In my opinion, the worst Chinese food in Columbus, maybe the world. Nothing is made common to the same dish everyone else in the country makes. Want LoMein? Better expect noodle soup drenched with white sauce, disgusting. Same odd recipes with cashew chicken (comes with about 3/4 pounds of snow peas and white sauce, no other veggies) and I won't even go into the horrible sauces of General Tsos or Kung Pao. Never going back. Sad I can't rate less than a star.

Waitress Dana is funny and efficient. She explained how some of the foods are flavored a bit differently being Cantonese. Restaurant is clean and tidy.

I tried this place for the first time over the weekend. An old coworker friend raved about how great it was so I decided to check it out, I was not impressed at all. The appetizers we got were egg rolls and dumplings, they were just ok. The waitress said the egg rolls were their #1 seller, I thought they tasted like any other egg roll I've had anywhere else. But the big disappointment was the entree. I should have got my favorite traditional dish I get at every Chinese restaurant which is general Tso, but again, I listened to the waitress who raved about some weird chicken dish there, so I got it and regretted my decision. The best way to describe was fried chicken with a strange orange sauce on it, but not a Chinese sauce, it seriously tasted like gravy. This was the further east thing from chine cuisine in my opinion. The fried rice was very plain and bland. My friend who went with me also agreed his food was just ok but not the traditional Chinese food we're used to experiencing in a Chinese restaurant.

Our waitress was very sweet and good. The food was horrible. 3 adults eating one being a OSU student. We ordered General Taos chicken, Szechuan chicken and one of their noodle dishes. The generals did not taste anything like any others we've ever ever had sent it back and was replaced with sweet-and-sour which was not much better. Rice was dry overcooked chicken was rubbery. The Szechuan sauce was more of a brown gravy. We asked to have it spiced up and it came back just salty, no heat. The noodle dish was edible, but not good, the shrimp were rubbery Chicken was rubbery and no flavor. Save your money. We still tipped well because none of it was the servers fault. College student comment was I would rather eat the dorm Chinese food.

I ordered wonton soup & chicken fried rice for take out. Though both items tasted good, was hot & fresh, it both lacked protein. The wonton had meat filling the size of my finger nail and the fried rice had a small amount of tiny chicken pieces in it. At least, the staff was friendly and place seemed packed and lively.

Love, love, love the egg rolls. No other place has egg rolls like them. All the other dishes are great. The meats are tender. No chewy here. Staff are long-term employees. The decor could be upgraded, but you forget about all that when you taste the food. They serve homemade bread with butter. Odd for a Chinese restaurant, but oh, so tasty.

I've only eaten here twice but both time the food was delicious. Unfortunately ordered the same thing for lunch both times since it was so good. Egg roll is legit best Ive ever has. War sui Gai is also top tier along with the wonton soup

Classic Chinese. Personally, I didn't care for their fried rice, overly soft, to the point of nearly mushy. Excellent egg rolls and Wor Su Gai. The hot tea is an interesting blend of Jasmine and Oolong.

Great , unique options! I had egg foo young, chow mein, and fried rice or excellent options. The Mongolian beef was average.Kid-friendliness: Comfortable menu options and welcoming
The General Tso's and House rice noodles was so old. Crumbled in my mouth like sand and the breading came right off when I picked a piece up. I ate two bites. 3 hrs later I was throwing up due to food poisoning. Do you know how old chicken has to be to be the texture of sand? The wonton soup was terrible as well. The dough to the wontons was raw. Gummy in the center. Worst Chinese I've had in Columbus. Last two experiences were so bad I'll never go again. Place has completely changed.

Food was great had beef fried rice and wonton soup. Beef was tender with the fried rice and soup was very flavorful and hot. Also loved the sprouts that were in the fried rice. Will definitely be back next time in town. Waitress and staff were very polite and attentive .

I had lunch today ordered lemon chicken & fried rice. My husband and I shared the large appetizer also, it wad 2 ribs, 2 shrimps, & 2 large eggrolls. The eggrolls were pink inside like if you let potato's sit too long after peeling. There was gigantic chunks of cabbage and who knows what else because I couldn't tell what else was inside it was all pink. The entrees come and my chicken smells like it's turned bad, & the rice was wayyyy too mushy and under seasoned. It was basically overcooked rice with soy sauce so maybe don't advertise it as fried rice. The lemon chicken also had coconut shredded over top...why?? It changed the whole flavor of the sauce. Too bad the chicken was no good.
