetable rice didn’t have much flavor and needed soy sauce added to be edible. The chicken wings were a close second to the soup as being the most disgusting part of the order. Absolutely no flavor. I don’t think they were marinated in anything. I did have travel time back home where the texture quality could have deteriorated but they were an absolute soggy mess like they had been cooked in the oven on low heat or fried in oil not hot enough. They were not good. I will never go back to this restaurant again and I suggest you stay away from it too.

I had read a few reviews that this was a great place. To my pleasant surprise, I happened upon it one night and decided to give it a try. It was everything I hoped it would be - nice dining area with cool a/c, friendly service, and the food was absolutely incredible! I had the Hunan Beef and it was the kind of Chinese you always hope you will find, but seldom do. The sauce was scrape-your-plate tasty, a perfect amount of heat, and the vegetables were crisp and fresh. Even the wontons were delicious! I will be back...many, many times.

We recently had a family celebration (15 people) and ordered a large amount of food, with delivery. The food was delicious! The delivery was prompt and the service was excellent.

We ordered the Crab Rangoon and Chicken LoMein. The Crab Rangoon's were sweet and gritty and not anything I have ever had!?‍?The Chicken LoMein was tasteless with one exception the oil! Our first time ordered here and won't be ordering here again! Way over priced compared to everywhere else.

I didn’t really like the food here. I got the basics ( chow mein, fried rice , hot and sour soup) and the only thing I liked is the fried rice. The chow mein was watery and not much flavor. Hot and sour soup was neither hot or sour. I am confused of the high rating of this restaurant.
