Ordered to go. I ordered pork chow mein and when I opened the container I found 2 specks of pork and HUGE pappardelle noodles. Nowhere in the world used enormous egg noodles in chow mein. The wonton soup tasted like chemicals. Terrible food

Dietary restrictions: I expected rice noodles and instead got noodles used in Italian dishes

Hire more than one cook on a Friday night. Waiting over an hour for food is wild. Tried to save time and make the night easier by ordering some Chinese - made everything more difficult instead ordering here.

Very good lunch! We initially were the only diners although there were a few Door Dash and/or Uber pickups.
I only gave 3 stars due to the atmosphere. Half of the space was used for storage, with boxes stacked everywhere. There were also tables with stacked chairs on top throughout the dining space? This wasn't welcoming at all and felt strange.

Ordered dinner on 1/26/25 and it was delivered while I was in the shower. Communicated this with the driver and it was left at my door. When I checked my card statement I see that I was charged $5 more than I should have been. Upon calling the restaurant I find out that the driver had signed my name on the receipt and gave themselves a $5 tip. The restaurant said they had to "investigate" but that they had a receipt "showing me one thing but you're (me) telling us another." The food itself wasn't that good and when considered with the forged receipt and stolen tip I would never order from this restaurant again and I encourage everyone reading this mor to give them business.

DONT EAT HERE. I SPENT $35 on Food and they shorted me on everything. I ordered 6 wings and only got 4. My spare ribs were so brunt you can’t even chew them. I called for them to remake. I didn’t even want a refund. The owner yelled I recorded him and it will be on my TikTok. 0/10

Not good. Have had positive experiences in the past, this was not one. I ordered delivery. My tab was approximately $16 when I checked out. When the driver showed up, it had somehow jumped to $22. I had to go back into my house to find more $$ to make sure the driver got a good tip. The sweet and sour chicken was cold and slimy, and not enough sauce. Eggroll was cold, and I didn't get my soy sauce nor mustard nor duck sauce. I don't typically write reviews, but just a heads up when considering frequenting this establishment.

Best Asian food in Asheville! They always accommodate vegetarians like me with tasty and unique plant based items that are not so easy to find. I don't know anyone else that offers Cantonese and Hunan in Asheville. Fresh ingredients, great service, clean, and always a lovely helpful staff. So happy they do home delivery. Great to see the dining room reopened. We have gone here for years. Always a pleasure.

The lady on the phone got my order wrong. Didn’t try to fix it then tried to get me to pay for the meal I wanted after I paid $33 for the wrong thing!

I am writing this only because there are so many negative reviews for a place I and two friends very much enjoy eating at once a week for lunch. I have no answer to those negating this restaurant which has for several years won the "Best of Asheville" Chinese restaurant award. They have same problems many post Covid restaurants with short staffing but the quality is soo amazingly good. No MSG and all original recipes at very reasonable prices. From observation, I think they do about 20 times more take out and pick up like Uber etc. Please give this place a try if you're hungry for oriental food. I have tried over the years most of their lunch offerings and some dinner portions as well with zero regrets. The owner, Susa, is often the waitress and she stays busy between answering calls and taking orders.

Delivery is affordable. If you like greens, check out the Sautéed Chinese mixed greens. So good. I love these guys.

I ordered a Mongolian beef and was super disappointed because when I started eating it I realized that it tasted like fish (I hate seafood) but I didn't tell my husband because I was starving so I put sriracha on it so as not to waste it and after a little while my husband started eating it and the first thing he said to me was that it tastes like fish!!!!!! Lastly, their fortune cookies were old and had no message. Not ordering that ever again!!!!!!!
