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

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.

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!!!!!!!

My boyfriend and I went in after seeing on the menu, “Chicken corn soup for two”, and when we went inside to order the waitress was extremely rude and said, “If you’re just going to share a soup then go and get it to go.” She then proceeded to put our order as a to go and wouldn’t let us eat at the table. We ended up just leaving, and no one else was even inside the restaurant. Very weird and rude encounter.

My family and I will never go back here. It was very convenient to our hotel so we decided to try them out. We went around their lunch special times. I have a family of 5 so we all ordered from the lunch special menu and everybody’s price should have been $8.95 it included either white rice, fried rice with each meal. The food was good but when we received our bill it was $75. My husband and I asked what were the extra charges and the lady tried to say the fried rice was separate from the meal of what my kids ordered. That did not make any sense. She then said we ordered a lot of food. I stated we ordered 5 lunch specials that included rice. She also added $6.80 gratuity when we would have kindly given a tip and that was not stated on the menu either. We only had a family of 5. She also acted like we came in after 3 which is the time the lunch hours ended but we came in well before that. So yeah never again we will go there.
Unfortunate to write this review, as I used to love this place and routinely order from here when I worked at Mission (two years ago I’d rate this 4 or 5 stars). It has been probably two years since I ordered from here so not sure if the ownership changed or something. But today’s order was hands down the worst Chinese take out I’ve ever had without exaggeration. None of the three entrees had an ounce of flavor, the tofu is gelatinous mush, the “fried rice” is also just mush and undercooked, and all of the vegetables have seen better days, nearly transparent in quality.
