Kinda sad that the dine in section is still closed from Covid. However, the food and service for carrying out or pickup was great.

Pls note: TAKE OUT ONLY, NO DINE IN.
Our food, although not super authentic was for the most part, very good.
It seems that the menu is a mixture of creativity, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese components.
Do not go expecting Chinese food that you have eaten elsewhere... This version has its own spin.
The best of our dinner was the Egg Foo Yung...in St. Louis, the patties are similar, but the gravy is very different. Usually, the gravy is dark, rich, and smothers the egg patties. This version of sauce is light, has a curry taste, and is a perfect sauce to the foo yung. It was served on the side.
The beef lo mein was delicious, and the beef slices were tender and very tasty. The cashew chicken was interesting. It was a deep-fried chicken patty that was chopped into pieces, covered in a "Springfield" sauce and just a few pieces of toasted cashews.
My favorite is the Walnut shrimp, fried shrimp, w/chunks of pineapple, and a light mayonnaise type sauce.
All in all, a solid B dinner, we'll be back again soon.

We ordered the Shrimp Tempura as an appetizer and only got 2 pieces of shrimp. The rest was vegetables. We asked the waitress about it and she rudely said it only comes with two. We will never eat here again.0

I give no stars. This restaurant has gone down hill. We ordered two items from dinner menu. The shrimp was so overcooked in my brocolli stir fry that it was chewy. The rice that is supposed to have peas and carrots in it???? I couldn't even find a P! My husband's chicken chow mein was inedible because of the saltiness. We also ordered 2 egg rolls and an order of crab Rangoon for the low price of $42.00. The portions were really child size portions, certainly not dinner size. Such a disappointment, as this was one of our favorite restaurants! WAS!!

This is our favorite Chinese place at the lake (takeout only). Watch out for the lady guarding the door ?. The general chicken is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet.

Delicious! Our first time trying their restaurant, and everything thing on my plate was delicious. 10/10 for sure. Can’t wait to come back. Our server/owner was Nancy. She is such a sweet giving woman. Very hospitable and expedient. She made sure we had plenty to eat and was always refilling our drinks.
