I was in town for Konvention and needed some late night GF food, I ordered the Singapore noodles with chicken and it was delicious!! The helpings are quite a bit too so I’ll have a few meals. Will definitely keep this in mind when I return each year!

We’ve eaten here before at its prior location and when it was called Shanghai Mamas and very much enjoyed it. This recent outing was mixed.

The stir fry dish was average, absolutely typical but fine.

The wontons in chili oil were very good.

The dish I came for though just wasn’t good at all. I ordered Shanghai scallops. It seemed as if scallops and vegetables were cooked together, and so scallops were very very chewy and overcooked while the vegetables were nearly raw. I appreciate an al dente vegetable, but this was beyond that. Scallops were either steamed by the broth and kept hot too long or were boiled with the vegetables. They need quickly seared and not put in broth until it cools a bit.

It may just be a matter of ordering the right thing. Like I said, wontons in chili oil were very good.

Quick and easy ordering for take out. Excellent quality, elevated Chinese food. I'll definitely be back again.

Disappointed. It was just ok - not inspired. There are many other options for this style of food at lower cost. I would skip & try someplace else. The service was great, though!

Food was decent. Great location in downtown Cincinnati and open late after bars close. All of the employees were cool. Check it out for late night eats.

Best orange chicken of my life. Good grief. Egg roll was also supreme.

The food was very overpriced for what it was. I would've been okay with the meals if they were $12 and the additional bowls of rice were at most $1.

Normally my experience here is always good one. I come for lunch. This day the guy who said he was the manager. He rung my food up at the regular price. I noticed it after I paid. I brought to his attention and he reswiped My my card not for a refund but to charge the correct lunch special price. That was not what he was that was not what he was supposed to be doing and now I have two pending charges for the same food that should’ve only been chores. Once once I asked to speak to his manager, he claimed he wasn’t there. He was the manager he’s the GM I asked for the owner information he wouldn’t give it to me and I will not be returning. The food is good. Get better service.
