Great food and great service

William Hay

This place used to be great with lineups at the door at lunch time but now it's a shell of its former self. suggest avoid.

Steven Kalapos

Good for a quick bite to eat or some lunch. Not the fanciest place but the price is right and the food is good

As others have said, food quality went down! Bring a jacket and wear it if you plan to eat inside, they never turn up the heat.

Ron Reed

Great food choices with large servings.

If I could give 0 stars, I would! I ordered a shrimp curry one with coconut milk as usual but this time it was soaked in oil. I am not picky and I don't usual complain so I tried to take napkins to soak up the oil but after 6 napkins I gave up! I called the store and a nice guy told me it was okay and to go there to exchange it. After I arrived, the owner (I am assuming) publicly yells at me telling me that it's not true, that there is no fat and that I don't know what I am talking about because it's "all coconut milk and we don't cook with oil." Listen, I get that it's hard to believe but I showed her the pictures and she was still screaming at me, in front of other customers by the way, telling me I was wrong. The other guy working there told me to ignore her and gave me another dish. While he was doing so, the owner was telling him to "not give her any sauce because she will complain that it's oil!!!". What? What a childish behaviour. I've eaten there multiple times but I can assure you that I am not coming back. Terrible way to treat customers. I have attached pictures of the meal. You can see the napkins are drenched in oil... NOT coconut milk.

Purposely avoiding this restaurant due to their lack of effort in being environmentally conscious. They don't recycle! They give you a plastic container even if you dine in. Get bio-degradable take out containers!

What a difference a few years makes. I went here somewhat regularly about 4 years ago. Lines, busy and good food.

It was good. Filling. I would given 4 stars but kind of expensive. But it worth to get of the cold and eat something hearty.

Always good and fresh, the servers behind the counter not so friendly. Know what you want before you arrive, they aren't overly patient.

Awful. I got the hunan dumplings. The rice paper was very overcooked, the chicken stuffing was this weird mystery meat with hard bits in it, the peanut sauce was melted Kraft peanut butter, which was the best part. I should've thrown it out but I ate half. I won't be returning. They have a 3.6 for a reason.

Cheap chinese takeout food

Used to go there a few years ago, was pretty good back then. Now food is so so. Windows up front ar absolutely filthy. For pete sakes, cleans your windows. Makes me wonder how seriously they take thier cleanliness there.
