Open only Thursday and Fridays. i ordered food to go. I got the Chow Mein with Fried rice and an egg roll.
The celery in the chow mein was bitter and the chicken was sparse and pre-cooked and kept warm. the egg roll was very dry and greasy.
this is my third try at this restaurant, we need a good Asian Restaurant in the Helena area, but this isn’t it.
This is take out only. The food is authentic and delicious. The owners are very friendly. Cash only. Call ahead to order, they are busy.
I would like to give a review on their food, but they are never open. Even when they say they're open online. I've tried multiple times to visit this place, driven to the restaurant, only to find out that they're not open. Apparently they don't need your business.
To me, leaving a negative review is a difficult decision. On one hand I want to let people know of my experience, but on the other hand I feel for small family owned businesses especially in the service industry. That being said; I took 4 of my employees here after working in town. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken (without peanuts), egg rolls, the boneless fried chicken, fried shrimp, and the beef and broccoli. To say the food was some of the worst we’ve ever had is not an exaggeration. The kung pao had peanuts, and the sauce def was not kung pao sauce. The chicken was precooked and cold and some of the toughest meat I’ve ever had. The Fried chicken was raw and the batter wasn’t even cooked all the way through. The sweet and sour dipping sauce must have been out of a packet and sitting under a heat lamp for a while. It was basically a piece of jello. The fried rice had diced pork that was like eating dried pork. You could tell the rice had been reheated and wasn’t made that day. We could only eat one bite of the egg rolls. They were soggy and reheated at best. The Beef and Broccoli had stewed tomatoes and tasted more like sautéed beef tips. This was by far the best dish of the lot. And that’s not saying much. The beers we ordered were so warm one of my guys resorted to using a glass of ice to cool it down. To top it off, when I got the bill to pay it with our company card, we were informed they only took cash. No signs anywhere. No notification of any kind. I had to walk down to a bar and get cash out of an ATM to pay the bill. The best part of the meal was the store bought ice cream that came with the meal for dessert. I feel for this place and the owner. But c’mon. Take some pride in your food.
Went with with some friends, every meal was terrible. I’ve never had worse food. And to top it off they bring the $100+ bill and the waitress tells us they don’t accept cards only cash. I would not eat there!
Have been going to them for years! Always great food and fun staff.

Absolutely NO flavor. We called and were told it was because it was a big order????? We are so disappointed. Will not eat there again! 70 bucks in the garbage!

I love this gem. If you can get in on a day that it is actually open you are in for a treat. Unfortunately recently it has not been open on it’s posted hours of operation. It’s a little drive if you’re planning to dine from outside the East Helena Area. My suggestion is if you happen to have a friend that lives in the area have them check for you. This restaurant is so good that you can rarely get a call through! I again say I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!

If you like LOTS of celery this is your kind of place. Subpar food at best. Tried it twice. Not a third time!

The food is great, when you can get. Third time recently we drive out there only to find out they are closed. Their hours are so limited anyway that surprise closures are a real disappointment. GGRRR. It would be nice if they could post this somewhere or something.
Do not order from here. Our takeout order which was 2 orders of chicken came completely raw, it was seared on the outside that’s it. I’ve never felt so grossed out in my life. They insured us a full refund and I will be reporting this to the board of health.
