I love eating at this place I’m going to miss the great food and awesome friendly waitress sorry to hear they are closing at the end of April???
We were sitting outside having a good time, enjoying the evening with new friends. Our server Kelly was totally unprofessional, even rude...both in her attitude and behavior. The best time to go is during lunch. Gwen is awesome!
Very impolite staff at service counter. I am a delivery driver and the waited over 15 minutes for the food that was supposed to be ready. I eventually left.The lady didn't have the courtesy to tell me how long the wait would beShe just expected me to sit and waitRidiculous
Absolutlely love thier pot stickers! Best kareoke Singers i've ever found. Its like a secret place where old band members go to clear thier pipes! A real good vibe at the bar. Just a real nice establishment.
Such a friendly wonderful front staff. (it has to be the owner because she is so nice and caring) She always gives me a flower she makes to bring to my wife. The food is delicious, affordable, and consistent!
This place has an awesome lay out . Lighting is great as well. They have poker, pool and sports on many TV's. I was greeted promptly and the bartender had no problem making fresh coffee in the evening for my coffee,Bailey's and franjelico. I was their at a slow time on the evening but I can't wait to go back on a busier night and see the type of crowd they have.
Delightful atmosphere. Large dining room on one side of a spacious lobby, and a lively bar on the other. Wonderful staff, and delicious food, very well priced. I joked with my boo about moving in. In fairness, the dishes I'm not recommending is only because I haven't tried them.
Vegetarian options: Like most Chinese restaurants, they have an entire section of the menu dedicated to wonderful vegetarian fare.
Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere has an aura of wonder that should entertain the kiddos. They have excellent family specials, and a small American menu to accommodate finicky eaters.
Parking: There is plenty of parking, but it's also very busy; so, you may have to wait for a space to open up.
Wheelchair accessibility: Completely. Even the bathrooms are spacious for maneuverability.
Dietary restrictions: I'm sure they'll accommodate any requests; but, they do use eggs, nuts, peanuts and shellfish in the kitchen.
Love this place. The only place I know to make your own combo and you don't have to have rice as one of the options. Lots to choose from and genuinely good any night of the week. The only thing is that there is a bar attached that does karaoke. While it's fine and not too overbearing it can be loud at times when trying to dine. 8pm Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, are the start times for karaoke, so plan accordingly.Special shout out to the waitress that remembers our order, and who we are, even though we hadn't seen her in almost a year.
Parking: There's spots out front and down the side, however, space is limited. If you plan to go as a group please limit how many cars you take.
Food from them has always been top notch! Whether I order grub hub or pick up or dine in. I decided to do a pick up so they get all their profit and omg! She gave me a handmade rose( or 2). So awesome! Love this place.
Super disappointed. Spent over $100 on food, and they didn't bother to include any sweet and sour sauce for a large order of S&S chicken. Also no sauce for fried dumplings.

I really enjoyed my initial visit and plan to stop in again. The host was very nice and happily showed me to the lounge and explained how to get outside to the smoking area. I went to the bar, where I was greeted and served with a friendly smile and courteousness. The bartender checked on me regularly and was happy to serve food at the bar. The outdoor terrace was nicely sized and pleasant. The evening featured (shudder!) karaoke but much to my relief and surprise, the participants were quite good and the volume was well within acceptable bounds. For once I did not have to cover my bleeding ears while hastily fleeing the horrors of karaoke!! How delightful!Drinks were good, promptly prepared and delivered, and nicely affordable. The bar has a nice selection of brands but perhaps needs to augment it's supply or choices in the rum category. It was astonishing to not find the makings for that Chinese restaurant staple: the Mai Tai! The bartender did a GREAT job of cobbling together an acceptable substitution, but he should not have been put in that position to begin with.As for food, I only had the potstickers but they were beautifully prepared and presented and I will definitely order them on a regular basis. Very nice indeed!Overall, a very pleasant time was had and I will definitely return. I can see why the place was filling up as I was heading out.
Average low-mid quality Chinese joint. The interior is getting a bit run down and could use a refresh for sure. Decent food though
Drinks are overpriced for the quality of service they have.The blond female bartender lacks hygiene, and acts so paranoid and defensive toward customers. Yet the owners never care about their staff being clean or appropriate
Friendly staff but was honest to informed me that they served American Chinese food, not authentic Chinese cuisine. Tried twice and were enough to conclude my quest for wanting more real Chinese flavored dishes. Won't be back.
I was hyped up to eat here. Just like a book cover don't believe everything you hear and or read. The Mar Far chicken was disappointing as well as the egg rolls.. the vegetable dishes were ok. Everything had a lack of flavor aside from the egg drop soup. If you have low blood pressure or don't have problems with sodium, have at it. We ended up throwing out the soup. It was unfortunately inedible. We'll try the food again to see if there's a trend or not. An update will be posted after our next visit. On a side note, the bar is a classic throw back to the 70's. If you're in to that it was awesome! Friendly locals/regulars welcomed us to the bar. We will be back for the drinks for sure!
