My wife and I stopped here because it was close to somewhere we needed to be. The owners were exceptionally nice and very attentive. The food was freshly prepared and hot when it was served. We enjoyed the food and there was more than enough to eat.

Nice homey feel to the inside. The staff was very friendly and professional! The food is amazing! The sweet and sour chicken is my favorite but their fried rice and lo mein is a close second. Really just a preference. I love how this place still uses Lo mein noodles for their lo mein, I've been to some places that use regular spaghetti noodles and the flavor/texture is just not the same as when you use real lo mein noodles. Will continue to eat here!

A modest GEM across from campus that has the best secret in authentic Cantonese cooking in town. Tasting is believing. Love their tofu, eggplant, beef with potatoes etc. more to try….

I ordered the Beef Ho Fen, Spicy Fish Fillets, and the Stirred Fried Beef with Special Chili Sauce & Cilantro. They are all tasty. Beef Ho Fen is a Cantonese rice noodle. I would recommend the Spicy Fish Fillets, the fish is soft and crispy. People like me who can't eat spicy can also order mild spicy.

The amount of food is insane. I could barely finish one plate. The owner has renovated the restaurant, the atmosphere is modern and clean. The staff was really nice. She asked me to try the Hainan rice, which is yellow rice but they add ginger when cooking it. This was my first time having Hainan rice and I will probably order a Hainan chicken next time. They also sell homemade lemon tea. It's made of Thai tea which makes it look like orange juice, but it tastes great. The staff said that they added sugar instead of saccharin to the lemon tea.

Not long after I came to NCSU, I searched for this restaurant and ordered a dry-fried beef river. It has a Cantonese flavor. I can eat authentic Cantonese food here. I am very satisfied. I will try the Hainan chicken rice next time. There is also Sichuan food. I saw the menu. There are Chongqing spicy chicken and Sichuan dandan noodles. The owner said that many people like to eat them and look forward to trying them next time?
