Ordered Kung Pao Shrimp and it was very bland and had zero spice

Never had a chance to eat there but very rude service. I asked if the restaurant provides delivery. Instead, the lady owner yelled in my face saying, "You are too far!, We don't deliver!" Then, she decided my business was not worth it and turned her back on me and started handling other customers.

Didn’t enjoy the food. They give you plenty but found it lacked taste

They are never correct when estimating how long an order would take. Told me 5 mins on the phone but by the time I got there (more than 5 mins) wasn’t ready and I had to wait another 10 mins. This has happened multiple times and the food is okay, but not great enough to warrant the extra time.

This place is horrible. Staff are so mean and food is not cooked fully. I don’t know how they are allowed to stay open

The women at the front desk were very rude. They are Asian and when they saw my Asian face, they didn't even say hello. When the white people came in after me, they greeted them enthusiastically. This kind of differential treatment made me feel very uncomfortable.

Americanized Chinese “food” - way too sweet and oily. Would have given it an extra star but the server/hostess was rude. If you want anything more authentic and tasty, go to the Chinese restaurant a few doors down. Heck, go to 99 Ranch.. at least there’s real Chinese food there.

Very involved staff and good food. It’s pricier than regular Chinese food but the portions are larger and the atmosphere is nicer as well! Great for a big group.

My go to for the best chinese food in bergen County. Food is always on point and the service is fast. It's a small place, so sometimes they are packed, so it can be a wait.

Great ribs. Request the house mustard and duck sauce to avoid the packs of sauce.

Placed a dinner order for pickup. Hong Kong was closed so was trying this place out since I've heard good things, considered making this a regular if they were better. Nope. Got a call that they were out of Chow Fun. Very disappointing. Ordered shrimp with lobster sauce and pork fried rice, as well as a large Wonton and Egg Drop Soup Mix and Beef Lo Mein. Mistake.

The soup and the shrimp with lobster sauce, as well as the pork fried rice tasted HORRIBLE and it was like they completely forgot to even use any salt whatsoever. I've never in my life had to add salt to Chinese food before in any state I lived in. Absolutely shocking. The soup not only didn't have any salt, but it just tasted bad, the wontons were disgusting and TINY. I've never gotten such tiny wontons before, they were half the size you get anywhere else. The only thing that actually tastes good was the Lo Mein.

Meanwhile 20 minutes after eating, my stomach started hurting very badly, and you can imagine the rest. NEVER AGAIN.
