We had a party of 12 and our server Owen was super attentive and helped us celebrate the birthdays in the group! Food was delicious!

We wanted to try this place after reading several positive reviews. First off, I'm not a fan of the counter ordering and the "slider bar" tip entry screen that decides to close before I could actually set the amount I wanted. Those are nits. The cashier didn't enter one of the dishes I asked for - we decided to skip it rather than revisit the front counter. The food wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The two dishes we ate (Ma Poa Tofu and Szechuan Noodles) were drowning in heavy sauces. The individual ingredients were fine but the dishes were not very good because of the overpowering sauces. We are not likely to return since there are several places nearby with better food for similar prices.

I really wanted to like this place. Don't get me wrong the food is good but the staff are hit or miss.. some staff are super nice and helpful then there's others that are rude and act like you're inconveniencing them.. also once you walk in you have to place your order and pay at the register right away before you go sit down.

Delicious food overall, the spring rolls were bomb. Loved the crab rangoons. The dipping sauce for both was interesting because it was like a sweet ginger, so that was a delicious combination. My wife had the Mongolian Tofu and really enjoyed it. The side of noodles was really good as well. I had the spicy chicken and it was good, but not as flavorful as the rest of the food. Would definitely go again though, especially as they become more established!

Warm reception and instructions on there ordering process for this first time visit. Very busy night but received quick and friendly service. Loved the mango sake. Great beef pho and very ginger chicken. Nice decor and art in this small lively dining room.

This was my first time getting food from here. It was so busy there was nowhere to park. I ordered food inside to go. The food was all hot and delicious. I had the spring rolls, crab rangoons, and shrimp lomain. The housemade dipping sauce is very tasty. The young man working at the front register was very busy and took my order with ease and was very polite. I will be back to try more dishes!

Amazing food! Friendly staff! I eat here every Thursday and always get a hot/great meal.
This is hands down the best Chinese food in the city. The only problem is the owner I think is suffering from success. I think they need more help and they have been pretty rude lately. We order 1-2 times a week but I’m starting to get frustrated with the people taking orders on the phone.

If it’s your first time eating here. You’ll walk in and at the register you can place your order then find a table. Or since it was our first time they handed us menus and we found a table to look everything over. Once we decided on what we wanted you’ll go back to the register to place your order.
I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and my wife ordered the Hong Kong Noodles with pork. We also ordered some chicken potstickers and a hot jasmine tea. The Pad Thai was okay, I didn’t care for it much but my wife dish was 10/10. I really enjoyed eating her half for lunch the next day. The potstickers were good as well.
I’ll return to try some other dishes next time I’m in the area.

The manager (owner?) was incredibly nice and accommodating! Despite how busy it was—with lots of takeout orders and a full dining area—the staff seemed to anticipate our needs perfectly. Glasses were never empty, they noticed right away when we were done with the high chair, and offered boxes as soon as our pace slowed. Overall, the staff was attentive and empathetic.
The atmosphere is a bit cozy, which can be a positive or negative depending on your mood. I’m fairly social and had a few friendly exchanges with other diners, but if you're not in the mood for interaction, takeout might be a better option.
Parking was a bit rough, but thankfully the lot to the east was open. It just required a quick hop over a small wall.
Be aware that the default spice level is higher than usual; but as someone who enjoys spicy food, it was just right for me.
You place your order and pay first, then either sit down or wait for your takeout.
